Warp preparation innovations for sample warping and indigo dyeing

The KARL MAYER GROUP will be presenting the MULTI-MATIC® 32 Compact as a highlight in the warp preparation sector at the ITMA. The new warp sampling machine is more than twice as productive as the previous model with the same space requirement, and with simple, fast pattern changes and short setup times, it enables the company to react flexibly to the needs of the market. The fully automatic model with optimised ergonomics can also be operated safely despite a shortage of skilled workers.

Another solution for more customer benefit is the LINK-MATIC® system. With this sophisticated automation solution, the batch changes on indigo and sizing machines can be simplified considerably, thus increasing productivity. An increase of up to 30 % is possible, depending on the number of batches. In addition, there is up to 600 m less yarn waste per batch and less personnel is required. When changing batches, only one operator is needed to prepare the warp beams for feeding into the machine. A fully automatic knotting unit couples the warp yarns of the new batch to the yarns of the batch just finished.

In warp preparation, too, networking the machines with the cloud ensures efficient access to machine data and remote service. In addition, quality management reports can be called up on any mobile device via the cloud, and the prerequisites for a proactive warping cloud function are created. Details are available during a screen presentation.
