Step 1: Components of warp knitting machine.
Single-bed warp knitting machines consist of a needle bar, guide bar, and sinkers.
Step 2: Role of each component.
Needle bar: holds and operates the needles.
Guide bar: guides yarns to form loops.
Sinker: helps loop formation and fabric take-down.
Step 3: Identify the outlier.
The heald shaft is not a knitting component. It is used in weaving looms to raise and lower warp threads through heddles.
