GS-C380 80-Inch Three System Full-Function Collar Knitting Machine

·Three-System Single Carriage — Perfect Unity of Efficiency and Full Function at Ultra-Wide Scale
The core competitive strength of the GS-C380 lies in the deep integration of a three-system single carriage architecture with comprehensive full-function knitting capability. The three-system configuration enables more knitting actions per carriage pass than single and double system machines, delivering significantly higher overall efficiency. At a maximum speed of 1.4 m/s, the machine maintains strong output performance across the full 80-inch knitting width, with the three-system's throughput advantage fully amplified in ultra-wide format operation. The Full-Function C series' complete knitting support simultaneously enables the machine to handle transfer, tuck, miss, jacquard, intarsia, hide shaping, and apparent shaping — all pattern types — achieving the perfect combination of three-system efficiency and full-function versatility at ultra-wide scale. This makes the GS-C380 the definitive choice for factories with the highest demands for both product category coverage and knitting technique depth.
·80-Inch Ultra-Wide Format — Maximum Width in the Full-Function C Series
At 80 inches, the GS-C380 is the widest model in the Full-Function C series. This ultra-wide configuration enables efficient production of extra-wide ribbed collars, extra-wide hood neckband ribbing, broad-format multi-color jacquard and intarsia ribbed fabrics, and all manner of oversized collar knit materials — comprehensively meeting the demands of plus-size apparel brands, sports casual outerwear manufacturers, and premium functional knitwear producers for ultra-wide collar components and rib trim. Combined with the three-system full-function knitting advantage, the GS-C380 achieves a competitive position in the ultra-wide complex-pattern product segment that no other machine can match, making it the strategic equipment of choice for factories seeking to break through product specification limits and enter the top-tier collar product market.
·Sinker System with Stepping Motor Control — Precision-Adjustable for Superior Fabric Quality
The GS-C380 is equipped with a stepping motor–controlled sinker system capable of arbitrary precision adjustment according to different fabric characteristics, enabling precise control over various shaping and stopping effects. This represents a significant advantage over fixed sinker designs — under the demanding conditions of 80-inch ultra-wide three-system high-speed operation, the stepping motor–controlled sinkers can optimize auxiliary knitting parameters in real time for different yarn materials and pattern structures. This effectively enhances fabric formation quality and surface uniformity, and is especially critical in high-complexity techniques such as intarsia and needle transfer — ensuring quality consistency and appearance stability across all ultra-wide full-function products in batch production.
·Comprehensive Knitting Functions — Including Hide and Apparent Shaping
The full-function knitting coverage of the GS-C380 is an important differentiator from other machines of the same specification. Beyond the standard transfer, tuck, miss, jacquard, and intarsia, the machine fully supports hide shaping and apparent shaping — enabling the production of premium collar products with fully fashioned shaping structures. This significantly extends the range of product types achievable at ultra-wide format and provides the equipment foundation for factories seeking to expand into fully fashioned collar product categories.
·High-Position Roller — Automatic Cast-On Without Fabric Covering
The high-position leather roller system enables fully automatic cast-on without manual fabric covering, allowing operators to load new products and switch designs at any time with ease. On an 80-inch machine, this feature is especially impactful — avoiding the extremely time-consuming and labor-intensive process of manual fabric covering at such a wide format. It significantly reduces changeover preparation time, lowers worker labor intensity, and improves production line responsiveness across every shift. The thickened lower roller increases traction force, and the specially formulated wear-resistant roller cover ensures long-term durability for consistent traction stability across ultra-wide format products.
·Upper-Lower Composite Traction System — Smooth, 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, twisting, or dimensional variation caused by uneven tension — guaranteeing flat, dimensionally consistent products across all pattern types throughout three-system high-speed batch production.
·2×8 Yarn Carrier System — Full Support for Ultra-Wide Multi-Color Production
The 2×8 yarn carrier configuration — mounted on both sides of 4 guide rails — allows yarn switching at any needle position, providing the operational flexibility required for multi-color jacquard and intarsia production across the full 80-inch knitting width, ensuring complex multi-color pattern transitions are executed with precision and fluency at ultra-wide scale.
·Precision Control & Comprehensive Protection
Stitch density is stepping motor–controlled with 128 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 triggers alarms upon detecting yarn breakage, knotting, float yarn, rewinding faults, end-of-knitting signals, racking failure, needle breakage, or programming errors. The machine operates on 220V single-phase power with a power-off memory function to protect production data against unexpected interruptions.
