Abstract: A machine for the production of knitted goods includes a plurality of stitch-forming elements, at least one stitch-forming location, an associated spinning device at the at least one stitch-forming location, at which a sliver (FB) or a yarn is produced from a roving yarn (VG) and the sliver (FB) or yarn is fed to the stitch-forming elements. The spinning device has separate drive devices, which can be actuated in a manner that enables the spinning device to produce a sliver (FB) or a yarn of variable thickness from roving yarn (VG) and which can be fed to the stitch-forming elements.

Abstract: Drawing equipment for a knitting machine for the production of a fiber material from a roving includes double belts, guided via a pair of belt rollers and a pair of output pressure rollers. The pair of belt rollers and the pair of output pressure rollers respectively have an upper roller and a lower roller, which is driven by an electric motor. All of the drawing equipment rollers are disposed on the front-side of a base plate. Axles of the rollers are guided through the base plate. Drive means for the lower rollers of any roller pair are disposed at least partially on the rear-side of the base plate. Disposed on the upper roller of the pair of output pressure rollers and on the upper roller of the pair of belt rollers is suction equipment which extends over both of the upper rollers.

Abstract: A drafting arrangement for a knitting machine for the production of a fiber structure includes a roving with double aprons guided over apron rollers and an output roller pair. The apron rollers and the output roller pair respectively have a press roller and an electric motor-driven drive roller and the rollers and the electric motors are arranged on the front side of a base plate. Motor shafts are passed through the base plate and are connected by means of drive devices to the shaft members of the drive rollers. A clamping device is provided on the rear side (18) of the base plate (11) to press apron rollers and the output roller pair against the drive rollers.
