Abstract
The application of mechatronics is not limited to the range of consumer products encountered in everyday life. Large scale industrial machines such as those used in the textile industry also benefit from the adoption of an integrated and mechatronic approach to their design and operation. This chapter tells the story of the application of such an approach to the design and development of an innovative method of producing warp knitted fabrics using a circular configuration of needles.
