- 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
- Magnetic base for quick installation; it is stationary mounted on the zylinder ring between filament break monitors and the filament guides.
- Battery operated length meter
Operation
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.
