  • Machine can receive up to 4 cam tracks on the cylinder and 2 on dial. It is available with tubular as well as with Open Width Frame.
  • Dial can be set for delaying and synchronised timing without changing the cams.
  • Cam boxes are very light, made by a special aluminum alloy named “Ergal” having a great heat dissipation property.
  • Ergal is capable to avoid dimensional changes due to the variation of temperature between the starting and the regular running of the machine.
  • The yarn carrier head is made of Black Zirconium, it allows a better visibility of the elastomer.
  • Yarn carriers are fixed to a moveable ring to assure an easy setting.
  • The perfect relation between diameter and number of feeds per inch aims at getting the best quality stitch formation with the high productivity.
  • Equally vital is the design of the needles and cams proile through a formula developed by Santoni, assuring a precise and stable movement of needles.
