GS-CE260 60-Inch Economic Double System Collar Knitting Machine

·Economic Double System Single Carriage — Efficiency Amplified at Wide Width
The GS-CE260 adopts an Economic-Double System, Single Carriage architecture in which the double-system configuration enables more knitting actions per carriage pass, delivering significantly higher overall efficiency compared to single-system machines. In the context of 60-inch wide-format knitting, this efficiency advantage is fully amplified — each carriage pass covers a greater width, and the time value of the double-system's additional actions per pass becomes even more pronounced. The result is substantially higher output per unit of time for wide-format production, providing solid capacity assurance for factories handling large-volume wide-collar orders. At a maximum speed of 1.4 m/s, the machine maintains a stable and efficient operating rhythm across the full 60-inch knitting width.
·60-Inch Wide Knitting Width — Expanding Product Boundaries
At 60 inches, the GS-CE260 is among the widest models in the Economic Double System CE series. This broad knitting width enables efficient production of wide lapel collars, extra-wide crew neckbands, hood ribbing, and a broad range of wide-format ribbed fabrics — directly addressing the growing demand from plus-size apparel, sports casual outerwear, and functional knitwear manufacturers for wider collar components and rib trim materials. The GS-CE260 helps factories break through the product limitations of standard-width collar machines and enter a dual-production model covering both wide collars and ribbed fabric.
·Multi-Stage Needle Selection Jacquard — Precise, Efficient, Diverse
The machine is equipped with a multi-stage needle selection jacquard mechanism, governed by a computer-controlled electromagnetic needle selection system for stable, efficient operation. Supporting flat, transfer, tuck, and jacquard knitting functions, the precise multi-stage control delivers strong pattern repeatability and consistent batch-to-batch quality, enabling efficient and reliable production across the full range from plain single-color ribbed collars to complex multi-color jacquard designs — effectively broadening the factory's collar product portfolio and strengthening its market competitiveness.
·Variable Stitch Density — Richer Fabric Layering and Design Expression
The GS-CE260 supports a variable stitch density function that adjusts stitch length in real time during knitting, enabling density gradients and structural variation across different areas of the same collar or fabric piece. This creates fabric appearances with greater dimensionality, depth, and design sophistication beyond what fixed-density machines can achieve. Combined with the efficiency of the double system, this function allows factories to produce premium collar products with higher added value without sacrificing production speed — establishing meaningful product differentiation in a competitive market.
·High-Precision Insert Needle Bed — Quality Assurance Across the Full 60-Inch Width
The GS-CE260 features a high-precision needle bed with insert needles and notched sinkers, characterized by high hardness, accurate precision, and tight density. Under the high-speed demands of 60-inch double-system operation, this specification ensures consistently flat, uniform fabric surfaces across the full knitting width. The needle bed is engineered for long-term wear resistance and extended service life, maintaining precise knitting performance through sustained high-volume production and effectively reducing the quality risks and maintenance frequency associated with needle bed wear — providing a reliable foundation for the consistency of wide-collar and ribbed fabric products.
·Upper-Lower Composite Traction System — Smooth, Even Pull Across 60 Inches
The upper-lower combined composite traction system is especially important at 60-inch width. Upper and lower traction components work in coordination to apply smooth, even tension across the full fabric width, preventing edge curl, twisting, or dimensional variation caused by uneven tension in wide-format knitting. The stepping motor–controlled take-down roller provides 128 levels of tension selection across an adjustable range of 0–100, precisely adapting to yarns of different weights and elasticity — guaranteeing flat, dimensionally consistent collar and rib fabrics throughout double-system high-speed volume production.
·2×8 Yarn Carrier System — Full Color-Change Flexibility
The 2×8 yarn carrier configuration — mounted on both sides of 4 guide rails — allows yarn switching at any needle position across the full 60-inch width, providing the operational flexibility required for multi-color jacquard production at wide format. This ensures multi-color pattern transitions are executed with precision and fluency, fully realizing the combined potential of the double system and variable stitch density capabilities.
·Intelligent Control & Comprehensive Protection
The control system features an LCD display with USB input and 256MB of onboard memory for storing extensive design file libraries. The interface supports Chinese, English, and other languages, with all operating parameters viewable and adjustable in real time during machine operation. The protection system automatically triggers alarms upon detecting yarn breakage, knotting, float yarn, rewinding faults, end-of-knitting signals, racking failure, needle breakage, or programming errors — comprehensively protecting both machine and operator. The machine operates on 220V single-phase power with a power-off memory function to safeguard production data against unexpected interruptions.
