Terrot, a leading manufacturer of electronically and mechanically controlled circular knitting machines, will be exhibiting at the Febratex Brazilian Textile Industry fair, that will take place from 12-15 August at the Parque Vila Germânica, Brazil.

The company, together with its partner Erdeck Representações, invites visitors to the exhibition where it will showcase its UCC572 open width frame machine model.

Exhibition

Febratex presents a show featuring the latest releases in textile materials and their processing as well as machinery and equipment for textile industry.

In August 2012, the 13th edition of Febratex met the very latest in technology and innovations in the textile industry. The show comprised a total area of 15,000 square meters of exhibition, bringing together 350 booths with over 1,900 brands represented, receiving more than 89,000 visitors during the four days of exposure.

Properties

UCC572, Electronic Double-Jersey with 3-Way-Technology, is based on the knitting technique of Mini-Jacquard UP472 and S3P172. The further developed UCC572 presents itself in coarse gauges as well as fine gauge up to E 40.

It features a dial-drop-camming system for easy and fast cam adjustment (from outside) without removing any cam boxes; multiterminal controller with pattern data input via USB stick for nearly unlimited pattern capacity; as well as the latest Piezo technology with High Speed Actuators for a perfect miss-tuck-knit position and controllable cylinder needle selection in 3-Way-Technique.

Due to the knitting principle with 8-step pattern jacks, a wide selection time is said to be achieved especially for fine gauges, ensuring highest reliability and performance in needle selection.

New applications

According to the manufacturer, latest developments in elastane plating cams open new application areas, e.g. superfine fabrics for exclusive underwear and outwear.

New sales opportunities are also opened by using synthetic yarn qualities in the application of outerwear, underwear and especially in the fast growing market of sportswear, Terrot reports.
