Karl Mayer has launched the new five-bar COP 5 M-EL tricot machine for the production of new shoe fabric patterns and more. The former COP 5 version has been combined with Karl Mayer’s EL pattern drive in this model to create a tricot machine capable of producing an extensive range of patterns. The company is a textile machinery producer based in Germany.
Its performance was demonstrated at the in-house show held at the recently held Karl Mayer (China). The visitors were particularly impressed by the possibilities it offered to produce shoe fabrics. A coarse machine gauge was developed at Karl Mayer to produce a multifaceted collection for this particular end-use.
The articles in this collection are used in tough, hardwearing sports, and leisure shoes that feature stylish, graphic patterns with a contrasting, two-tone coloured effect. Polyester was used to produce all the types: a textured, spin-dyed black yarn was used in ground guide bars, GB 1, GB 2 and GB 3, and a smooth, semi-matt, raw-white version was used in GB 4 and GB 5. The pattern is based on a 1 in/1 out threading arrangement in GB 4 and GB 5. Openings of different sizes can be produced in the ground by varying the lapping. The wide variety of motifs is produced on the ground pattern during production and protrude clearly from the ground as a result of the spin-dyed yarn.

A fully threaded pillar stitch in GB 1 increases the stability of the fabric. At the same time, the underlaps of the other guide bars are protected in order to improve the abrasion resistance.
The patterned fabrics weigh approximately 300 g/m². They are produced in a gauge of E 20 and can be worked at an exceptionally high operating speed. The COP 5 M-EL has a maximum speed of 1.200 min -1.
Along with shoes, the COP 5 M-EL in a gauge of E 28 can produce sports goods, apparel fabrics and other semi-technical textiles, such as upholstery fabrics, automotive textiles, and coating substrates. The electronic guide bar control, in combination with the five guide bars, gives this all-round machine maximum flexibility. (GK)
