What is Cam? About Cams

Definition and function of knitting machine accessories Cam
What is Cam? It usually refers to a group of irregularly shaped metal parts installed in other locations such as the wall and top of the needle cylinder of the knitting machine. The main function of these Cams is to guide the knitting needles to move along a predetermined trajectory to complete the knitting process of the fabric. The shape, track, angle and precision of the triangle are specially designed to ensure that the knitting needles can work accurately and stably.

Advantages of high-quality Cams for knitting machine accessories

1. Improve knitting efficiency: Through precise tracks and special processing, high-quality Cams can reduce the friction and resistance of knitting needles during knitting, thereby improving knitting speed and efficiency, reducing needle wear and saving electricity. This is especially important for companies that need to produce fabrics in large quantities.
2. Improve fabric quality: The accuracy and surface treatment of Cams will directly affect the quality indicators of fabrics such as density, uniformity and elasticity. High-quality Cams can ensure that the knitting needles maintain a stable spacing and smooth movement trajectory during the knitting process, avoiding situations such as needle collisions; thereby producing high-quality fabrics.
3. Application in special advanced knitting processes: Different knitting processes require different types of Cams. For example, processes such as plain weaving, rib weaving and jacquard weaving all require high-quality Cams of specific shapes, angles and trajectories to guide the movement of the knitting needles. Therefore, choosing high-quality Cams provides a wide range of process adaptability for knitting machines.

Conclusion
As the core component of large circular knitting machines, the performance and quality of Cams are directly related to the operating efficiency of the entire machine and the quality of the finished fabric. With the continuous development of textile technology, the design and manufacturing of Cans will continue to improve to meet higher performance knitting needs and more stringent quality standards.
