The following pictures demonstrate the process of matching a yarn dyed knitted fabric.

The preparation part prior to the real spreading and matching consists of the following steps:

  • measuring the fabric, i.e.:
    • fabric width
    • repeat of the fabric
    • inclination of the fabric
  • calculating the start parameters for marker making in the VEITH PinIT software
  • marker making using a professional CAD software
  • importing the marker data into VEITH PinIT
  • planning the needle bar positions in PinIT — this step will synchronize the marker data, the fabric repeat and the needle bar positions
  • printing the report with all relevant data for setting up the VEITH Pin Table
  • setting the needle bars according to the positions shown in the PinIT report
  • before the real spreading of fabric can start, a piece of underlay paper needs to be put on the pin table

Process Steps

Spreading knitted fabric on VEITH Pin Table

1. Spreading and Matching

  • Spreading knitted fabric on a VEITH Pin Table. Spreading and matching by pinning is a combined work step.
Cutting the end of the fabric ply

2. Cutting the End

  • After spreading, each ply will be cut at the end
  • in case of piquet fabric (0° inclination) the VEITH Cutting Device can be used
  • else a classic end cutter from a 3rd party can be used, we supply a special adapter for this kind of end cutters
  • or else by hand
Securing the lay package with VEITH Needle Plates

3. Securing the Lay Package

  • Before moving the finished lay to cutting, it is fixed with help of the VEITH Needle Plates
Cutting the lay package on an automatic cutter

4. Cutting on Cutter

  • In our example the lay package is cut on an automatic cutter.
The result — immediate net cut

5. The Result

  • no panel cutting
  • no blocking
  • no relaying
  • JUST IMMEDIATE NET CUT

AND

  • SAVE FABRIC
Alternative — manual cutting of the lay package

6. Alternative — Cutting Manual

  • Manual cutting of the lays is of course also possible.

BUT AGAIN

  • no panel cutting
  • no blocking
  • no relaying
  • JUST IMMEDIATE NET CUT

AND

  • SAVE FABRIC
