PURPOSE: To simplify the manipulator for knitting machine by setting a slit plate that is rotated by the motion of the operation bar for driving the knitting machine in opposition to the sensor base plate, connecting individual sensors on the sensor base plates to the controller to control the powerdriving machine for the knitter.

CONSTITUTION: The slit plate 17 opposing to the sensor base plate 22 is rotated by the rotation of the operation bar 2 to change the combinations of individual sensors of the original point, stopping, inching and operation set on the sensor base plate with the original point, stopping, inching and operation set on the corresponding slit plate and the opposition actuates the combined sensors. This sensor sends signals to control the driving machine for the knitter via the controller connected to individual sensors.
