CYLINDER of CIRCULAR
KNITTING MACHINE
The model PT-100-L features an adjustable counter for up to 10 cylinder
revolutions of the knitting machine. The cylinder revolutions are monitored by a
magnetic switch.
To use this feature, the SUPPLIED MAGNET must be mounted to the cylinder of the
knitting machine by using an M5 flat head bolt. The supplied MAGNETIC SWITCH is
fitted to the stationary part of the knitting machine so that it is at the same height as the
SUPPLIED MAGNET (see fig. 3.4.2b). The switching distance between the SUPPLIED
MAGNET and MAGNETIC SWITCH should be set to about 2 mm with the adjusting nut
and lock nut of the MAGNETIC SWITCH.
