Obertshausen - Warp knitting machines
equipped with second generation carbon-fibre-reinforced plastic technology are
said to be more stable to ambient temperatures, guaranteeing high gauge
accuracy during knitting.
The development of CFP bars into its
machines has been one of Karl Mayer?s most significant developments in recent
years. These high-precision composite components are up to 25% lighter than the
conventional version and as they are more rigid, also enabling knitting speeds
to be increased considerably.
The high temperature stability of the CFP
materials has also enabled the window for machine operation to be
increased from +/- 2?C to +/- 5?C, and subsequently even to +/- 7?C.
