GS-CE340 40-Inch Economic Three System Collar Knitting Machine

·Economic Three System Single Carriage — Three-Color Jacquard, Superior Efficiency
The defining technical strength of the GS-CE340 is its Economic-Three System, Single Carriage architecture. The three-system configuration enables more knitting actions per carriage pass than both single and double system machines, delivering a significant step up in overall knitting efficiency and effective output per unit of time. Most notably, the three-system design natively supports three-color jacquard knitting — achieving richer color transitions and more complex pattern variations within a single carriage pass, pushing collar product design expressiveness far beyond what single-color and dual-color jacquard machines can offer. This directly addresses the growing demand from fashion knitwear brands for multi-color, pattern-rich collar components. At a maximum speed of 1.5 m/s, the three-system advantage in production throughput is fully realized. The direct needle selection technology ensures precise, short-path, fast-response needle actuation that further reinforces knitting stability and consistency under three-system high-speed operation.
·Variable Stitch Density — Richer Fabric Layering, Higher Product Value
The GS-CE340 supports a variable stitch density function that adjusts stitch length in real time during the knitting process, enabling density gradients and structural transitions across different areas of the same collar piece. This creates fabric appearances with greater three-dimensionality, layering depth, and visual richness that fixed-density machines cannot replicate. When combined with the three-system three-color jacquard capability, this function enables the production of premium collar products that integrate both structural variation and multi-color pattern expression — helping factories establish meaningful product differentiation, significantly increase product added value, and extend their reach into higher-end market segments without a proportional increase in production cost.
·Multi-Stage Needle Selection Jacquard — Replacing High-Low Needles, Precise and Stable
The machine is equipped with a multi-stage needle selection jacquard mechanism, controlled with precision by a computer-driven electromagnetic needle selection system that automatically produces a wide variety of collar patterns — completely replacing the high-and-low needle approach of traditional collar machines. The precise multi-stage control eliminates the mechanical inconsistencies, pattern instability, and frequent adjustment stops inherent in the high-low needle system, delivering a significant improvement in pattern accuracy, batch-to-batch consistency, and overall production stability. Supporting flat, transfer, tuck, and jacquard knitting functions, the machine covers the full spectrum from plain single-color ribbed collars to complex multi-color jacquard designs, effectively broadening the factory's product line and market coverage.
·High-Precision Insert Needle Bed — Flat Surface, Long-Term Reliability
The GS-CE340 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 three-system operation, this specification ensures consistently flat, uniform fabric surfaces, maintaining quality standards throughout sustained high-volume production. The needle bed is engineered for long-term wear resistance and extended service life, effectively reducing the quality risks and maintenance costs associated with needle bed wear and providing a reliable foundation for the consistency of all multi-color jacquard collar products.
·Upper-Lower Composite Traction System — Smooth, Distortion-Free Pull
The upper-lower combined composite traction system deploys upper and lower traction components in coordination to achieve smooth, even tension across the full 40-inch fabric width, preventing edge curl, twisting, or dimensional variation caused by uneven tension under three-system high-speed conditions. The high-position roller increases overall traction force, the thickened lower roller further reinforces the pulling effect, and the specially formulated wear-resistant roller cover ensures long-term durability — collectively guaranteeing flat, dimensionally consistent collar fabrics across all yarn weights and elasticity levels throughout volume production.
·Small-Head Fully Motorized Cam — Compact, Efficient, Reliable
The machine is fitted with a compact small-head fully motorized cam system with motor-driven cam actuation for precise, rapid response. This design maintains exceptional action accuracy and sustained reliability under continuous three-system high-speed knitting demands, minimizing downtime caused by mechanical adjustment and maximizing production continuity and overall efficiency across extended production shifts.
·2×8 Yarn Carrier System — Full Support for Three-Color Jacquard
The 2×8 yarn carrier configuration — mounted on both sides of 4 guide rails — allows yarn changes at any needle position, providing the operational flexibility needed for three-color jacquard production. This ensures complex multi-color pattern transitions are executed with precision and fluency, fully realizing the combined potential of the three-system architecture and variable stitch density function.
·Precision Control & Comprehensive Protection
Stitch density is stepping motor–controlled with 128 (32) selectable levels across a range of 0–650. The take-down roller provides 128 levels of tension control from 0–100. Racking is driven by AC servo motor with a 2-inch range and fine-tuning capability, and the synchronous belt drive with servo motor control ensures smooth, stable operation. The control system features an LCD display with USB input and 256MB memory, supporting Chinese, English, and other languages, with all parameters adjustable in real time during machine operation. The protection system automatically alerts and halts the machine upon detecting yarn breakage, float yarn, rewinding faults, racking failure, needle collision, safety door events, or programming errors. The machine operates on 220V single-phase power with a power-off memory function to protect production data against unexpected interruptions.
