The most advantageous geometry of the warp feeding system was determined from the viewpoint of compensating temporary changes in the warp length during the technological cycle of a four-comb warp-knitting machine. Dynamic simulations of the feeding system were carried out for 3 different lengths of the shift of the slider with a guide bar – designating variants (series) of the cross-sectional sizes of the 3D knitted fabrics. The courses of instantaneous warp tensions during the operating cycle of the warp-knitting machine were presented. Limit dynamic loads of the warp were determined and presented as a function of natural frequency of the whip roller. Based on the criterion of the smallest dynamic loads of the warp, the optimum natural frequencies of the whip roller were determined. In the analyzed range of the whip roller parameters, they are 3–6 times greater than the operation frequency of the warp-knitting machine.

The beat-up mechanism of a loom with exciters for vibrating motion of the reed is presented . With the placing of exciters at regular distances across the width of the reed, certain differences can be observed in the amplitudes of the vibratory motion of individual blades. Undercutting is proposed here as a method of reducing these differences. The permissible distance between the exciters was determined taking into account the undercut reed. The undulation of the reed in the process of thickening of the wefts is shown to be a consequence of undercutting. For a distance between the exciters of L = 200 mm and relative depth of the undercut h0/h = 0.8, differences in the amplitudes of individual blades do not exceed 10%.
