Abstract
Various types of rib and interlock fabrics found in the market depend on their structure such as 1 × 1 rib, 2 × 1 rib, 2 × 2 rib, 3 × 1 rib, 3 × 2 rib, 4 × 1 rib, 4 × 4 rib and 1 × 1 interlock, 2 × 2 interlock etc. These all types of fabric can be possible to knit in circular knitting machine after machine setting. When these fabrics are knit on the machine, some needles are needed to drop or withdrawn from needle groove according to their design such as 1 × 1, 2 × 1, 2 × 2 etc. Due to needle dropping or withdrawing production per hour will changed as production per hour directly depends on the No. of active needle. No. of needle or active needle depends on machine gauge. This paper gives a new approach for machine gauge which is somewhat different from other thinking. This paper also shows the production calculation formula with their machine setting for various rib and interlock fabric with their derivation. By this paper, one can easily understood about machine gauge and calculated production of any type of rib and interlock knitted structure. Complexity of calculating production can be reduced by this paper.
Highlights
Knitting is the second most popular technique of fabric or garment formation by inter-looping one or one set of yarns
A 30 gauge circular knitting machine is running with 1 × 1 rib fabric machine setting
The values which are used in the production calculation have influences on the production of knit fabric
Summary
Knitting is the second most popular technique of fabric or garment formation by inter-looping one or one set of yarns. (2016) A New Approach for Machine Gauge & Production Calculation of Various Kinds of Rib and Interlock Knitted Fabric Structure. For the weft knitted fabric production, two main knitting machines are used such as flat bed knitting machine and circular knitting machine. There are four weft knitted structure named single jersey, rib, interlock and purl. Circular machines are mainly single cylinder type for single jersey fabric, cylinder and dial type for rib and interlock fabrics and double cylinder types for purl fabrics [3]. There are some problems associated due to machine setting when knitters going to calculate the production of other rib and interlock structures. This paper is going to show the production calculation formula for various rib and interlock structure
