Control Box 2


 
Home | Français | Nederlands | Deutsch | Russian

The Brother KH970 electronic knitting machine consists of two major parts: the CB-1 Controller Box and the needle bed + carriages. The CB-1 (or DB-1 for the KnitKing KH970) is connected with the knitting machine via the KM cord.

We have developed the CB-2, Control Box 2, and software that provides the knitting functionality of the CB-1 for Brother KH970 electronic knitting machines. With the CB-2 you can knit existing patterns without the need of any additional software. All inbuilt patterns of all Brother electronic knitting machines are inbuilt in the CB-2. You can create your own patterns with a graphics package of your choice.
