7. Circular knitting machine is widely used through out the knitting industry to produce fabric. This
machine can be built in almost any reasonable diameter. This machine can be used either as fabric or
for making garments completely with fancy stitch. Latch needles are commonly employed in all modern
circular machines because of their simple action and also their ability to process more types of yarns.

10. This is a part which is used to
contain yarn packages and ready
to feed in the machine.
Creel
11. VDQ Pulley
It is a very important part of the machine. It
controls the quality of the product. Altering
the position of the tension pulley changes
the G.S.M. of the fabric. If puley move
positive direction, then the G.S.M. is
decreased and the reverse direction G.S.M.
will increase.
12. It is a principal element of the
knitting machine. It helps the
yarn to create a loop and by this
fabrics are produced.
Needle
13. Sinker
The sinker is the second primary knitting
element. It is a thin metal plate. During
loop formation sinker is used to hold and
support the thread.
14. Cams are the devices , which convert
the rotary machine drive in to a
suitable reciprocating action for the
needles and other elements.
CAM
15. Lubricant
The lubricator provides uniform
lubrication to needles, cam tracks,
lifters and other knitting machine
components. The patented nozzle
construction separates the air-oil
mixture into air and droplets of oil.
16. Knitting is very important process in Textile
manufacturing. The circular knitting machine is very
important for knitting production. We have to know
all the parts of the machine.
