Flate Knitting Machine
Overview
Flat knitting machines are versatile textile machines used to produce flat knitted fabrics and fully fashioned garments such as sweaters, collars, and uppers with high precision and design flexibility.
Working Principle
Needles are arranged in a straight needle bed rather than a circular configuration.
A carriage moves back and forth across the needle bed to form loops.
Yarns are interlocked to create flat fabric panels or shaped garments.
Computerized control allows complex patterns and automatic shaping.
