Model WK6 Single Feed Knitting Machine
Description
Single Feed Circular Weft Knitting Machine
LAMB’s Model WK6 is a single feed circular weft knitting machine that was originally designed to knit wire and other durable yarns, such as fiberglass and Kevlar. This machine can knit either round or tubular flat jersey materials between 1/16″ to 2-3/4″ (1.5 mm to 70 mm). The Model WK6 Machine frame, motor and Take-Down System are more robust than our Model ST3AH/ZA. This allows the WK6 to handle industrial textiles and to accept cylinders up to 3.25-inches OD. The WK6 is primarily used in industrial applications, such as filtration, hose reinforcement and gasketing.
This machine is available with the following options:
- Power Feed
- Hardened Take-Down Rolls for Tubular Flat materials
- Take-Down Wheel (Capstan) for Round materials
- Roll-Up Attachment
- Stop-Motion Detection
