Abstract
There is a description of a device for the production of warp knitted fabrics which are being produced on one knitting machine having two separate and independent knitting areas. Each of the independent knitting area has at least one guide bar and at least one needle bar. The knitting areas are placed back-to-back so that the directions of the respective material pull-offs are outwardly from the machine away from each other. The needle bars and the guide bars are supported by a common machine frame which has been provided with a common drive serving both knitting areas. Thereby, a high productivity is obtained having a minimum of space and energy requirements and a low initial investment cost.
Claims8
A warp knitting machine for the production of warp knitted fabrics having at least two independent knitting areas (1, 2) wherein each of said knitting areas includes at least one needle bar (12, 13) and at least one guide bar (6, 7) and wherein each of said knitting areas produces a fabric web and wherein said knitting areas are arranged back-to-back so that the directions of respective web pull-off are directed outwardly away from said knitting areas and wherein said needle bars (12, 13) and said guide bars (6, 7) of both knitting areas are supported in a common machine frame, wherein the improvement comprises the common machine frame (19) having a common main shaft (18) which drives both knitting areas (1, 2) over compound drives (30).
A warp knitting machine for the production of warp knitted fabrics having at least two independent knitting areas (1, 2) wherein each of said knitting areas includes at least one needle bar (12, 13) and at least one guide bar (6, 7) wherein each of said knitting areas produces a fabric web and wherein said knitting areas are arranged back-to-back so that the directions of respective web pull-off are directed outwardly away from said knitting areas and wherein said needle bars (12, 13) and said guide bars (6, 7) of both knitting areas are supported in a common machine frame, wherein the improvement comprises the common machine frame (19) having a common main shaft (18) which drives both knitting areas (1, 2) over compound drives (30), wherein the knitting areas (1, 2) are provided each with a group of warp beams (21) and a material pull-off (23, 22), wherein two warp beams (21) of a group of warp beams (21) are each driven by a common warp beam drive.
