With the M1 pattern workstation you can generate the knitting programs (Sintral) for all the CMS knitting machines of the company Stoll. Starting with a draft, the patterns are entered graphically by inserting modules or by editing pattern elements. For this purpose, different presentations (views) are available in the M1 main program. The changes which are made in one view will be updated immediately in the other one.
Draft as a basis for a knitting program
The M1 main program is enhanced by a series of other programs. Depending on the pattern type, different programs are used, e.g. for module management, shape editing or data exchange. Knitting programs are then generated from the finished patterns. These programs can be processed by the knitting machines.
The following pattern types can be created with the M1 pattern workstation:
Pattern without shape
Fully fashion pattern
Knit and wear (k&w pattern)
