of the variations of the knitting parameters: loop length, taking-down
and carriage speed on the knitted cloth characteristics: stitch length
and basis weight, in the two extreme relaxation cases which are the industrial
relaxation using the relaxlab and the dry relaxation. Then, we pointed
out the contribution of the Digital Stitch Control System (DSCS) made
by Shima Seiki to the knitted cloth characteristics. Results prove that
the use of DSCS reduces the number of parameters that affect the studied
fabric characteristics, which lead to a better control of the fabric quality.
The used yarn is acrylic high bulk, Nm = 15. The bonding is
the 1 and 1 rib.]]>Cortez, J.M.,200272673680Chen, Q.H., 200272463467Knapton, J.J.F.,19663610811091Knapton, J.J.F.,19663610721080Shanahan, W.J.,197040656665
