GS-RW372 10.2G 72-Inch Three System Ready-to-Wear Computerized Flat Knitting Machine

·The Ready-to-Wear Philosophy — One-Step Garment Production, Time-Saving and Efficient
The fundamental value of the GS-RW372 lies in enabling fully fashioned one-step garment production. In conventional knitwear factories, front panels, back panels, and sleeves are knitted separately and then joined through cutting, linking, and sewing — a multi-step process requiring significant labor, time, and material. The fully fashioned approach consolidates all process sheets into a single pattern file, and the machine continuously completes the knitting of an entire sweater garment in one operation, with the finished fabric requiring minimal additional processing before it becomes a wearable garment. This revolutionary production model delivers three core advantages: significantly reduced labor and time costs in downstream processing, elimination of cutting waste and reduced material loss, and improved overall garment quality and structural consistency — enabling factories to simultaneously elevate product quality and reduce production costs.
·Three-System Single Carriage — High-Efficiency Power for Ready-to-Wear Knitting
The GS-RW372 adopts a Three System, Single Carriage architecture in which the three-system configuration enables more knitting actions per carriage pass — particularly critical in the fully fashioned application where long knitting sequences and high pattern complexity place the greatest demands on efficiency. The three-system efficiency advantage accumulates across the extended continuous knitting cycles of fully fashioned garments, meaningfully shortening the knitting cycle per piece and directly increasing the factory's ready-to-wear production output. The small-head fully motorized cam system enables high-speed carriage rotation with stable reliability, reaching a maximum speed of 1.5 m/s.
·72-Inch Ultra-Wide Format — Full-Size Coverage for Ready-to-Wear Production
The standard 72-inch knitting width — with optional configurations of 40, 60, and 80 inches — is of particular significance in the fully fashioned context. Ready-to-wear knitting requires the front and back panels to be knitted simultaneously across the full width of the needle bed; a wider bed provides the necessary space for fully fashioned production of larger garment sizes. The GS-RW372's 72-inch width enables full-size coverage from standard to extra-large ready-to-wear sweaters, meeting the growing market demand for plus-size fully fashioned knitwear.
·Gauge Range — Optimized for Ready-to-Wear Knitting
Five gauge options — 5.2G, 6.2G, 7.2G, 9.2G, and 10.2G — are carefully selected to address the specific requirements of fully fashioned sweater knitting in terms of fabric structure, density transition, and three-dimensional shaping precision. This gauge range covers the mainstream categories of fully fashioned garments from medium-weight to fine-gauge knits, ensuring structural stability and shaping accuracy throughout the fully fashioned knitting process.
·Multi-Station Sinker System — Technical Foundation for Complex Ready-to-Wear Patterns
The GS-RW372 is equipped with a multi-station sinker system that provides essential technical support for fully fashioned knitting. Ready-to-wear sweater production involves extensive needle transfer, fashioning, widening, and reverse yarn addition operations — complex structural changes that place significant demands on yarn control. Multi-station sinkers provide precise yarn holding and guidance at multiple positions simultaneously, effectively managing yarn tension and loop formation throughout complex pattern sequences. This significantly expands the range of achievable pattern types and ensures the stable execution of three-dimensional structures and one-piece forming techniques, serving as a core technical enabler for high-quality complex ready-to-wear products.
·Stepless Adjustable Take-Down System — Perfect Assistance for Complex Fully Fashioned Patterns
The GS-RW372 features a stepless adjustable take-down system that allows take-down tension to be adjusted continuously across an infinite range — not limited to fixed steps. During fully fashioned knitting, different zones of the garment (neckline, cuffs, body panels, fashioning zones) require significantly different take-down forces. The stepless design allows operators to set the optimal take-down parameters for each specific phase of the knitting process with precision, effectively assisting the smooth execution of complex fully fashioned patterns and preventing fabric deformation, fashioning errors, or needle drop caused by inappropriate tension — ensuring consistent quality throughout the entire ready-to-wear knitting cycle from cast-on to completion.
·Comprehensive Knitting Functions — Full Technical Coverage for Ready-to-Wear Production
Supporting flat, transfer, tuck, miss, jacquard, and reverse yarn addition, the machine covers all knitting techniques required for ready-to-wear production. Reverse yarn addition support enables fully fashioned knitting of double-faced jacquard and plating fabrics, significantly expanding the pattern expression range and material combination possibilities of ready-to-wear products — an important technical capability for differentiating high-end fully fashioned garments in the market.
·16-Carrier Yarn System — Full Support for Multi-Color Ready-to-Wear Patterns
The 16-carrier yarn system — mounted on both sides of 4 guide rails — allows yarn changes at any needle position, providing the operational flexibility required for multi-color jacquard and plating in fully fashioned production, supporting the efficient and stable production of color-rich, pattern-complex premium ready-to-wear knitwear.
·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.
