KARL MAYER has unveiled a significantly upgraded version of its HKS 3-M ON tricot machine at ITMA 2023. The latest version combines maximum machine performance with state-of-the-art technologies, addressing the challenges faced by customers today.
Some of the key new features include:
Advanced Feeding Control (AFC): This new system allows for ultra-speedy multispeed operation, even when producing complex patterns with varying yarn consumption. At ITMA 2023, a prototype solution manufactured plisseé fabrics at an astounding 2,900 rpm.
Energy Data Ready option: This new feature provides customers with the hardware necessary to determine and monitor the energy consumption of their HKS 3-M ON machines. The data can be used to optimize energy management and reduce costs.
Precise Sinker Positioning adjustment mimic: This new feature makes it easy and precise to set the sinkers, even for inexperienced operators.
New Batching Device No. 55 X: This new batching device can roll, weigh, and document fabric, and can also generate a label with the determined weight and other useful data.
Direct Drive with Synchronous Motor: The HKS 3-M ON is now equipped with an economical direct drive system that can lead to electricity savings of up to 8%.
Improved ICS: The Integrated Camera System (ICS) has been optimized with a transmitted light set-up and a new background light, allowing it to monitor a wider range of fabrics without any set-up changes.
These new features and upgrades make the HKS 3-M ON the ideal choice for customers who are looking for a high-performance, energy-efficient, and easy-to-use tricot machine.
