Being the market leader when it comes to cutting-edge processing technology for yarn in-feeding, control systems and lubrication technology for knitting machines, Memminger-Iro Gmbh with over 50 years of experience in this sector, are now seen as a trendsetter that sets standards that others are eager to follow. This international group sells its products in more than 100 countries.
At the ITMA show, Memminger was present with its Spray Lubricator PROJECTILE ELF, Yarn Sensor MIS, Knitting Machine Controller NAVIGATOR and Needle Controller MNC 2, as the latest innovations. All four products being one of a kind, the most outstanding was the Knitting Machine Controller NAVIGATOR because of its ability to monitor knitting machine from a remote location that too with detailed information. The NAVIGATOR is a modular system specifically for running a large diameter knitting machine. If all machines in a knitting room are equipped with this kind of machine controller, it is very convenient for the knitting machine operator due to only having one system instead of several different. Also to mention it can be quickly installed to any machine whether new or old with the help of plug & play feature.
“Right here we have 28 Flat Knitting machines being remotely monitored from Barcelona and present in China. One can look at the production target, the current speed and its status, i.e. working or idle. We are informed about the machines status as soon as it stops working along with the reason,” explains Stefan Maier of Memminger-Iro.
