Knitting, Hosiery & Stretch-Fabric Control 10
- Circular Knitting Specific Energy, Cost per Kilogram & Carbon Derives production in kilograms per hour from the machine's own knitting geometry, adds drive, auxiliary and compressed air load, and reports specific energy in kWh per kilogram with the cost, the annual consumption and the carbon behind it. Specific Energy kWh/kg
- Elastane Plating Draft, Content Percentage & Retraction Force Derives the elastane loop length from the plating draft ratio, splits fabric weight between ground yarn and elastane to give the content percentage against target, and reports the extension the elastane is held at and the retraction force per centimetre of fabric. Elastane Content %
- Knit Tube Slitting: Open Width, Trim Loss & Marker Fit Derives the open width a knitted tube gives when slit, from needle count and wales per centimetre, deducts the edge trim, fits markers across the usable width and prices the strip left over - usually the largest single loss in the process. Open Width After Slitting cm
- Knitting Fault Locator: Repeat Spacing to Feeders and Needles Converts the measured spacing of a repeating knitting fault into courses and wales, and from there into the number of feeders or needles that must be involved - turning a ruler measurement on the inspection table into a specific list of parts to look at. Feeders Involved
- Knitting Order Allocation, Machine Count & Slack to the Due Date Converts an order in kilograms into machine hours, finds the smallest machine count that meets the due date once each machine's own changeover is deducted, and reports completion, slack and how much of the committed time is changeover rather than knitting. Machines Needed to Meet the Date
- Loop Length for a Target Finished Weight, Through Finishing Shrinkage Solves for the loop length that delivers a target finished fabric weight at the finished stitch density, then works back through length and width shrinkage to give the greige weight and density the knitting floor should expect to measure. Loop Length to Set mm
- Positive Feeder Slippage, Loop Length Error & Barre Spacing Compares a positive feeder's theoretical delivery against the length measured at the machine, converts the slippage into loop length and fabric weight error, and gives the vertical spacing of the banding that feeder-to-feeder variation produces. Feeder Slippage %
- Rib & Interlock Loop Transfer Strain, Tightness Limit and Speed Cost Works out the loop length a transfer actually demands from needle pitch and the cylinder-dial gap, distributes the shortfall across the loops that rob to supply it, and reports the resulting yarn strain, the tightest setting that will still transfer, and the speed the transfer courses cost. Transfer Strain as Share of Breaking Extension %
- Stitch Cam Setting Window, Tightness Factor & Fabric Weight Turns yarn count and loop length into the tightness factor, brackets the workable loop length between a tight and a slack limit, places the current setting inside that window, and reports needles, fabric weight and yarn consumption at the machine's running speed. Tightness Factor K
- Warp Knitting: Runner Lengths to Fabric Weight & Machine Output Turns guide bar runner lengths and yarn counts into fabric weight on a tricot or raschel machine: computes needles in the bed, yarn fed per rack, the weight each bar contributes, the resulting GSM, and the machine output in metres and kilograms per hour at a stated speed. Fabric Weight g/m²
