KNITTING MACHINE
The invention relates to a knitting machine (1) comprising a knitting unit (2), a thread reserve (9-11), which has at least one warp beam (12-14) and a delivery unit (20-22), which supplies threads (6-8) from the thread reserve (9-11) to the knitting unit (2). The aim of the invention is to increase the productivity of the knitting machine. To achieve this, the warp beam mounting (15-17) comprises a rotary drive (23, 24) with a control device, which maintains the thread tension between the warp beam (12-14) and the delivery unit (20-22) at a predetermined value.
