Groz-Beckert stands for strictest tolerances and highest quality standards. Uniform quality from batch to batch ensures production of flawless fabric at all times.

The predetermined breaking groove is on both sides of the needle butt. Shape and position are jointly defined with the machine builder in such a way that the needle butt breaks straight when overloaded. This prevents costly damage to cylinder and cams.

A needle with transfer function has a transfer milling between the loop-forming part and the needle butt, which can be designed as a groove or as a groove with additional transfer clip. These needles enable loops to be transferred to opposite needles.

Supported by the transfer wing, a loop can be transferred from one needle to an adjacent needle on the same needle carrier. This makes transfer possible in one direction within the same needle carrier. Needles with transfer wing possess a transfer area in the form of a wing between the loop-forming part and the needle butt. This wing is an integral part of the needle shank.

Dial needles help produce different cuff types for socks that would normally be manufactured with a different machine technology. Dial needles allow unusual and attractive socks to be produced.

Seamless needles are thinner than conventional sock needles and because of the high machine speed have a shorter latch than sock needles.

At Groz-Beckert, the functions of all components of the entire knitting system are optimally coordinated with one another. Development and optimization are performed in close cooperation with the machine builders. A fundamental precondition for a uniform loop structure is optimal edge rounding of sinkers. This is especially important in fine knitted fabric. Groz-Beckert uses modern processes to excellently round critical areas of holding down / knockover sinkers. Extreme loads from mechanical influences in the loop formation process cause premature wear. For this reason, Groz-Beckert has adapted the hardness of its sinkers to the higher requirements by employing special grades of steel. Groz-Beckert offers sinkers with and without local hardness. Local hardness means precise wear protection in the yarn-touching area. This is especially important when used in high-speed machines and when working with abrasive materials.

These system parts perform the task of removing the sock from the knitting cylinder and automatically sewing it on the machine.

The transfer part takes on a loop from the first row of the top. After the second to last row of the top has been knit, the needle takes up the loop hanging on the transfer part and knits it to the last row of loops. This closes the top.
