Innovative Cam Flat Bed Knitting Machine with Direct Needle Selection Feature

This machine is designed for producing a variety of knitted products including sweaters, hats, scarves, collars, underwear and other custom knitted items. It supports weft, flat, double and jacquard knitting styles.

Available gauges are 7 GG, 8 GG, 9 GG, 10 GG, 12 GG and 14 GG to cover a wide range of fabric fineness and yarn types.

The knitting width is 52 inches and the maximum production speed is 1.6 m/s.

The machine's rated power is 1500 W. Exact voltage and phase requirements can vary by model/configuration — please confirm required mains supply (e.g., single or three-phase and voltage) with the supplier or installer's electrical specification sheet before connection.

Machine dimensions are 2500 × 850 × 1700 mm (L × W × H). Net weight is 600 kg. Packed (single package) size is 260 × 100 × 180 cm and single gross weight is approximately 800 kg.

Direct Needle Selection lets the controller address individual needles directly for complex stitch patterns, quicker pattern changes and finer control of jacquard and textured effects. It simplifies programming of multi‑color and shaped designs and improves production flexibility.

The machine features computerized operation and PLC control. Supported pattern file formats and CAD software can vary by controller model — consult the supplier for a list of compatible pattern software and file formats or for optional software packages.

Yes. The machine supports double knitting methods as well as jacquard, enabling complex two‑layer fabrics and patterned designs.

The machine is suitable for both beginners and experienced knitters. Beginners will benefit from the computerized controls and direct needle selection, though initial training on setup, pattern loading and maintenance is recommended for safe and efficient operation.

Routine maintenance generally includes regular cleaning of yarn and lint, lubrication of moving parts per the maintenance schedule, periodic inspection and replacement of needles and sinkers, and checking electrical and PLC connections. Follow the manufacturer's maintenance manual for intervals and procedures.

Key components (motor, PLC and mechanical parts) are commonly stocked by the manufacturer or authorized dealers. For availability, lead times and recommended spare parts kits, contact the vendor or authorized service center.

The listed gauges (7–14 GG) accommodate a broad range of yarn counts: lower GG (7–8) suits thicker yarns; mid GG (9–10) suits medium yarns; higher GG (12–14) suits finer yarns. For best results, test specific yarns for stitch definition and tension or consult the supplier for recommended yarn counts for each gauge.

The machine uses industrial electrical and moving components, so expect emergency stop capability and standard guarding where applicable. Always follow the operator manual, disable power before servicing, keep hands and loose clothing away from moving parts, and provide appropriate machine guarding and PPE as required.

The machine ships in a single package sized approximately 260 × 100 × 180 cm with a gross weight around 800 kg. Confirm with the supplier which accessories, manuals, tooling and software (if any) are included in the shipment.

Most manufacturers or authorized dealers provide operator training, start‑up support and commissioning. Request training options (on‑site, remote, or at the factory) when ordering and ask about training materials and recommended operator certification.
