Summary

One of the most important machining processes used to produce weftknitting machines is a precision saw cutting process that produces very fine axial grooves in the periphery of a knitting cylinder. Several errors in the groove geometry can arise while the saw cutting process is taking place:- 1) the depth and width of the groove can go outside specified tolerance limits, 2) the saw can run out of true axial alignment, and 3) the saw can fracture during the cut causing considerable damage.
