Warp Knitting Machine Parts
Pattern Needles And Jacquard Needles
Pattern and jacquard needles including the AF series.
What This Part Does On The Machine
Pattern and jacquard needles are the elements a patterning mechanism acts on. Instead of every guide following the same shog, selected needles are deflected so a single guide bar can produce a figured ground.
The AF series listed on the original site is supplied in a range of lengths, from AF1-70 through to AF3-200, because the needle length has to suit the machine and the depth of the pattern mechanism. Quote the full reference including the length.
Where It Is Used
Jacquard warp knitting machines and patterning attachments.
What To Send With Your Enquiry
- Machine brand and machine type, for example Karl Mayer HKS or LIBA.
- Machine gauge in needles per inch, for example E28.
- The number cast or stamped on the old part, if it still reads.
- A photograph of the worn part next to a ruler.
- Quantity required and whether this is a trial or a running order.
