Circular knitting needles

In the field of knitting the focus is placed on the circular knitting needles litespeed and Vo-LC. The litespeed needle for high-performance circular knitting machines is said to allow enormous energy savings and a considerable reduction of CO2 emissions – due to the optimised needle shank geometry and the reduced weight. These needles also optimise lubrication behaviour and reduce oil consumption, the company reports.

The new needle generation Vo-LC is available for body seamless machines and large diameter circular knitting machines in finest gauges. Perfect in precision, according to the manufacturer, the needle allows creating a loop structure that is absolutely even, due to its tight tolerances, narrower than the diameter of a human hair.

Other highlights

Another topic is Groz-Beckert’s special and innovative method of bundling sinkers, which makes the sinker handling more easy in practice, according to Groz-Beckert. Inserting sinkers that are packaged in this way gives customers shorter setting-up times, which means they can lower their production costs considerably in comparison with their competitors.
