The AG14 AGOTEX instrument is used on single-bed o double-bed circular knitting machines to detect needle head breakage.
A precision magnetic sensor warms the instrument that the circular knitting machine has performed one complete rotation. At this stage the digital processor built into the instrument stores and verify the number of needles being working.
The instrument detect the broken needle and stops the production or the machine, so that the piece may be positioned at a pre-set location.
The instrument consists of a main module, a specially-designed magnetic switch and a maximum number of four infrared optical readers for needle detection.
The smooth front panel with projecting keys allows a longer useful life. The instrument is housed in a sturdy metal box.
