1A1_0480_ ANALYSIS OF THE STICH FORMATION PROCESS AND MODELLING OF THE YARN MOVEMENT IN HIGH PERFORMANCE TRICOT KNITTING MACHINES

Abstract

In the textile industry, the development and production of sophisticated textiles characterized by extremely high quality and performance as well as additional functions is continuously enhanced. The warp knitting process offers excellent conditions due to the high variety of pattern design. The processing of low-stretch yarn materials, such as staple fibers or high-tenacity yarns, is challenging, particularly at high production rates. Therefore, the interactions between knitting elements and yarn in the stitch formation process are modeled.
