GS-SA352C 52-Inch Three System Intelligent Yarn Feeder Sweater Knitting Machine

·Core Innovation: Intelligent Yarn Feeder System — Freedom from the Carriage
The most transformative breakthrough of the GS-SA352C is its intelligent yarn feeder system: 16 yarn feeders are each driven by their own independent servo motor, capable of moving freely in the horizontal direction — completely liberated from the physical constraint of traditional carriage-linked yarn feeding. High-precision encoder feedback control ensures each yarn feeder stops accurately at its preset position and coordinates seamlessly with the carriage needle output. The entire system operates on closed-loop control to optimize the yarn feeding process at every moment. This architecture enables the machine to realistically produce complex multi-color fabric structures including intarsia, partial jacquard, multi-color intarsia, and reverse yarn addition — improving pattern knitting efficiency by up to 75%, reducing empty carriage passes, and boosting overall knitting efficiency by more than 20–50%. The result is a fundamental expansion of the product range and business scope available to knitwear manufacturers.
·Double Racking Design — 50% Faster Needle Bed Movement
The GS-SA352C features an innovative double racking design that allows the front and back needle beds to operate simultaneously, eliminating the carriage waiting time that conventional single-racking machines require during bed movement. With a free movement range of 2 inches, the racking speed is improved by 50% compared to traditional designs. In complex pattern knitting that demands frequent racking actions, this advantage translates directly into measurable efficiency gains and higher output per shift.
·Dynamic Stitch Density — A New Dimension of Fabric Diversity
The machine is equipped with a dynamic stitch density function, controlled by a power motor that enables multiple density levels to be woven within a single row. A 1mm dynamic density value change can be completed within a 4mm range, with independent fine-tuning available for both sides of the fabric. This capability allows the density to vary within a single row, creating rich textural variation and three-dimensional visual effects that open entirely new design possibilities for fashion knitwear — a feature that conventional fixed-density machines simply cannot replicate.
·Steel Wire No-Waste-Yarn Comb — Saving Time, Labor, and Material
The GS-SA352C is fitted with a steel wire no-waste-yarn comb that initiates knitting directly without requiring any waste yarn, eliminating both the time and the yarn consumed by traditional cast-on processes. When combined with the scissor-and-clamp system, individual fabric pieces drop automatically upon completion, removing the need for workers to manually pull waste yarn between pieces. This allows one operator to manage more machines simultaneously, reduces raw material costs on every piece, and lowers worker labor intensity — delivering compounding savings in time, labor, and yarn cost across every production run.
·Three-System 5.2-Inch Fully Motorized Cam
The three-system knitting platform is equipped with a 5.2-inch small carriage fully motorized cam with a deeply optimized cam structure. Real-time position feedback from each motor ensures more stable actuation and more efficient knitting across all pattern types. The three-system architecture delivers more knitting actions per carriage pass, and together with the servo-driven synchronous belt transmission, the machine runs smoothly and responsively at a maximum speed of 1.4 m/s — with overall effective output substantially exceeding that of double system machines.
·Gauge Range & Knitting Width
Twelve gauge options are supported — 3G, 3.5G, 5G, 6G, 7G, 8G, 9G, 10G, 12G, 13G, 14G, and 16G — covering the full spectrum from chunky heavyweight knitwear to fine 16G fashion fabrics. Knitting widths of 46, 52, 60, 80, and 100 inches are available, with the 100-inch configuration opening up efficient production of oversized garments, wide home textile knits, and specialty industrial knitted materials that standard-width machines cannot accommodate.
·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 adjustment from 0–100. Racking is controlled by AC servo motor with a 2-inch range and fine-tuning capability. 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, or safety door events. The machine operates on 220V single-phase power with a power-off memory function to protect production data against unexpected interruptions.
