Through the mechatronics system, the integrated molding from yarn to seamless fabric is realized. Abandoning the traditional "cutting-stitching" mode, relying on the integration of dedicated hardware and intelligent control, the complete garment piece is directly constructed through continuous weaving.
Its core hardware includes a circular needle bed (hundreds to thousands of knitting needles arranged in a trajectory), a looping mechanism (controlling the needle insertion, bending and other movements through a triangular cam, with an accuracy of up to 0.1 mm), a yarn feeding system (through an independent motor to deliver various yarns with a preset yarn tension, and the yarn ratio can be adjusted) and a computer control system (the "brain" that converts clothing parameters into drive signals and synchronously controls multiple parameters).
This integrated process allows the edge of the fabric to be naturally connected to the main body, avoiding traces and thickness differences caused by stitching. For example, the collar, cuffs and hem of a seamless T-shirt are all woven continuously, and the tightness of the fabric is adjusted by the needle density, so that the difference between the seam and the main fabric does not exceed 0.5 mm.
Compared with traditional flat-bed sewing machines, it has two major advantages: flexible production (the type of garment can be switched within 10 minutes by changing the program) and enhanced fabric tensile strength (increased by more than 20%), reducing the risk of wear and tear, redefining knitwear production by "weaving instead of sewing".
