GS-CE380 80-Inch Economic Three System Collar Knitting Machine

·Economic Three System Single Carriage — Three-Color Jacquard at 80-Inch Width
The core technical architecture of the GS-CE380 is its Economic-Three System, Single Carriage configuration with direct needle selection. The three-system setup ensures more knitting actions per carriage pass compared to both single and double system machines, delivering significantly higher overall knitting efficiency. At 80-inch ultra-wide format, this efficiency advantage is fully amplified — each carriage pass covers a substantially greater width, and the time value of the three-system's additional actions per pass becomes even more pronounced. The result is exceptional output per unit of time, providing strong production capacity assurance for factories handling extra-wide, high-volume orders. The three-system architecture natively supports three-color jacquard knitting, achieving rich color transitions within a single carriage pass and bringing 80-inch wide collar and rib fabric pattern expression to the highest level available in its class. At a maximum speed of 1.5 m/s, the direct needle selection technology ensures short-path, fast-response, precise needle actuation that maintains outstanding selection stability under 80-inch wide three-system high-speed operation.
·80-Inch Ultra-Wide Format — Maximum Product Coverage in One Machine
At 80 inches, the GS-CE380 is the widest model in the CE series Economic Three System lineup and represents an ultra-wide benchmark configuration within the three-system collar knitting machine category. The product coverage this width enables is exceptional: the machine efficiently handles ultra-wide ribbed collars, extra-wide hood neckband ribbing, broad-format multi-color jacquard ribbed fabrics, and all manner of wide-format collar knit materials. This directly addresses the demanding requirements of plus-size apparel brands, sports casual outerwear manufacturers, and premium functional knitwear producers for extra-wide collar components and rib trim. The combination of ultra-wide format and three-system three-color jacquard capability gives the GS-CE380 a competitive advantage in the extra-wide multi-color pattern product segment that no narrower or lower-system machine can match.
·Variable Stitch Density — Premium Pattern Expression at Ultra-Wide Scale
The GS-CE380 supports a variable stitch density function that adjusts stitch length in real time, enabling density gradients and structural layering across different areas of the same piece. At 80-inch ultra-wide format, the application space for this function expands further — creating richer density transitions and three-dimensional structural effects across the broad fabric surface. Combined with three-color jacquard capability, this elevates the pattern complexity and visual expressiveness of ultra-wide collar and rib fabric products to the top tier of the industry, enabling factories to produce highly differentiated, high-value products that stand out in a competitive market.
·Multi-Stage Needle Selection Jacquard — Precise Control, Fully Replacing High-Low Needles
The machine is equipped with a multi-stage needle selection jacquard mechanism, governed by a computer-controlled 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 mechanical inconsistencies and pattern instability, significantly improving pattern repeatability and batch-to-batch consistency across 80-inch wide production. Supporting flat, transfer, tuck, and jacquard knitting functions, the machine covers the full range from plain single-color rib structures to complex three-color jacquard designs with consistent, high-quality results.
·High-Precision Insert Needle Bed — Full 80-Inch Surface Quality, Long-Term Durability
The GS-CE380 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 80-inch three-system operation, this specification ensures consistently flat, uniform fabric surfaces across the full knitting width. Engineered for long-term wear resistance and extended service life, the needle bed maintains stable knitting precision through sustained high-volume production, providing a reliable quality foundation for ultra-wide multi-color jacquard products while effectively reducing maintenance costs and quality risks.
·Upper-Lower Composite Traction System — Even Pull Across the Full 80 Inches
The upper-lower combined composite traction system is especially critical at 80-inch ultra-wide format. Upper and lower traction components work in coordination to apply smooth, even tension across the full fabric width, preventing edge curl, distortion, or dimensional variation caused by uneven tension in ultra-wide knitting. The high-position roller increases overall traction force, the thickened bottom roller further reinforces the pulling effect, and the specially designed wear-resistant leather cover ensures long-term durability — collectively guaranteeing flat, dimensionally consistent wide-collar and rib fabric products throughout three-system high-speed volume production.
·Small-Head Fully Motorized Cam — High-Speed, Sustained Reliability
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 80-inch wide three-system high-speed operation, minimizing maintenance downtime and maximizing production continuity and overall capacity utilization 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 required for three-color jacquard production across the full 80-inch knitting width. 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 at ultra-wide scale.
·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.
