Abstract: A process can form an arrangement for a warp knitting or circular knitting machine with (a) a single hardenable retaining material, (b) a plurality of thread processing elements having proximal ends, and (c) a carrier having a face with a groove. The process includes the step of introducing the hardenable retaining material before it is hardened into the groove of the carrier. The process also includes the step of holding the thread processing elements in a single plane. Another step is introducing the proximal ends of the thread processing elements into the non-hardened retaining material, keeping the thread processing elements in a single plane with even separation while protruding from the face of the carrier. The process also includes the step of waiting for hardening of said retaining material, wherein the proximal ends are embedded in the carrier.

Abstract: An arrangement for a warp knitting or circular knitting machine, includes a carrier having a face with a groove. Also included is an evenly spaced plurality of thread processing elements lying in a single plane and protruding from the face of the carrier. A hardenable filling material is located in the groove in the face of the carrier. The thread processing elements have proximal ends embedded into this hardenable filling material in the groove of the face of the carrier.
