Experiment No: 08 Date:21st July, 2014

Experiment Name: Study on Feed System of a Knitting Machine.

There are two method of yarn feeding . Yarn feeding involves either moving the yarn past the needles or moving the needle past a stationary yarn feed position.

Feed system on knitting machine are two types—

1.Positive Feed System

2.Negative Feed system

Positive Feed System:

1) This Process of feed system has additional yarn storage system.

2)This system is spend more time than negative feed system.

3)The machine mechanism is not much easier than negative feed system.

Figure : Positive feed system.

Negative Feed System:

1) This process of feed system has no additional yarn storage system.

2)This system is spend not much time than positive feed system.

3)The machione mechanism is easier than positive feed system.

Figure: Negative feed system

Our lab machine is positive feed system, because this knitting machine has a additional yarn storage system.
