In the complex knitting process of warp knitting machine, slot needle plays a crucial role. As a key component of knitting machinery, the groove needle guides the yarn into a coil that builds the fabric's basic structure
The function of the slot needle
Slot needle is one of the main parts used to guide yarn to form coil in warp knitting machine. During the knitting process, the groove needle guides the yarn accurately to the knitting needle through its unique shape and structure, so that the yarn forms a coil on the knitting needle. This process is the basis of the knitting work of the warp knitting machine, because the coil is the basic unit that makes up the fabric. The design and performance of the groove needle directly affect the weaving efficiency, fabric quality and the running stability of the machine.
The functions of the slot needle include
Guide the yarn: The grooved needle draws the yarn out of the storage device through its notch or hole and guides it accurately onto the knitting needle.
Coil formation: During the descent of the knitting needle, the yarn in the groove needle is hooked and a coil is formed. This coil is the basis of fabric formation.
Control yarn tension: The groove needle also applies the appropriate tension to the yarn to ensure that the coil size and shape meet the braiding requirements.
