Knitting, sewing, felting and weaving products

摘要

In the center of the show presence of Groz-Beckert KG, Albstadt/Germany, stands the "TexCar" - a Mercedes-Benz E-Class model that was rebuilt so that nearly all of the textiles used in its manufacture were laid open. This exhibit allows a free view of woven and knitted fabrics, nonwovens and seams, and demonstrates the diversity of textile applications. In the field of knitting, a circular knitting machine made of acryl glass occupies center stage. The transparent nature of the machine allows deep insights in the interaction of all components - Groz-Beckert needles, system parts, and cylinder. 14 knitting technologies are shown, among others bodysize, single jersey and double jersey including several jacquard techniques, as well as a unique gauge gradient on a segment of a cylinder from E10-E50.
