STOLL finishes ITMA with great success and satisfaction

At ITMA, leads and customers alike were enthusiastic about Stoll’s live showcase, said the company in a media statement. In order to experience the live automated process of knitting a customised image while utilising its various stations (i.e M1plus, Stolllautocreate, or PPS – production planning system), visitors had the opportunity to take a picture of themselves or create a graphic within Stoll’s Adobe Photoshop plugin Stoll-artwork and interact with Stoll technology firsthand. As a key feature during the showcase, a plastic stripe was inserted within the fabric during the knitting process. Without manual intervention, a gripping arm (Stoll-knitrobotic) removed this strip from a magazine integrated in the machine and inserted it precisely between the needle beds.

Outside this showcase, visitors were able to admire the new Trend Collection, Materialisation. The focus of the new collection was encompassed around which new and different yarn materials can be processed and specifically knit with Stoll knitting technologies.

Those interested in the field of technical textiles were impressed with a vast selection of corresponding ideas and solutions. Various knitted furnishings such as office chairs or car seats were presented on the show floor and hovered in the air above. Further technical applications were exhibited, such as the knitted sensor glove developed in cooperation with Bosch GmbH.

The knit and wear division of Stoll remained the most crowded area of the booth. Proven to be most appealing to visitors was the unbeatable combination of Stoll’s ADF 830-24 ki knit and wear and CMS 830 ki knit and wear as both machines clearly depicted benefits of Stoll’s knit-and-wear technology: high productivity and cost effective production.

Select Stoll subsidiary had the opportunity to present their developments on a small scale like Paramalhas, Chemtax, and Stoll’s Italian subsidiary, Stoll Italia. Stoll also presented a new developed app solution in cooperation with Fision - creating the possibility to scan visitors and transfer their body measurements into Stoll’s M1plus to develop a ready-to-knit, customised programme.
