Flat Bed Machine
Introduction

A flat knitting machine is a two-bed machine. The most important mechanical features of a flat
knitting machine are the supporting frame, the yarn feeding system, a transmission system, a
fabric takedown motion, a central programming unit, and a needle-bed racking system.

The manual flat knitting machine is made up of a frame carrying the base; this structure supports
all the needle beds and motions necessary for the knitting process

The yarn unwound from the spool is picked up by the feeding system: a tensioner, which adjusts
the feeding tension and a thread guide, driven by the machine carriage, which provides the
needle with yarn at the proper time.

The tensioner is made up by a spring-load, flexible arm, that lowers when the yarn tension
increases, to feed a bigger quantity of yarn, and lifts up when the tension decreases.

Flat Bed Knitting Machine:


Flat Bed Knitting Machine produces flat pieces. Most common knitting machine for hobbiests
and boutique producers. Garments produced from a flat bed knitting machine normally have side
seams. ; It is not possible to knit in the round on a flat bed knitting machine. Flat bed knitting
machines cannot work purl stitches or garter stitch automatically. A flat bed knitting
machine comprising a flat elongate bed on which is retained a plurality of parallel, latchable,
needles equally spaced along the length of the bed and each movable relative to the bed in a
direction lengthwise of the needles and transverse of the bed length.
Main Features:

1. Flat knitting machine has two stationary needle beds


2. Latch needles are used
3. Angular cams of a bi-directional cam system are used
4. The cam system is attached to the underside of a carriage, which with its selected yarn
carriers.
5. The carriage traverses in a reciprocating manner across the machine width
6. There is a separate cam system for each needle bed
7. The two cam systems are linked together by a bridge, which passes across from one
needle bed to the other.
8. Normally machine gauge is 3 to 18 needles per inch and machine width up to 79 inches.

Function of different parts of flat bed knitting machine

1. Tension Equipment: Provides tension force for yarn to be fed to the yarn feeder.

2. Cone Stand Plate: Table on which cone is arranged.

3. Fluorescent Lamp: It is necessary to see the condition of the needle bed gap and so on during
knitting. Turn on and off on the controller screen.

4. Cone Stand: Holds the cone.

5. Signal Lamp: There are three indication lamps are as follows:

 Green lamp------------------------Machine is in operation.


 Blinking Green lamp-------------Machine is stopped by operation.
 Blinking yellow lamp----------Machine is stopped because of error, or completion of
piece.

6.Carriage: Control the motion of the needle.

7. Operation Bar: Actuates and stops the carriage. Also used for clearing operation errors.

8. Stop Switch: The purpose is to machine in an emergency only.

9. Side Cover: Installed at the both sides of safety cover.

10. Safety Cover: Suppresses the noise and dust.

11. Side Tension Equipment: Pulls the yarn fed to the feeder to create tension as tension
equipment does.
12. Carrier Rail: Used for the carrier to move on.

13. Controller: Loads knitting data for floppy disk and command the machine to execute the
data. Modifying and inputting data are available in controller.

14. Lock Lever: By execute this lever, the sub roller is pressed and comes into contact with the
main roller. Pull the lever toward you to release the sub roller from the main roller. Press the
lever downward to engage the sub roller.

15. Main Power Switch: Cuts off power supply. This switch has emergency stop function. In
case of an emergency, turn this switch off.

16. Oil Pump: Supplies oil to the brush holder and the racking side plate.

17. Breaker Switch: This protects the machine from odd power source to the turned off
automatically. The breaker switch is back side of controller.
