GS-CE152 52-Inch Single System Collar Knitting Machine

·52-Inch Wide Knitting Width — The Professional Choice for Wider Ribbed Collars
The defining specification of the GS-CE152 is its 52-inch wide knitting bed, a significant upgrade from the standard 40-inch format. This extended width allows the machine to complete wider collar pieces in a single pass, making it well-suited for wide-format lapel collars, oversized crew necks, hood neckbands, and broad ribbed collar fabrics of all types. Whether meeting the specific width requirements of mid-to-high-end garment brands, producing collar components for plus-size clothing lines, or fulfilling specialized orders for wide-format ribbed trim, the GS-CE152 handles the full scope of wide collar production with consistent quality and efficiency.
·Eight-Piece Needle Selection — Fully Replacing Traditional High-Low Needles
The machine employs an eight-piece needle selection mechanism, computer-controlled to automatically produce a wide variety of collar patterns — completely replacing the high-and-low needle system that traditional collar machines depend upon for pattern variation. This advancement eliminates the mechanical inconsistencies and frequent manual adjustments inherent in the high-low needle approach, delivering a significant improvement in pattern accuracy and repeatability. The multi-stage needle selection jacquard function further expands pattern diversity, enabling the machine to handle everything from plain single-color ribbed collars to complex multi-color jacquard designs with equal precision.
·High-Precision Insert Needle Bed — Flat Fabric Surface, Long Service Life
The GS-CE152 is equipped with a high-precision needle bed featuring insert needles and sinkers, characterized by high hardness, accurate precision, and tight density. This specification ensures consistently flat, uniform fabric surfaces even across the full 52-inch knitting width. The needle bed material is engineered for long-term wear resistance and extended service life, maintaining precise knitting performance through sustained high-volume production and protecting finished collar quality against the gradual degradation that worn needle beds can cause.
·Small-Head Fully Motorized Cam — Stable, Reliable, High-Speed
The machine is equipped with a compact small-head fully motorized cam system that delivers stable, reliable performance across all production conditions. At a maximum speed of 1.5 m/s, the GS-CE152 maintains strong output across the full 52-inch knitting width, ensuring efficient throughput for volume collar orders. The fully motorized cam design enables precise, rapid cam actuation with minimal mechanical adjustment downtime, supporting continuous, uninterrupted production.
·Upper-Lower Composite Traction System — Even Pull Across the Full Width
The upper-lower combined composite traction system is particularly important at 52-inch width. Upper and lower traction components work together to apply even, consistent tension across the entire width of the fabric, preventing the edge curl, twisting, or dimensional variation that uneven single-sided tension can cause in wide-format knitting. The thickened lower roller provides increased traction force, while the specially formulated wear-resistant roller cover ensures long-term durability — guaranteeing that wide ribbed collars emerge flat, consistent, and dimensionally accurate across every production run.
·High-Position Roller — Automatic Cast-On at Any Time
The high-position roller system enables automatic cast-on without any manual fabric covering, allowing operators to load new products and switch designs at any time with minimal preparation. This feature is especially valuable on a 52-inch wide machine, where manual fabric covering would be significantly more cumbersome than on narrower models. By eliminating this step entirely, the GS-CE152 reduces changeover time, lowers operator skill requirements, and improves the production line's responsiveness to new orders and design changes.
·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 fine high-count fabrics. The 52-inch knitting width fully accommodates wide collar production requirements. Knitting functions include flat, transfer, tuck, and jacquard. 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 across the full knitting width.
·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 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.
