Different types of knitting process



Knitting is more important for fabric construction. In this knitting process many types of machine are used. Single jersey, double jersey, rib, interlock and many other types of machine are used. This machine is used follow the fabric stricture.
According to frame design and needle bed arrangement.
v         Flat knitting machine
v         Circular Knitting machine
 According to number of needle bed set of needle.
v          Single jersey knitting machine
v          Double jersey knitting machine
According to end of product.
v         Garments length machine on fully fashion machine
v          Fabric machine on cutting and sewing machine
According to basic structure of weft knitting.
v         Plain/single jersey knitting machine
v         Rib knitting machine
v         Interlock knitting machine
v         Purl knitting machine
According to types of needle are used
v         Knitting machine equipped with latch needle machine
v         Knitting machine equipped with bearded needle machine


     
Different types of machines features for knitting process
      Flat knitting machine has two stationary needle beds. Latch needle are use, angular cam of a bi-directional cam system is used. The carriage traverses in reciprocating manner across the machine width (40”), there is a separate cam system for each bed. Two cam systems are together by a bridge.
      We know that, the main substance for fabric manufacture is yarn (cotton, silk etc). Knitting is the other a good number used method, following weaving processes that turn yarns or threads into fabric. It is a multitalented method that can create fabrics having different properties such as wrinkle-resistance, stretch ability, better fit, mainly demand suitable to the rising popularity of sportswear and informal wears. Now-a-days, knitted fabrics are used commonly for making garments, underwear’s, sweaters, jeans, suits and coat separately from rug and other home fittings.
      The structure of knitted fabric is the assess by the amount of stitches or loops per square inch. When the interlock loops run lengthwise, is called a wale and other direction is called a course.

macro-structure of cotton fiber | Under a microscope cotton

Under a microscope a cotton fiber appears as a very fine, regular fiber, looking like a twisted ribbon or a collapsed and twisted tube. These twists are called convolutions there are about sixty convolutions per centimeter. The convolutions give cotton an uneven fiber surface, which increases inter-fiber friction and enables fine cotton, yearns of squatted strength to be spun. The appearance of the cotton fiber’s cross sections is referred as being kidney-shaped. The micro structure of cotton The cotton fiber is a single plant cell. Its cross-section is oval, compared with the normal hexagonal plant cell. Cotton has a district cuticle, well developed primary and secondary walls and a lumen. Layer 1 the cuticle is a waxy protective layer that provides water resistance to the fibers as they are growing. This lawyer is removed by scouring during processing before spinning.

Importance of twisted structure of textile fiber

Trelor in his Mather lecture, titled “Twisted Structures” adequately recognizes the role of twist in yarns and the part it plays in the design of textile structures .He discusses the obvious necessity of twist in the natural and staple fibers by pointing out “ Twist is essential to provide a certain minimum coherence between fibers, without a yarn having a significant tensile strength cannot be made. This coherence is dependent on the frictional forces brought into play by the lateral pressures between fibers arising from the application of a tensile stress along the yarn axis. With the introduction of continuous filament yarns, however, the role of twist must be reconsidered. In continuous filament yarns, twist is not necessary for the attainment of tensile strength (in fact, it reduces it) but it is necessary for the achievement of satisfactory resistance to abrasion, fatigue, or other types of damage associated with stresses other than a simple tensile stress, and typified ...

Types of Yarn twist | different types of yarn twist | S twist | Z twist

Types of Yarn twist different types of yarn twist S twist Z twist“S” TWIST: A single yarn has “S” twist if when it is held in the vertical direction , the fibers inclined to the conform in direction of slope of the contact portion of the letter “S”. axis of the yarn “Z” TWIST. A single has “Z” twist if when it is held in the vertical direction, the fibers inclined to the yarn axis conform in the direction of the slope to the central portion of the letter “Z”. DIRECTION OF TWIST: In the designation of yarns, it is essential to specify the direction of twist. Besides its importance in simplifying the trade, it is of great technical importance in designing fabrics. For example, in a twill fabric, the direction of twist in the yarn is of particular importance in determining the predominance of twill effect. For a   right-handed twill, the best contrasting effect will be obtained when a yarn with Z twist is used; on the other-hand a left-handed twist will produce a fabric ha...
