YARN FEEDING DEVICE FOR FLAT KNITTING MACHINE

摘要

A yarn feeding device for a flat knitting machine capable of accurately predicting the demand of knitting yarn and knitting a fabric while supplying knitting yarn necessary for knitting. Knitting yarn is fed out based on an idea shown in a solid line in consideration of a yarn speed corresponding to the demand for knitting yarn produced according to the movement of a yarn feeding member as shown by chain lines in Fig. 6(b), and knitting yarn is stored on a buffer beam at the start of knitting because the speed of a motor such as a servo motor for feeding knitting yarn lags behind a yarn speed to feed out knitting yarn in advance that runs short at the time of deceleration at the end of knitting.
