At the upcoming edition of ITMA ASIA + CITME, slated to be held from October 21-25 in China, Karl Mayer, a leading warp knitting machinery manufacturer, will showcase its latest innovation – DS Opto-EC, a warp preparation machine that combines sectional warping in weaving preparation with direct warping in warp knitting preparation on the basis of a universal hybrid principle. This results in maximum flexibility and economic viability when producing warp beams for warp knitting.

The DS Opto-EC processes non-stretch filament yarns to efficiently produce warp beams having a wide band width of 21″ and diameter of 30″ by direct warping process, according to the manufacturer. Furthermore, warp-for-warp technique is also being incorporated to enable processing tests on expensive yarns at low cost. It also offers advantages for cone warping while manufacturing patterned sectional warp beams, the company reports. DS Opto-EC while operating at high speed, places yarn sections of different colours next to each other accurately, and produces precise warp beams efficiently.

At ITMA ASIA + CITME, the company will also present HKS 4-M EL, which processes patterned sectional warp beams produced on the DS Opto-EC. The high-speed tricot machine can produce a fabric having six different, attractive designs seamlessly one after the other. The EL pattern drive on the machine enables the pattern to be changed quickly, and virtually unlimited repeat lengths can be worked upon, the company explains.
Besides this, the show will showcase huge cutting-edge solutions for textile manufacturers. Around 100,000 trade visitors from all sectors of the global textile industry and over 1,600 exhibitors are expected to take part at the fair.
