knitting machines motion control system

[ADM Rao]

Hi,

My question is related to the Textile industry application. We are working on a servo mechanism of a knitting machine for textile industry. Is there anybody can help me in giving some of the similar applications tailor made using NI motion platforms? Typical motor parameters are enclosed. We need to workout a miniaturized motion solution which is a part of knitting machine. This knitting machine is responsible in identifying any broken strings.

Quick response is highly appreciated.

Rao,

could you please provide some information about the typical motion control tasks, that are required for your application? How many axes are involved? What type of synchronisation do you need (vector spaces, camming, gearing,...)? How fast do your axes move?

Do you have experience with NI products like LabVIEW, NI-SoftMotion and cRIO?

I don't have any experience with knitting machines, but I have a decent level of motion control related project experience. So if you could help me to better understand your application's requirements and your individual backgroudn with NI products, this will help me to give you better advice.

Thanks and kind regards,

Jochen Klier
