Determination of Optimum Speed of a Knitting Machine by Analyzing the Different Parameters

The objective of this research was to determine the optimum speed a knitting machine. This study compared different parameters machine running at various speeds. For this, 22-inch diameter and 24 gauge with 66 feeders Ne yarn selected run 40 rotations per minute (r.p.m.).; 42 44 (r.p.m.) for total hours each speed. Data collected two days 12 each. causes stoppages were recorded their frequencies time hours. Again, actual fabric production defective amount in kg. Moreover, problems (like needle breakage, oil problem etc.) that occurred during also recorded. Finally, efficiency speeds calculated help Considering stoppage data, efficiency, production, problems, it found is among three
