ABSTRACT:
A textile warp knitting machine is equipped with a driven sandpaper-covered sueding roll extending the full width of the fabric take-up section of the machine for peripheral engagement of the warp knitted fabric with the sueding roll to produce a raised suede-like nap on one fabric surface. The sueding roll is driven oppositely to the direction of fabric travel. The fabric is guided to contact the sueding roll periphery at two opposite locations thereon. A dancer roller arrangement is provided, including a biasing arrangement for urging the dancer roll with a predetermined force into tensioning engagement with the traveling fabric. Additionally, the sueding roll drive is adapted to vibrate the traveling fabric to allow abraded particles to be released from the sueding roll. The sueding roll and fabric take-up roll drive motors are contained substantially entirely within the driven rolls themselves for improved compactness of the sueding arrangement.
