EMMY 901/1001
EMMY knows its job down to the tiniest details.
All procedures for making samples with their particular graphic pattern are simplified. Production
times are minimised leaving plenty of space for personal creativity.
• Sub-programs are available. They are displayed and executed by means of “icons” making the
software package easy-to-access even for less skilled personnel.
• Machine procedures are shown by specific graphics.
• Geometric graphic functions (circle, square, repeats, mirror projections, fill-ins, reductions or
enlargements, optimising intarsia patterns, etc) are automated.
• The pattern format can be made compatible with the leading automatic flat knitting machines.
Specific software for
programming ET/NT
series machines.
Creating and developing knitwear programs dedicated to producing fully fashioned fabrics,
jacquards, narrowed, structured, intarsia and piece fabrics, using the whole machine is almost
child’s play with EMMY.
The graphic pattern of a stitch is set by using Windows compatible devices (mouse, graphic tablet,
trackball) and a set of graphic functions. In this way, you can copy and paste patterns or details on
others, view them on the monitor with a grid, arrange several pages containing different patterns.
Varying zoom levels enable you to enlarge viewing of pattern details to facilitate your work. By
using a scanner or a digital photograph camera, you can store and display any type of photograph
or pattern and easily reduce its colours to the number you require.
The stitch is programmed so that clients may select different types of stitches and structure stitches from diverse menus and icons. More expert users have the possibility of freely creating the
type of sequence they require.
For producing all kinds of
Jacquard artyicles:
structured, increased,
reduced, intarsia and others.
The Ultimate Fashion Machine
EMMY 901/1001
THE MAIN AUTOMATIC FUNCTIONS ARE AS FOLLOWS:
Jacquard fabric back: it can be selected from a menu listing all the most commonly used types of fabric backs, thus enabling
working with different needle positions on the pattern back. In addition to that, you can choose different pattern areas in which
to set different fabric backs. Some advanced controls allow resumption of work by fabric back needles which had been idle for
some strokes, or automatic transfer of no longer operating needles to the back of the pattern. If necessary, the pattern and work
sequence of the fabric back can be customised.
Also possible: links at “entry” or “exit” for intarsia and on-edge patterns using tuck knitting type or loop sinking at 1-, 2- or 3-needle distances from the edge.
Yarn-carriers: 16 yarn-carriers can be handled, using swing or normal yarn-carriers for intarsia patterns. Yarn-carriers may enter
or exit during work to locate close to the point where they have to operate. Management of yarn-carrier overstroke tables is
another feature. If one or more yarn-carriers is/are incorrectly positioned at the end of the fabric, this fault is automatically signalled and EMMY re-positions it/them correctly.
The Intarsia function automatically enables EMMY to establish the needle feed area, the normal or swing yarn-carriers work
area, to set the stroke work order as well as yarn-carrier work entry or exit.
Users may also manually modify, for intarsia programming too, any stages or procedures considered inefficient.
Different knit stitch combinations can be changed.
Needle bed release function depending on the number of racking operations to facilitate all types of braiding/cable stitches
without tearing the cloth.
Use of the Second stitch density or “variable density” can be programmed for knit stitches that require it.
“Hole darning”: stitches simultaneously requiring work, transfer and reception.
Report page providing all information on every program, for rapid searches of archived patterns.
Database “storehouse”: for grouped archival of all individual programs and the different sizes of a sample – you can add the
photographs of the sample too.
Sequential management of fabric selvages.
Users may at any time modify the program or its processing to obtain maximum output and work safety according to need.
Fabrics can be shaped with the aid of fabric shaping tables. Any increases or reductions can be set enabling the user may establish the required shape. This shape will then be graphically superimposed directly on the fabric, thus including the knitting
methods, without the worry of setting shaping commands.
EMMY also has a set of user-support controls such as: automatic activation of half-position racking (if not programmed) when
doing link link or racking work in general, or automatic disabling of the position where racking is unnecessary.
For example: in plain knitting; for start and finish control in economiser knitting, etc.
The work program and work methods set by the user are rapidly controlled when the pattern is finished or after the STITCH
TEST.
Graphic symbols on a screen show all the work methods performed by the machine, including all information concerning glider
direction, economiser knitting, take-down device and stretchflap values.
By using a modem or internet connection, you can directly send or receive a knitting program on your computer.
