 INTRODUCTION

A jacquard circular knitting machine includes a cylindrical needle cylinder

provided with a plurality of knitting needles, a patterning mechanism for
controlling the vertical sliding motion of the knitting needles on the knitting
cylinder to knit a jacquard knitted fabric, and a driving mechanism for driving
the needle cylinder.
 OBJECTIVE OF CIRCULAR JACQUARD MACHINE

 In this study the main objective is to understand the mechanism

of the circular jacquard machine. Patterning system to produce a
design knit fabrics.
 Also try to find out the difference in mechanism between
mechanical jacquard & electrical jacquard machines.
 Another object is to find out the difference in properties among
the fabrics produced by conventional knitting machine &
jacquard knitting machine with different type of yarn used.
CIRCULAR JACQUARD KNITTING MACHINE

Based on design size : Can be classified in two types

1.Mechanical jacquard.
2. Electrical jacquard.
1.Mechanical jacquard knitting machine
Generally the Jacquard machines were mechanically
processed. The patterns which required are
mechanically introduced in the machine
ELECTRICAL JACQURED KNITTING MACHINE
 A jacquard circular knitting machine is disclosed provided
with a needle cylinder driving mechanism capable of
optionally and readily controlling the rotary motion of the
needle cylinder according to the pattern to be knitted
 A motor interlocked through gears or the like with the needle
cylinder rotates according to a needle cylinder rotating
procedure stored previously in a magnetic memory medium
 CONT….
 Needle actuators operate according to a pattern forming
procedure stored in another magnetic memory medium
as a signal is provided by a sensor for sensor for
detecting the rotary motion of the needle cylinder
 Thus a jacquard circular-knitted fabric having
predetermined patterns can be knitted efficiently.
ELECTRICAL CIRCULAR JACQUARD KNITTING MACHINE ELEMENTS

1.Electromagnetic needle selector

2.Spring Jack
3.Jack Cam Box and Jack cam.
4.Needle
5.Sinker
6.Special cam box for electrical circular jacquard.
 CONT….
 Mechanical & electronic circular jacquard machines are very
much useful & versatile in nature but to do maximum use of
these machines it is important to have proper knowledge
about their driving & patterning mechanism.
 The changed property of the fabrics produced from circular
jacquard knitting machines from conventional circular
knitting machines is also a purpose of the study.
SPECIAL PROPERTIES OF JACQUARD KNIT MACHINE

1.PATTERN CHANGE

A .Fast pattern change helps reduce downtimes and improves the

efficiency of the machine.

B .Pattern change can be carried out quickly and easily with all
types in the electronic ranges

C . All necessary pattern data are transferred onto a floppy disk,

which can be created quickly and easily using the pattern
preparation system.
 CONT …..
2.Repeat of design
In jacquard circular knitting machine each and every
needles can be controlled using peg or jack. It is very easy
to produce a design of very long repeat

3.REPLACE PRINTING:
Computerized patterning system allows producing fabric
like printing using dyed yarn Setting up a printing plant is
comparatively costly than a circular electric jacquard
machine. The step of printing can be removed using
knitting jacquard machine.
CONT…

4.Multiple yarns in one repeat

Any number of yarns of different colors or
different count or different specifications can
be used for one repeat which gives the fabric
versatile design.

5.Design like woven fabric

Some stripes or designs which were only
possible in woven fabric can now very easily
developed in knit fabric using electrical
jacquard circular knitting machine.
ADVANTAGE CIRCULAR KNITTING MACHINE

1.Save maintenance cost

2.Better quality of plated fabric
3.Less friction for each part
4.Fantastic machine speed
 CONCLUSION
This study has reveled full mechanism of
circular jacquard knitting machine with the
properties of fabric that differs from circular
knitting machine. If jacquard machine is used
according to its merit, than it can be a great
profit for the world growing knitting industry.
