摘要

The invention relates to a device to control a movable cam (5) in a circular or flat knitting machine by means of an electric motor (6), such as a step motor or a servomotor, controlled by an electronic programming device of the machine. The electric motor (6) is fixedly arranged on a movable cam holder (4) and it is Kinematically coupled with a stationary part (31) of the machine. The coupling may be by means of a screw thread on the motor shaft as shown or a face cam on the motor shaft may engage a fixed follower. The device may be used to move a cam in the direction of needle movement as shown or in a direction at right angles to the needles. <IMAGE>
