ABSTRACT:
A needle position detecting system for a circular knitting machine inputs the needle position to a computer which controls the needles to perform jacquard knitting. The knitting machine includes a needle cylinder carrying a plurality of needles, a driven gear fixedly mounted on the needle cylinder and driven to turn it by a motor driven gear. An optical encoder coaxially connected to the drive gear counts the number of rotations of the drive gear and the needle cylinder and sends a signal to the computer for calculating a respective needle position.
