As the warp knitting machine only uses warps to knit fabrics, it has been very popular in the textile industry thanks to the advantages such as short industrial process for production, high production efficiency, a great number of fabric varieties, low investments and low energy consumption.
  • To make all looping parts of a warp knitting machine to follow a predetermined movement track, and to make them closely cooperate with each other in time, a precisely designed transmission mechanism must be employed.
  • The cam-type transmission mechanism has been extensively used on old-style warp knitting machines. Since it is a linear (or point) contact between the cam and a follower, wear and tear tend to take place at the contact position during operations, which affects the motion regularity of looping parts and make them unsuitable for high speed operations of the machine.
