LMC and LMI
Yarn Length Meter

Measuring range 1 – 999999 cm or inch
Electronic length meter to measure the yarn consumption of a single yarn feeding system for one or more machine cycles of a circular knitting machine

Measuring time is determined by operator using start/stop button.

Special Features

  • Yarn length meter LMC for measuring cm and LMI for measuring in inch
  • Basic unit with Start/Stop button for manual, easy and quick measurements
  • Precision, ball-bearing mounted wheel is recessed into an adjustable slot on the rear side
  • Material slip is eliminated by maximum enlacement of material (approx. 120°) with rubber coated wheel

It is stationary mounted between filament break monitors and filament guides using the supplied magnetic base.

 Standard Features

  • Easy to operate
  • Magnetic base for quick installation; it is stationary mounted on the cylinder ring between filament break monitors and the filament guides.
  • Battery operated length meter

OPERATION

The unit works without external sensor. Operator determines measuring time by pushing start/stop button.

Advantage of yarn length meter LMC and LMI:

  • Continued measuring of the yarn consumption of all knitting feeds ensures uniform stitch lengths and hence homogeneous fabric structure.
  • Predetermined fabric specifications can be reliably maintained and repeated.
  • The quantities of each type of yarn which are required for producing particular fabrics can be simply and accurately calculated.
  • The use of LM ensures the same fabric quality, respectively structures can be produced on different machines in the same quality.
