Brother knitting machine - how pattern selection works
A nerdy detailed look at the mechanical parts that convey the pattern information from the electronics or punchcard to the carriage of a Brother knitting machine. The main section shows an electronically-patterned machine; the minor differences for punchcards are described near the end.
00:00 Intro
02:14 Leading half of the carriage knits, trailing half sets up for the next row
04:00 The needle retaining spring
05:15 The needle selection plates
09:00 The cams, solenoids and rotary cam levers
13:05 The solenoids in action
14:30 Slo-mo of the cams turning
15:00 The role of the carriage
17:20 Watching the needle selection hooks in motion
18:30 More hooks action
19:15 Recap/summary
19:40 Differences for punchcards
21:40 The End, followed by two more slow-motion clips.

Machine knit a robot puppet. Part 4: extras
มุมมอง 3933 ปีที่แล้ว
We're using a knitting machine to knit the pieces of a puppet, and then sewing it together. The pattern on the knitting machine is controlled by an Arduino-based hack called AYAB. This is part 4 of 4, some extra information about some other uses of a knitting machine. The other videos cover the install, the actual knitting, and the sewing. This was originally created as an exhibit for the 2020 ...

This is part 1 of 4, where we install the AYAB hardware into our Brother knitting machine, and its software on our computer.

Can you please help me. When I make fair isles needle 6 left from and 7 from right do not make the pattern. Can you help me ?
Thank you Lady, great professional engineer like explaining the concept and the walk through. You're exceptionally detailed oriented and veryyy intelligent
Such a brilliant “big picture” view! This video is more than most of us would have ever hoped. Thank you!
Absolutely brilliant, thank you very much 🥰
My machine is clean. I have removed old grease and re-lubricated the carriage and the punch card unit. KC won't select properly. Could it be damage to the spring?
Thank you. If I only knew about knitting machines when I learned Fortran so long ago.
❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you so much for such a comprehensive explanation of how the patterning mechanisms work. I’ve watched several videos on this subject but yours is the first to cover every aspect, plus in easy to follow sections. A fantastic guide for any machine knitter!!
Thank you!
That is amazing! So happy I found this channel!
Sorry to bother but my brother kh910 doesnt select the needles anymore, when i put it on kci or kcii also i struggle to move the carriage.. by any chance do you have any advice?
अपना नंबर सैंड कोरो जी 🙏🏻
Very nice ♥️👍🙏🏻
My KH892 punchcard’s patterning offset, ie, instead of patterning L12 to R12 it patterns L4 to R20. (Ie 8 needles to the right). A simple work around is to change how I centre my work on the bed, but I was hoping this might be an easy fix. Watching your video it seems a lot more complicated and not at all obvious to me what to needs fixing. Any ideas appreciated. In the meantime I’m going to see if I can find the service manual, and whether that helps (though interpreting technical schematics is not a strength of mine!)
You could check that the belt is lined up correctly. Download the KH830 service manual from mkmanuals dot com, it's not your exact model but all the machines are the same in this area. On page 37 where it mentions "concave part of clutch wheel" that's a little dip in the pulley, which needs to line up with an oval hole in the belt.
@@machineknittingtopics Thank you so much. I figured out that what had happened is that the needle selector cam was out of alignment with the clutch wheel. This is cause 2 in MK service manual for the KH864 (p52). Unfortunately, by figuring this out I accidentally broke the punch card mechanism. (I don't think I physically broke anything, it's just that I've not been able to put it back together properly with everything in alignment. So it's off to get serviced and repaired. And hopefully the needle selection fixed!
Buen video mi máquina punch card no selecciona las agujas ya la hice revisar pero no encuentro la falla😥
Thank you for this video :) I'm working on a project and would love to talk to you about your work with AYAB. If you're willing to connect, please let me know. <3
I think I found you in the AYAB Facebook group. I sent a Facebook PM.
@@machineknittingtopics Super ! I will reply there :)
Wow
Thanks for your amazing work and the videos are really well made.
thank you for the video. this is the video i was looking for a long time ago. i found it out myself in the meantime, but i'm glad someone finally made this 🙂
Thanks, and yes, there must be plenty of people who have figured this out for themselves while taking the machines apart with the help of the service manuals and the various repair videos that already exist. But I hadn't seen any end-to-end description of how it actually works, not focused on any one repair.
Very informative. Thank you.
Very interesting video. Thank you for an in-depth explanation and views of the inner workings of the patterning mechanism.
Glad it was helpful
Скажите пожалуйста где купить такую плату
good !! and i really want to see how to do 'lace knitting with ayab program'
Wonderful!!
How cool !! Congratulations on the channel. I will follow all videos!! Can I use DAK with Ayab?
