This seminar provides an overview of the production of textile surfaces with warp knitting machines. Theoretical content is combined with practical work so that you can deepen and apply the knowledge you have learnt in practical work.

We will equip you with general principles of warp knitting and you will be able to incorporate this experience into your day-to-day work. In addition, you will gain extensive knowledge of warp knitting as a non-professional employee.

Main topics:

• Sample gears (chain links, cam discs, electric gears)
• Creation of bindings, taking into account the binding elements and their influence on properties
• Demonstration of the associated technology with an overview of the mode of operation

Most of the seminar will take place on the warp knitting machine. The focus will be on setting up the warp knitting machine. The yarn path and feeding of the warp knitting yarns into the machine will be explained and carried out in practice. Once a weave has been created, the machine is set up and started up.

We will equip you with general principles of warp knitting and you will be able to incorporate this experience into your day-to-day work. In addition, you will gain extensive knowledge of warp knitting as a non-professional employee.

Main topics:

• Practical warp knitting (construction of warp knitting machines, set-up, production of knitted fabrics)

This course provides an overview of the production of textile surfaces using flat knitting machines. Theoretical content is combined with practical work so that you can deepen and apply the knowledge you have learnt in practical work.

We will equip you with general basics of flat knitting and you will be able to incorporate this experience into your everyday working life. In addition, you will gain extensive knowledge of knitting as a non-professional employee.

This course includes a theory section, a tour and demonstration of selected knitting machines and a general overview of the technical centre for woven and knitted fabrics. The practical focus is on learning the basics of knitting on a hand flat knitting machine.

Main topics:

• Theoretical introduction to the structure of the stitch, explanations of terms relating to single and multi-thread technology and an overview of the different types of knitting machines
• Construction and handling of a manual flat knitting machine
• Set-up and operation of an electronic flat knitting machine from Stoll
• Demonstration of the machine technology with the corresponding working method
• Realisation of basic weaves on a hand flat knitting machine

Most time of this course will be taking place on an electronic flat knitting machine. The focus will be on setting up the machine and making patterns.

We will equip you with general basics of flat knitting and you will be able to incorporate this experience into your everyday working life. In addition, you will gain extensive knowledge of knitting as a non-professional employee.

This course includes a tour and demonstration of selected knitting machines. The focus is on explaining the operation and function of an electronic flat knitting machine. You will learn the individual steps required to set up the machine and knit prefabricated patterns.

Main topics:

• Learning the individual practical steps
• Selecting the yarn
• Setting up the flat knitting machine (yarn tension, needle change, brush position)
• Knitting basic bind-offs on an electronic flat knitting machine
• Evaluating the knitted fabric and analysing errors

This course serves to deepen basic knowledge in the field of knitting. In addition to practical work on an electronic flat knitting machine, the basics of binding are also taught.

We will equip you with general basics of flat knitting and you will be able to incorporate this experience into your everyday working life.In addition, you will gain extensive knowledge of knitting as a non-professional employee.

This course includes a tour and demonstration of selected knitting machines.We will show how an electronic flat knitting machine works and how it functions. The M1plus will also be used to create bindings.

Main topics:

• Creating basic weaves using M1plus, taking into account the weave elements and their properties
• Knitting of the created knitted weaves on an electronic flat knitting machine
• Evaluation of the knitted fabric and error analysis
• Consolidation of existing knowledge with advanced knitting applications (intarsia/plating/jacquard)

This seminar is aimed at anyone whose work is related to the finishing of textiles. Participants will receive a basic overview of this important specialist area and the main finishing stages and processes.

Participants will be familiarised with the safety-relevant aspects of textile finishing and are introduced to ecologically safe textile auxiliaries and modern, energy-efficient processes.
