Gauge The gauge of a tufting machine refers to the distance between two adjacent tufting needles on the needle bed , also known as the gauge. It also represents the lateral density of the tufts, that is, the number of tufts within 1 in. Because the parts of the tufting part of the tufting machine are different due to the different needle distances, and the specifications are extremely strict, it is not easy to change the needle distance of the tufting machine. If in order to develop a heavy carpet, if the size is suitable, a tuft needle can be removed at intervals (for example, when the 3/16in needle distance is changed to 3/8in), it is still feasible. Especially in a tufting machine with a fine gauge, the tufting components are very dense, and when the components are too large, too small, or too thin to affect the fastness of the components, you can consider setting up two rows of tufting needles in the front and rear, and needle beds in which the tufting needles are misaligned with each other. .

Tufting machine commonly used needle gauge table

If a tufting machine with 1/lOin gauge is used to produce a 4m wide carpet, the number of tufting needles that should be occupied is: 39. 37x40=1575. Of course, considering factors such as carpet trimming and traversing needle beds for pattern carpets, the actual number of tufting needles on the tufting machine should be increased by about 8%.
In addition, the gauge of the tufting machine is also related to the fineness of the pile yarn used. Roughly the following range.
