1-2 Functions
1. Introduction
The computer controlling system for Sock Knitting Machine is designed based on the technique of Korean Samde Company. It is the fruit of our R&D experience and advanced technology. We used computer to manage the whole process of designing, machining, assembling and testing so that we can ensure high reliability and efficiency. Here we brief the functions and features of the machine as follows: 1. Friendly interface, with a Chinese display screen (320*240) and clear data output from the LCD. 2. Needle selecting machine is designed based on the imported technique. It adopts the advanced shielding system to avoid disturbing so that coordination can be a reality. It has the features of high working frequency, high reliability, and good cooling. 3. The pc controlling box can drive maximally 6 needle selecting machines and 16 reamers, or 64 valves (can be extended to 128). 4. Use USB to input and save parameters of patterns, machines, actions and chains, for the safety and durability of the data to replace the easily damaged disks. 5. The parameters for pattern and setting can be input from or saved in the USB memory disk. 6. We use password to safeguard the parameter setting to avoid accidental or illegal change to the parameters so that we enhance the reliability and safety. 7. Needle working can be adjusted to turning and gradual faster or slower so that the efficiency of weaving is improved. We use special technique to control the turn-over of the needles to reduce the shake of the machine and change in the electric pressure to lengthen the life of the electric motor. 8. The parameters for patterns, chains and actions can be stored for more than 20 years after Zhejiang Mingde Robotization&Equipment Co.,Ltd

adopting the new technology to avoid the data damage caused by power off. Adopting the advanced servo control technique to improve the accuracy and speed. Advance SLSI is used to ensure an easy operation and high reliability, stability and safety. We can use the computer system to restart a pattern. This technique solves the current problem and above the global level. the loop synchronization is still active, accurate and stable, while conducting jog operation The present angle is displayed on the computer, so that we can achieve better accuracy in setting the valve status. The pattern design software is easier to use. It contains pattern design as well as the chain, action and parameters, so that users can use a few clicks to change the design instead of the complicated operation on the machine. And the comparison between the pace size and the pattern can help the user to avoid mistakes. It is far superior to the similar equipments. This equipment can achieve perfect connecting in the heel part while some can not make 2F connecting.

1. Press F2 to set the speed to 0, and then press SET to start. At this time the needle box should keep fixed. If the needle box turn clockwise or anticlockwise, there is something wrong with the zero alignment. You can correct this by adjusting the corresponding RP on the main board. Press STOP to stop the servo motor and set the speed to 20, then press F1 go set the needle box turning direction to clockwise. After that, press SET to start the servo motor and check whether the actual speed is 20. If not, correct by adjusting the corresponding RP on the main board. Make sure that when you are inputting the speed setting to test the servo motor, the moving direction is clockwise. Reverse test should only be conducted by professionals.

The bigger the number, the longer the power supply, and the more powerful the blade. This also leads to more heat generated. Normally, the default number is ok. Set HeelLeft-1 parameter shows the left moving range of the needle box when weaving the this heel part. You can input degree by press number keys. Set HeelLRight1 parameter shows the right moving range of the needle box when weaving this the heel part. You can input degree by press number keys. Set Heel Over1the parameter indicates the point where the machine turns from clockwise moving to anticlockwise moving after weaving the heel. In other words, the needle box turns anticlockwise an angle smaller than the set one and then turns clockwise. The angle is set based on the starting position. Set ForfexAdd1at the first half loop of the slip stitch, the needle box should turn a little over the heel weaving action to ensure that the threat is cut off. This parameter is set for the excessive range. Press numbers to input the degree. Other parameters are for back up you can just leave them for now. After set the parameters, press ESC to quit. The machine will ask Do you want to save them? press SET to save and quit, press ESC quit without save. Press F6 to return to the superior menu without save. Press F7 to return to the main menu without save.
Attention: after setting the parameters, you have to return to the main menu and shut off the machine for at least 30 seconds for proper initialization of the data when power on. If you skip initialization phrase and start weaving, the result is unpredictable.

C (number 0) stands for alternative weaving using pattern No. 1 and pattern No. 2. Work pointinvalid Plusyarn ADDindicates the angle that the plating shuttle valve moves before the pattern setting. Press number keys to change. SpForThemanThe parameter is set for the maximum speed of the main shuttle automatic thread shifting. For example, a maximum speed of 100 is set, when the machine runs in the chain with the speed set of 300. When the shuttle is to shift thread, the machine slows down to the speed of 100, a circle in advance. After the shifting, it automatically rises back to 300. This is designed to ensure the accuracy of thread shifting. If the current setting speed for the chain is below 100, then it works at the lower speed. Normally, you can use the default setting SPfortheplusThe parameter is set for the maximum speed of the plating valve. For example, a maximum speed of 100 is set, when the machine runs in the chain with the speed set of 300. When there is need to change the thread during the weaving process, the machine slows down to the speed of 100, a circle in advance. After that, it automatically rises back to 300. If the current setting speed for the chain is below 100, then it works at the lower speed. Normally, you can use the default setting. ElasticExlenthis parameter shows the degree the needle box turns before the elastic cord motor stops working. The elastic cord motor will work on for some time after the chain stops at the set position so that the elastic cord wont break off when the machine starts next time. After set the parameters, press ESC to quit. The machine will ask Do you want to save them? press SET to save and quit, press ESC quit without save.
