KARL MAYER’s HKS 2-S & TM 4 EL: Combining power & precision in tricot warp knitting
KARL MAYER will be showcasing its innovations at ITMA ASIA + CITME 2024, at booth H4-C27
The demand of the fast fashion trends requires efficient high-speed production along with a variety of end products manufacturing capacity from the same type of machine. Imagine having a cutting-edge tricot warp knitting machine that produces different functional fabrics faster than ever. A set of machines that allow manufacturers to produce automotive fabrics, non-stretched fabrics, stretched intimate wear, lingerie, swimwear, sportswear, and so on. Here we’re talking about leading textile machinery producer Karl Mayer’s recent innovative developments on tricot warp knitting machines. High-speed production, impressive flexibility, and a variety of applications are some of the key features that have made us talk about ‘HKS 2-S’ and ‘TM 4 EL’ models.
‘HKS 2-S’ comes with machine gauges from E28 to E50 with a working width ranging from 130” to 210”. Besides, it offers an Individual needle bar with compound needles, a slider bar with plate slider units (½”), a sinker bar with compound sinker units, and two guide bars with guide units. All bars are made of carbon-fiber-reinforced plastic. This allows this model to achieve high precision and maintain standard quality. This newest technology is attached with an easy interface method ‘KAMCOS® 2 (KARL MAYER COMMAND SYSTEM)’ which enables the users to monitor, control and manage the machine comfortably and efficiently.
Diving into their yet another addition to the top-notch 4 bar tricot warp knitting machine; ‘TM 4 EL’. With KARL MAYER’s tried-and-true CFRP technology, this machine was introduced at the end of 2023 and is up to 30% faster than all the preceding models in the same segment. It provides machine gauges, models E28 and E32. The working width can be further adjusted between 210″ and 280″. This machine has integrated laser stop technology, which enables it to detect yarn breakage more accurately and faster than in the past. To make use of the digital solutions offered by KARL MAYER GROUP, the machine can be networked with KM.ON’s secure cloud utilizing the key device. For example, this includes the online map editor CORE LITE. This versatile fabric maker offers exceptional value for money when producing fabrics for home textiles, sportswear, automobile interiors, and outerwear. Leaders in the textile industry and business owners have already acknowledged this innovative idea by KARL MAYER. designating it as the greatest option for the buyer.
Another impression of these two models is that these are coming with the blessing of lower power consumption thanks to LEO® (Low Energy Option) technology. The LED lighting facility, top-quality laser-based sensors, and versatile integrated operating system interface are some of the features attracting a huge audience to them.
