GS-S352Z 52-Inch Three System No-Waste-Yarn Bottom-Up Sweater Knitting Machine

·Three-System Single Carriage — The Engine of High Productivity
The GS-S352Z is built around a three-system single carriage architecture, completing more knitting actions per carriage pass than any double system machine. Driven by a synchronous belt and AC servo motor control system for smooth, rapid operation, the machine reaches a maximum speed of 1.4 m/s. The three-system configuration delivers substantially higher effective output per unit of time compared to equivalent double system machines — a decisive advantage for factories handling large-volume orders where every minute of machine time directly impacts profitability.
·Extensive Gauge Coverage
Twelve gauge options are available — 3-5-7G, 5G, 6G, 7G, 8G, 9G, 10G, 12G, 13G, 14G, 15G, and 16G — spanning the full range from heavy chunky knitwear to ultra-fine 16G high-count fashion knits. The standard 52-inch knitting width covers the majority of mainstream knitwear product dimensions, ensuring broad applicability across product categories.
·Core Innovation: Steel Wire No-Waste-Yarn Comb
The defining breakthrough of the GS-S352Z is its steel wire no-waste-yarn comb system. Unlike conventional machines that require one or more rows of waste yarn to initiate the cast-on, this system lifts the comb and begins knitting directly — completely eliminating the time and yarn consumed by the waste yarn process. When used together with the scissor-and-clamp system, individual fabric pieces drop automatically upon completion, with no need for workers to manually remove waste yarn between pieces. This delivers a dual advantage in large-scale production: direct yarn cost savings on every single piece, and significant reduction in manual intervention throughout the production cycle. Compared to the compound needle variant in the same series (GS-S352C), the GS-S352Z takes the no-waste-yarn concept to its fullest extent, making it the preferred choice for factories where raw material cost efficiency is a top priority.
·Six-Motor Independent Scissor-and-Clamp System
The GS-S352Z is equipped with 2 scissors and 4 clamps, each driven by its own dedicated motor — 6 motors in total — positioned independently on both sides of the needle bed. All components can be programmed to operate synchronously or independently, precisely coordinating with different pattern types and production rhythms. This configuration minimizes yarn waste at every stage of the process while significantly boosting overall work efficiency, representing the highest level of automated scissor-and-clamp control across the entire product range.
·Comprehensive Knitting Functions
Supporting transfer, tuck, miss, jacquard, intarsia, hide shaping, and apparent shaping, the GS-S352Z handles the complete spectrum of professional flat knitting techniques. From basic fabric structures to complex three-dimensional patterns, multi-color jacquards, intarsia colorwork, and fully fashioned shaped garments, the machine delivers consistent, high-quality results across fashion, sportswear, and functional knitwear product categories.
·Precision Stitch Density & Take-Down Control
Stitch density is controlled by a stepping motor with 128 selectable levels and an adjustable range of 0–650 via subdivision technology, ensuring exceptional fabric uniformity across sustained high-volume production. The take-down roller system, also stepping motor–driven, provides 128 levels of tension control across a range of 0–100, precisely adapting to yarns of different weights and elasticity to maintain consistent fabric tension and prevent dimensional variation.
·Yarn Carrier System & Sinker Assist
The 2×8 yarn carrier configuration — mounted on both sides of 4 guide rails — enables yarn changes at any needle position, providing maximum flexibility for multi-color jacquard and intarsia production. The sinker system provides auxiliary knitting support with stepping motor control, adjustable to suit the characteristics of different fabrics, further enhancing fabric formation quality and surface consistency.
·Intelligent Control & Comprehensive Protection
The control system features an LCD display with USB input and 256MB of onboard memory for storing extensive design libraries. The multi-language interface supports Chinese, English, and other languages, with all operating parameters viewable and adjustable in real time while the machine is running — intuitive enough for operators at all skill levels to master quickly. The protection system automatically triggers alarms upon detecting yarn breakage, knotting, float yarn, rewinding faults, end-of-knitting signals, racking failure, needle breakage, safety sensor events, or programming errors, providing comprehensive protection for both machine and operator. The machine operates on a standard 220V single-phase power supply with a power-off memory function to safeguard production data and workflow state against unexpected power interruptions.
