Three System Computerized Flat Knitting Machine: How does it promote intelligent knitting production?

With the digital upgrade of the textile industry, the Three System Computerized Flat Knitting Machine has gradually become an important equipment for modern sweater, upper and 3D fabric processing. With three independent yarn feeding systems, this type of machine not only improves knitting efficiency, but also realizes the knitting of more complex patterns and three-dimensional structures, and is favored by knitting factories and ODM/OEM manufacturers.

What is the Three System Computerized Flat Knitting Machine?

This is a high-end computer-controlled flat knitting machine with three independent yarn feeding systems. It can complete the combination of multi-color, multi-layer and multi-texture in a single knitting process, realizing intelligent, automated and high-precision synchronous control.

What is the difference between it and single-system and dual-system machines?

Single system: only supports one yarn running at the same time, slow speed, suitable for basic patterns;

Dual system: two sets of yarns running at the same time, improving efficiency but limited knitting complexity;

Three system: three yarns can work independently or collaboratively to achieve highly complex structures such as three-dimensional relief, upper hollowing, composite fabrics, etc.

Working principle analysis

The core components of the Three System Computerized Flat Knitting Machine include:

Needle bed: full needle or partial needle position adjustment, automatic control of segmented needle position;

Three system yarn feeder: supports independent up and down feeding, anti-winding design;

Servo motor drive: controls the movement of the machine head and the knitting rhythm, high-precision positioning;

Computer control system: supports USB or network upload of patterns, compatible with mainstream pattern software (such as SDS, KnitCAD, etc.).

What are its significant advantages?

Weaving efficiency is increased by more than 30%: multi-yarn system collaboration reduces downtime for yarn change;

More complex pattern weaving: supports intarsia, jacquard, partial encryption, hollowing and other structures;

Energy-saving and intelligent: servo system energy-saving control, automatic induction shutdown protection;

Strong material compatibility: supports wool, polyester, acrylic, coated silk, etc.;

Save labor costs: automatic threading and automatic cloth drop systems reduce the number of operators;

Remote monitoring and maintenance: supports network management, and can view production capacity and fault reports through the PC.

Popular Q&A: Questions you may want to know

Q1: How many people are needed to operate this machine?

Usually one person can operate 2~3 machines at the same time, because it has functions such as automatic feeding, yarn break detection, and cloth drop reminder, which greatly reduces manual intervention.

Q2: How much labor cost can be saved compared with traditional machines?

Conservative estimates can save 30~50% of labor input, especially in yarn change, turn, yarn break detection and other links with higher automation.

Q3: How to upload the pattern program?

It supports uploading programs via USB flash drive, LAN or even cloud platform, and is compatible with a variety of pattern design software, which is easy to operate.

Q4: Is it difficult to maintain?

The machine has self-check alarm and fault display interface. Daily maintenance focuses on cleaning the slide rail and replacing some wear parts. Workers can easily master it after training.

Q5: Can it support multi-color knitting at the same time?

Yes, the three-system design is for multi-yarn coordination, and can support up to 6 colors of automatic switching and gradient color mixing effects.

Purchase suggestions: What should I pay attention to when purchasing?

Is it a true three-system: Some commercially available products are pseudo-three-systems, which are actually dual-system structure expansions;

Is the control system easy to use: It is recommended to choose a brand with a Chinese-friendly interface and strong software versatility;

Is the after-sales service of accessories complete: key components such as needle beds, yarn feeders, and electronic control boards must be guaranteed to be supported by the original manufacturer;

Can the remote monitoring system be upgraded: It is convenient for centralized management of large-scale factories;

Does it comply with electrical safety certification: such as CE, ISO, etc., to ensure export or safe production.

Market Trend: The Future of Three System Flat Knitting Machine

Intelligent: Introducing AI pattern recognition, automatic typesetting, and remote process push;

Green energy saving: Servo drive + automatic sleep to reduce energy consumption;

Integrated manufacturing: 3D seamless garment forming will become a development trend;

Multi-system expansion: Some brands are developing four-system or even five-system knitting machines.

Summary: Why is it the core equipment of modern knitting factories?

The Three System Computerized Flat Knitting Machine has become a key equipment in modern knitting production with its high efficiency, intelligence and strong adaptability. Whether it is high-end sweater customization or large-scale shoe upper weaving, it can provide high-precision and personalized solutions, significantly improving the factory automation level and product added value.
