EXCLUSIVE ADVANTAGES

How It Protects Your Production

Bent Needle Detection

Bent needles are a hidden threat—often missed during production and only noticed after dyeing. KnitNeedle detects bent needles immediately, saving hours of downtime and meters of wasted fabric.

Exact Fault Location

Beyond stopping the machine, KnitNeedle identifies the exact needle position where the fault occurred. Operators spend less time searching, enabling faster repairs and higher machine efficiency.

Pattern Fabric Compatibility

Where traditional sensors fail or trigger false alarms, KnitNeedle operates flawlessly on Jacquard, patterned, and cut-line fabrics with minimal false alarms.

Universal Mounting

Easily installable on single plate, double plate, and Jacquard circular knitting machines.
