METHOD OF CASTING ON LOOPS OF KNITTED FABRIC AND DEVICE FOR ITS IMPLEMENTATION Russian patent published in 2015 - IPC D04B39/00 

FIELD: textiles, paper.

SUBSTANCE: method of casting on loops comprises placement of the thread (5) between the guide elements (2, 3, 4), and implementation of the translational and rotational movements of at least one knitting tool (8) by the controlled manipulator (7). The manipulator has three translational degrees of freedom and two rotational degrees of freedom relative to the axes which do not coincide with the axis of the knitting tool (8). At that the movements are carried out with the gripping of thread (5) by the knitting tool (8) and forming loops according to the loop formation algorithm. The device for implementing the method comprises a base (1) on which at least two guide elements (2, 3, 4) are mounted, as well as the tension mechanism (6) of the thread (5), at least one said spatial manipulator (7) with the gripping unit for the knitting tool (8), a control system (9) of the manipulator.

EFFECT: providing the automation of the process of casting on the loops of the first row, increase in the rate of loop formation, increase in universality and enhancing the technological capabilities of the method and the device.
