Question 2: Mention the functions of the following machine parts

Positive feeder
1-

Needle cam
2-

VDQ (variable
3-
diameter for quality)

Question 3: Match the following:


Total no. of needles in a machine A- Number of needles per 1 inch.
1 No of courses determines B- no. of needles in machine
2 Stitch length C- n x feeders x total no. of needles.
3 Number of wales determines D- the length of fabrics
4 No. of courses in 1 machine revolution = E- Total no. of loops in 1 course x Loop length
5 Total no. of loops for n rev = F- Length of yarn in loop
6 No. of loops in course = G- number of feeders
7 Course length= H- the width of fabric
Gauge I- 3.142 x machine cylinder diameter x gauge

Question 4: Solve the following problems


1- A knitting machine is running at a speed of 30 rpm with 36 feeders. Calculate the total no. of courses
produced in 1 hr.

2- Find out the total number of needles in a machine having cylinder diameter of 24” and 28gauge.

3- Find the approximate circumference of fabric and WPI in a knitted fabric having 22 gauge, 28 inch
diameter (assume fabric shrinkage is 30%)
