Producing functional textiles with tried and tested multi-bar raschel machines

摘要

Warp knitted textiles combine the stability of woven fabrics with the elasticity of knitwear. Different thread systems can also be combined with warp knitting technology to produce fabrics with a wide variety of properties. Functional yarns in particular can result in exceptional performance profiles. The Karl Mayer Group, Obertshausen/Germany, has already carried out extensive development work in this field, in which electrically conductive and high-tenacity materials were processed on multi-bar raschel machines. For a long time now, the high-performance models have been making new lace patterns possible for the lingerie and clothing sector. When producing technical articles, functional yarns can be arranged in areas of any shape, size and placement thanks to their diverse potential.
