Abstract (en)

[origin: EP2336411A1] To provide a flatbed knitting machine that can maintain the accuracy for the feed lengths of knitting yarn even when remedial process is performed while the yarn is being fed in a necessary yarn feeding mode. In a flatbed knitting machine 31, the rotational angle of a master roller 10 of a yarn feeding device 6 is detected by an encoder 32. As the tilt angle of a buffer arm 7 approaches the lower limit or the upper limit in the midst of the necessary yarn feeding mode, the mode is switched to a fixed arm angle mode as remedial process. A knitting controller 33 performs stitch adjustment even during remedial process. The length of knitting yarn 4 fed from between the master roller 10 and a slave roller 11 to the buffer arm 7 is calculated on the basis of the difference in the rotational angles detected by the encoder 32. As shown in (b), the timing of measurement by the encoder 32 at which the knitting controller 33 performs stitch adjustment in the fixed arm angle mode corresponds to the inside of the knitting width.
