Addressing Arc-shaped Fabric in Circular Knitting Machines: Causes, Impact, and Solutions
Introduction Arc-shaped fabric is a common issue encountered in circular knitting processes. This type of fabric, where one side is tight while the other is loose, disrupts the smooth winding of fabric rolls, causing several challenges in subsequent processes such as cutting, coating, and printing. The fabric takes on a distinctive fan-shaped or arc-shaped appearance when unwound and laid flat, as the side with looser yarns forms the outer arc, while the side with tighter yarns forms the inner arc....
