14 November 2008, Obertshausen – Leading builder of warp
knitting machines Karl Mayer, has confirmed that it has already made sales of
its DJ4/2 Seamless Smart double needlebar raschel machine. The news was
announced as Karl Mayer prepares to show the machine next week’s Yiwu H&G machinery
show in China, which runs from 18-22 November.
Karl Mayer says that the DJ 4/2, which is produced by Nippon
Mayer in Japan, was only presented to the market in spring of this year, and already
several machines have already been sold. The attraction for manufacturers is the new narrow
working width of 44 inches and ability of the machine to allow quick sampling
and therefore short run production.
The configuration of the DJ 4/2 has also been completely
revamped and special technical features include two ground guide bars and two
jacquard bars, which offer all the patterning possibilities of six shog lines.
In addition, the machine is equipped with the tried-and-tested piezo technology
for controlling the jacquard needles, Kamcos with MultiSpeed system and
electronic beam drive.
Karl Mayer says that it’s tried and tested technology enables
the DJ 4/2 to operate at a rate of 800 to 900 stitches per minute, whilst
offering the typical high product quality associated with Karl Mayer, together
with exceptional user friendliness.
The company says that with relatively low investment costs
and a much improved price/ performance ratio, the new narrow-format model
complements the existing RDPJ which has a working width of 138 inches.
Karl Mayer says that the DJ 4/2 is the machine of choice
when it comes to efficiently developing new products as well as for flexibly
producing smaller batches. It’s versatility, together with its relatively low
cost, give the customer plenty of scope when developing and organising production
ranges, and is perfect for companies wishing to gain a foothold in the seamless
sector.
