DJC2.4 Double Jersey Machine-Dial four & six track adjusting keys per feeder

The critical adjustment process for each yarn feeder on a circular knitting machine involves several steps. Let's explore them in detail:

1. Observe the fabric quality: Before making adjustments, it is crucial to evaluate the fabric quality. By inspecting the fabric for any defects, such as missed stitches, loops, or irregular patterns, operators can determine which areas need adjustment.

2. Identify problem feeders: Once the areas that need adjustment are identified, operators need to identify the specific feeders that are causing the problem. This can be done by carefully observing the knitting process and identifying the yarn feeder responsible for the problem area.

3. Select the adjustment key: Once the feeder in question is identified, the operator needs to select the appropriate adjustment key to make adjustments. Each feeder has a corresponding key that allows targeted tension correction.

4. Adjustment Key: To adjust tension, the operator turns the selected adjustment key clockwise or counterclockwise. Turning clockwise tightens the yarn tension, and turning counterclockwise loosens the yarn tension. The degree of rotation required depends on the nature and severity of the fabric quality problem.

5. Check the impact: After making the necessary adjustments, the operator observes the impact on fabric quality. If the problem persists, further adjustments may be needed. By iteratively repeating the process, operators can improve yarn tension and fabric quality until the desired result is achieved.
