Flexible Productivity from a Full Range of Economical Machines
The SFF-series is an economical line-up of compact and spacesaving machines specializing in such applications as plain, rib and tubular knits in panels as well as accessory parts such as collars, plackets and pockets. The SFF131-S features the lightest, most compact carriage in computerized flat knitting applications, while the SFF152-T features a twin-carriage configuration complete with transfer capability. The SFF153-S features a triple-system carriage capable of ultrafine gauge knitting as well. Each of the SFF-series machines is a cost-effective solution for supplementing production with specialty items.
LCD Controller
In order to provide optimum interface between user and machine, all software control of the SFF-series is performed via an easy-to-read interactive liquid crystal display (LCD) unit. Menu-interactive buttons switch among multiple functions for user-friendly operation.
Top Tension Device and Side Rollers
When knots are detected during knitting, the top tension automatically slows down or stops machine operation according to the situation. SFF machines also feature side rollers which supplement the takedown roller by adding required tension to the edges of the fabric in both horizontal and vertical directions. This assures more even takedown and prevents the fabric from bowing at the edges. Together, the top tension device and side rollers serve as effective quality control devices.
Tandem Operation
The SFF152-T features twin carriages, each with a single-system cam setup. While both carriages can be used together along the entire width of the needle bed for knitting wide panels in double-system mode, the carriages can be separated into two single systems for knitting two identical pieces simultaneously. Tandem operation capability thereby allows the machine to perform two separate roles, significantly increasing the versatility and flexibility of the machine.
