Advanced course for Double-needle bar Raschel machines 
Course title: WKD
Substantially based on the principles acquired during the Basic WKB course, the advanced skills and knowledge are further enhanced in this course. Examples in theory and practice carried out on double Raschel machines as well as by CAD/CAM patterning preparation systems guarantee training courses in step with the actual practice.
Target group
Operators with advanced experience in warp knitting such as e. g. operators of textile machines, heads of production, designers, pattern developers, staff in the management department as well as personnel employed in pattern drafting and preparation.
Training prerequisites
Karl Mayer WKB certificate, and/or a comparable advanced knowledge of the double technique as well as willingness to team work and to operate in an intercultural group. Fine English language skills.
Training period
3 weeks
Subjects of the training courses

6. Practical work, patterning
- production of different fabric examples such as ribbons, scarves
tubular goods, spacer fabrics, net constructions
- assembly and disassembly of the knitting elements with subsequent
adjustment such as shog setting and knock-over
- zero position and standard setting
- realisation of analysed sample patterns on the warp knitting machine
- practical work with pattern chains
- machine operation, quality control and fault analysis
