GS-CE140 40-Inch Single System Collar Knitting Machine

·Eight-Piece Needle Selection — Eliminating High-Low Needles Once and For All
The defining technical breakthrough of the GS-CE140 is its eight-piece needle selection mechanism, controlled with precision by the computer system to automatically weave a wide variety of collar patterns. This design fundamentally eliminates the high-and-low needle mechanism that traditional collar machines rely on for pattern variation — a legacy technology prone to mechanical inconsistency and time-consuming adjustment. By replacing it with computer-controlled multi-stage needle selection, the GS-CE140 achieves a new level of pattern accuracy and consistency, while the multi-stage jacquard function significantly expands pattern diversity, enabling the machine to handle everything from basic ribbed collars to complex multi-color jacquard designs.
·High-Precision Insert Needle Bed — The Foundation of Fabric Quality
The machine is equipped with a high-precision needle bed featuring insert needles and sinkers, characterized by high hardness, accurate precision, and tight density. This engineering ensures knitted fabric surfaces are flatter, more uniform, and more durable than those produced on conventional machines. The needle bed is specifically designed for long-term wear resistance and extended service life, maintaining consistent knitting precision through sustained high-volume production and effectively reducing the risk of fabric quality degradation caused by needle bed wear over time.
·Upper-Lower Composite Traction System — Smooth, Distortion-Free Fabric Pull
The GS-CE140 features an upper-lower combined composite traction system, in which upper and lower traction components work in concert to deliver smooth, even fabric pull throughout the knitting process. A thickened lower roller provides greater traction force, while the specially formulated wear-resistant roller cover ensures long-term durability. Together, these elements maintain consistent fabric tension across collar fabrics of all weights and elasticity levels, preventing twisting or dimensional distortion and ensuring finished collars meet strict appearance and size consistency standards.
·High-Position Roller — Automatic Cast-On Without Fabric Covering
The machine is fitted with a high-position roller system that enables automatic cast-on without the need for manual fabric covering. Operators can load new products and switch designs at any time with ease, eliminating the time-consuming manual setup steps required by traditional machines. This feature significantly reduces changeover preparation time, lowers the skill threshold for operators, and improves machine utilization efficiency — making it particularly well-suited to flexible production environments that handle multiple collar styles, small batch sizes, and frequent design changes.
·Small-Head Fully Motorized Cam — Stable, Reliable, High-Speed
The machine is equipped with a compact small-head fully motorized cam system that combines stability and reliability with high-speed performance. At a maximum knitting speed of 1.5 m/s, the GS-CE140 delivers strong output while maintaining the precision required for quality collar production. The single system single carriage architecture is clean and efficient, ideally suited to the specialized, precision-focused demands of dedicated collar knitting operations.
·Specialized for Single Ribbed Collar Production
The GS-CE140 is optimized for the production of single ribbed collars, efficiently completing crew neck, V-neck, lapel, and other collar types in ribbed construction. Supporting flat, transfer, tuck, and jacquard knitting functions, the machine handles the full range of collar products from plain single-color designs to multi-color jacquard patterns.
·Gauge Range & Yarn Carrier System
Five gauge options are available — 12G, 14G, 16G, 18G, and 20G — covering the mainstream collar product range from mid-count to high-count fine fabrics. The 40-inch knitting width is well matched to the dimensional requirements of collar production. The 2×6 yarn carrier configuration, mounted on both sides of 3 guide rails, allows yarn changes at any needle position, providing the flexibility needed for multi-color jacquard collar production.
·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 machine 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 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.
