What are the common faults of sock knitting machine during operation

Failure to start the sock machine is one of the common faults encountered by operators in daily operations, which is usually closely related to the status of the power supply system. To ensure the normal startup of the sock machine, the operator should first check whether the power plug is firmly connected, whether the power cord is damaged or aged, and whether the voltage is in a stable range. Abnormal fluctuations in the power supply voltage, such as too low or too high, may cause the sock machine to fail to operate normally. In addition, poor contact of the power cord or failure of the fuse will also affect the startup of the equipment. After eliminating the power failure, if the sock machine still cannot start, the potential failure of the control panel should be considered. At this time, the operator should carefully check whether there is an error prompt on the display and try to restart the machine. If the problem is still not solved, it is recommended to contact professional technicians in time for in-depth maintenance.

During the operation of the sock machine, various abnormal conditions may occur, which are usually related to the wear or looseness of mechanical parts. For example, key components such as transmission belts, gears, and needle bars may wear out after long-term operation, resulting in unstable operation of the machine. In addition, dust accumulation or insufficient lubrication inside the equipment will also affect the normal operation of the machine. Therefore, the operator should regularly clean and lubricate the sock machine to ensure that there is no dust accumulation inside and that the moving parts are fully lubricated to maintain its optimal working condition.

During the knitting process of the sock machine, uneven stitches often occur. This phenomenon may be caused by damage to the needle, uneven coil tension or improper needle spacing setting. Needle damage not only affects the appearance quality of the socks, but may also cause thread breakage during knitting. The imbalance of coil tension may cause the tightness of the socks to be different, thus affecting the qualified rate of the final product. Therefore, the operator should regularly check the integrity of the needle to ensure that the coil tension is moderate. At the same time, the setting of the needle spacing should be reasonably adjusted according to the design specifications of the socks to ensure that the stitches of the knitted socks are uniform and meet the expected quality standards.

Software failure is also an important problem that the sock machine may encounter during use. Modern sock machines are generally equipped with computer control systems. Software failures may cause the equipment to fail to work properly. Problems such as program errors and system crashes will affect the startup and operation of the machine. In this case, the operator can try to restart the control system and check whether the software needs to be updated. If the problem persists, it is recommended to contact a professional technician to ensure the normal operation of the sock machine.
