Abstract (en)

There are provided a tension measuring device for a flat knitting machine and a tension measuring method for the same, with which tension of a yarn can be measured in such a manner that measured tension substantially accurately represents tension of the yarn to be knitted into fabric at a position after the yarn passes through a yarn feeding port so that problems can be prevented from occurring to the fabric due to abnormal tension of the yarn. In a flat knitting machine configured such that a yarn 20 is fed to needles via a feed path 2 with tension being applied to the yarn 20, a yarn drawing-in means 51 draws the yarn 20 being in a ready-for-knitting state, at a position after the yarn 20 passes through a yarn feeding port 153, into a measurement path 24 that is different from the feed path 2 to the needles. Subsequently, a measuring means 52 measures tension of the yarn 20 drawn into the measurement path 24 without performing knitting, and the tension of the yarn 20 measured at a position after the yarn feeding port 153 is displayed on a monitor 53.
