AUTOMIZATION OF KNITTING MACHINE IN TEXTILE INDUSTRY BASED ON ADVANCED MICROCONTROLLER
Keywords:
knitting,, Yarn,, Control systemAbstract
The Paper describes an atomized knitting machine based on advanced microcontroller named Atmels Atmega 328. The automation is provided to a sock knitting machine that is completely mechanical and is not supported by any electronic stop motion and computerized pattern design. The system consistsof a yarn detector system which buzzer alarm when yarn breakage occurs.The control system receives computerized patterns for drum of a 5 step machine, causing the desired patterns to be imprinted on the sock in selected area.VB.net is used to prepare design and communicate with user and system. Various patterns can be created, modified and downloaded into the system. Magnetic pickup is used to sense the cam position so that patterns to be imprinted on the sock by actuating specific needles.Five actuatorsare used to actuate needles on 5 step machine. Overall system increases the efficiency and throughput of the knitting machine.
