Abstract
The group of circular knitting machines with large diameter includes machines with one or two needle-beds with diameters higher than 178 mm and that use knitting process with final loop for stitch forming. The fabrics produced by circular knitting machines with large diameter are designed both for underwear products, clothing products and other destinations items (items for interior decorations, bed linen, technical articles, toys). Manufacturers of circular knitting machines have improved these machines in particular for: increasing productivity and polyvalence of these machines, reducing production costs, increasing quality of knitted fabrics. Appearance and uniformity of knitted fabrics are quality characteristics that directly depend on technological parameters of knitting. The paper presents ways for adjustment of fabric density at knitted fabrics produced by circular knitting machine with large diameter, type interlock, belonging to Mayer & Cie company. Keywords: circular knitting machine, knitted fabrics, fabric density
