(57) A controlling method and apparatus for a flat knitting machine positions, prior to
starting of knitting, a knitting member (12, 16) with respect to a position setting
member (54, 60, 62, 80, 82) arranged on a moving path of the knitting member (12,
16), determines, in this condition, a reference position of a knitting member moving
motor (14, 20) based on an operation position of the motor (14, 20), performs, during
not knitting after starting of knitting, the positioning again and detects an actual
moving amount of the motor (14, 20) from the reference position (msg), and determines
a later variation of the position of the knitting member (12, 16) corresponding to
the momentum from the reference position (msg) on a result of the detection of the
moving amount. This prevents deterioration in quality of a knit fabric arising from
accumulation of fly waste, inappropriate operation of the knitting member, displacement
in detected position and so forth.
