STREAMLINE OF PRODUCING KNITTED PRODUCTS FOR CHILDREN
Abstract
In this paper are presented two variants of making knitted products, namely by classic knitting and by integral knitting - Wholegarment, a children's hat made of 100% Cashmir yarn. This yarn is chosen due to its superior qualities, which make it so comfortable to wear, offering increased comfort to the wearer. Being a product for children is the choice of material is of a high importance. This material is durable, adapts perfectly to any shape and fashion design concept. Another reason is the fineness and softness of the yarn, which can be worn directly on the skin, without the risk of irritation or eczema. Another very important feature is its thermal insulation, and hygroscopicity. The research was carried out in S.C. ASTRICO S.R.L.Piatra Neamt. The products were made on the rectilinear knitting machine SSR 12 SV finesse 7, produced by Shima Seiki from Japan. These knitting machines use the SDS-One graphics station or the APEX graphics station - the latest generation. Using the technological possibilities offered by both the machine and its graphic assisted program, it was intended to achieve the production efficiency, which can be done by finding ways of reducing the execution times as well as increasing the comfort and quality of the items produced.
