Yarn Length Meter LMC-V, LMI-V
Measuring range 1 - 999999 cm oder inch
Electronic length meter to measure the yarn consumption of a single yarn feeding system for one or more machine cycles of a circular knitting machine.
Measuring time is determined with start/stop signal of the magnetic sensor or manual by operator
Yarn length meter LMI-V
Special Features
top
- Length meter available for measuring cm (LMC) and inch (LMI)
- Sensor controlled unit with a sensor (mounted on machine frame) and magnet (mounted on rotating part) for automatic start/stop signal
- Precision, ball-bearing mounted wheel is recessed into an adjustable slot on the rear side

- Material slip is eliminated by maximum enlacement of material (approx. 120°) with rubber coated wheel
It is stationary mounted between filament
break monitors and filament guides using
the supplied magnetic base.
Standard Features
- Easy to operate
- Includes magnetic base for quick installation on the machine; it is stationary mounted on the zylinder ring between filament break monitors and filament guides
- Battery operated length meter
Operation
In ''Auto'' mode a permanent magnet is mounted to a revolving part of the machine. The sensor supplies the start/stop signal. The predetermined number of revolutions (from 1- 99 rev. set on the rotary switches at the front side) are counted and the comulated yarn consumption is displayed .
In ''Basic'' mode the unit works without external sensor; Operator determines measuring time by pushing start - stop button.
Advantage of LM use:
- Continued measuring of the yarn consumption of all knitting feeds ensures uniform stitch lengths and hence homogeneous fabric structure.
- Predetermined fabric specifications can be reliably maintained and repeated.
- The quantities of each type of yarn which are required for producing particular fabrics can be simply and accurately calculated.
- The use of LM ensures the same fabric quality, respectively structures can be produced on different machines in the same quality.
