Abstract
A circular knitting machine comprises a needle cylinder (2) and/or a dial (4) and a cam system (6, 7) associated therewith, said cam system having adjustable cam system parts (32, 33), which are preferably adjustable by rotatable eccentric studs (38) associated therewith. The circular knitting machine moreover comprises in accordance with the invention a setting device (48) which includes actuating members (58) for the eccentric pins (38), wherein the actuating members (58) and the eccentric pins (38) are provided with coupling elements (39, 72), which can be brought into engagement with one another in a defined coupling position. The setting of the cam system parts (32, 33) is effected in that the actuating members (58) are moved suitably after arrangement of the coupling position. The invention further relates to a setting device for this purpose, which can be attached removably to the circular knitting machine. (FIG. 4).
