and devices, each performing specific functions that contribute towards the efficiency of the knitting action.

| Knitting Machine |
The main features of a knitting machine are listed below:
1. Frame: The frame, normally free-standing and either circular or rectilinear according to needle bed shape, provides the support for the majority of the machines mechanisms.
2. Power supply: The machine control and drive system co-ordinates the power for the Drive of the devices and mechanisms.
3. Yarn supply or feeding: The yarn supply consists of the yarn package or beam accommodation, tensioning devices, yarn feed control and yarn feed carriers or guides.
4. Knitting action: The knitting system includes the knitting elements, their housing, drive and control, as well as associated pattern selection and garment- length control devices (if equipped).
5. Fabric Take-away: The fabric take away mechanism includes fabric tensioning, windup and accommodation devices.
6. Quality control: The quality control system includes stop motions, fault detectors, automatic oilers and lint removal systems.
Machines may range from high-production, limited-capability models to versatile, multi-purpose models having extensive patterning capabilities. The more complex the structure being knitted, the lower the knitting speed and efficiency. The simplest of the knitting machines would be hand- powered and manipulated where as power-driven machines may be fully automatically-programmed and controlled from a computer system.
