The high speed, high production, jersey,

and fleece machines are ideal for producing
the finest quality single-knit fabrics. The
computer-designed, closed-cam track
system ensures positive needle control and
provides superb stitch definition. The jersey
machine is equipped with angular sinker
technology to improve fabric quality and
lower the defect rate, even at the highest
speeds. The Delta machine is equipped with
a three-level sinker cam (U.S. Patent
5,477,707, Foreign Patents Pending),
designed for ultra high speed knitting.

 VPL Knit Monitoring System
Allows You to Stay Connected to Your
Plant From Anywhere in the World
 VPL Knit Monitoring System
(KMS)
Vanguard Pai Lung’s Knit Monitoring system is a
complete package to schedule, monitor and
manage a Knitting Room. The system uses many
advantages to give you the information you
want when you want it. The Ethernet network
that connects the machines to PC is fast, reliable
and is easily supportable by any IT department.
This eliminates special networking bridges and
cost to bring data from the machines to the
database software. Reports can be generated
and exported to practically any platform. Real-
time devices keep track of when things happen to
give the most accurate information.
 Benefits of the VPL KMS
Fabric Defect Scanner - Using infrared fabric defect scanning reduces yarn and knitted fabric
waste considerably by detecting defects immediately. The defects are tagged by location and type
for inspection. This increase overall plant efficiency and fabric quality.
Yarn Rate Monitor - Yarn Rate monitoring will detect overfeeds and underfeeds of yarn usage.
This will correct density, porosity, sizing and shrinkage issues, which ultimately saves you a
considerable amount in yarn usage.
Machine Speed Increase Allowance - Increasing speeds while maintaining quality resulting in an
increase of production and effectiveness. This is done through maintained awareness of the
machine healthiness using real-time data from the Knit Monitoring System. Yarn
Quality Improvement - By using the tools provided by the Knit Monitoring system, mill owners
have the ability to demand higher quality yarn from their suppliers. This can be done using the
historical data generated.
Fabric Quality Improvements - Fabric quality improvements are seen in the combined
technologies of detecting and eliminating fabric imperfections. The technologies used to improve
fabric quality are defect scanning, yarn rate monitoring and preventative maintenance procedures
and are organized through the Knit Monitoring system. Combining these technologies can help to
increase your customer satisfaction,.
Labor Cost Reductions - Coordinated communications from Knitter to Mechanic and to the
healthiness of all machines are used to organize the knitting room floor. This increases productivity
of employees and reduces labor costs.
Downtime Reductions - All machines and employee functions are logged and classified for
review. Inefficiencies are easily identifiable and addressable. Production becomes smoother and
more efficient.
 Real Cost Savings when Utilizing the
High Speed Delta Jumbo and KMS
Pay Back – A VPL Delta Jumbo machine can pay for itself in less than one year…….
Fewer Machines - One high speed Delta Jumbo can replace on average, 2 to 3
machines, while generating equal production.
*Based on Delta Jumbo 1750SF versus 900SF.
Less Labor Cost - Fewer machines, equals less operators.
Less Power and Air Consumption - Significantly less power and air consumption.
Fewer Fabric Defects – VPL fabric scanners reduce yarn and knitted fabric waste
considerably by detecting defects immediately
Less Machine Downtime – Machine inefficiencies are easily identifiable and
addressable with the KMS. Production becomes smoother and more efficient.
Fewer Fabric Rolls – One Jumbo frame roll, equals 10 to 12 standard frame machine
rolls. Creating better efficiency, less doffing and less roll handling. Allowing to
streamline bleach and dye lots.
Less Fabric Seams – Large rolls, create less seams, thus producing less waste.
*Average fabric savings of 4 ½ yards per jumbo roll.
