University invests in warp-knitting machine for glass-fibre textiles

摘要

A high-speed warp-knitting machine from Karl Mayer will be used for the development and production of glass-fibre fabrics by the Institut furTextiltechnik (ITA) at RWTH Aachen University in Germany. The researchers at the ITA have been using a warp-knitting machine from Karl Mayer for the development of reinforcements for concrete structures for a number of years. Now, with the purchase of a Biaxtronic Co with a course-oriented weft-insertion system from the machinery manufacturer of Obertshausen, Germany, the ITA researchers will be able to develop new technologies for the construction industry.
