Karl Mayer Wefttronic RS offers even more working widths

The recent developments have concentrated on complementing the range of working widths available. Whereas the first Wefttronic machine, which appeared in 2010, had a width of 268", a version having a width of 138" was already available for ShanghaiTex 2011. A Wefttronic RS in a width of 213" was being exhibited at ITMA Asia 2012. This intermediate width is complemented by a machine having a width of 176”, which was launched at the same time.

The different working widths of the Wefttronic RS for the simultaneous production of several fabric webs next to each other can be fully utilised to achieve a high level of operating efficiency.

Simple operation

All the technical features of the Wefttronic RS are housed in a space-saving machine configuration. The compact construction minimises floor space requirements and the short distances promote easy operation. Touchscreens for man:machine communication, the location of the ladder on the right-hand side of the machine, the drive, the patterning mechanism, and optimum width adjustment by a maximum of 60" round off the package of features that minimise the time and effort involved in operating the machine.

The Wefttronic RS can be integrated in the company’s own network or linked to the Internet to simplify data transfer. Linking the machine to the World Wide Web enables KARL MAYER’s Teleservice Plus to be accessed. Among other things, this service speeds up fault analysis and communication, and enables the service centre to access the machine on-site in real time.
