Abstract

A control arrangement for displacing the guide bar in a warp knitting machines comprises an input arrangement for the setting certain characteristic data defining the desired shogging pattern. There is also provided a first storage section for storing data for various transition curves also relating to shogging patterns. A computer can generate a continuous displacement function based on the characteristic data and the transition curves. An output arrangement can reads out the values of the displacement function in dependence upon the rotation angle position of the main shaft 7 of the knitting machine. The values this read out are used as position target values for the guide bar. This enables flexible adaptation to produce very different patterns in high machine speed.
