Karl Mayer, a global leader in textile machinery, has unveiled its latest innovation, the RJ 4/1 EL, during the ITMA ASIA 2023 event in Milan, attracting significant attention from industry insiders and potential buyers. This new addition to their RASCHELTRONIC machine line sets a new standard for four-bar machines, offering enhanced flexibility and pattern versatility.
Unlike its premium counterpart, the RSJ 4/1, the RJ 4/1 EL boasts an EL pattern drive, which allows for rapid pattern changes without limitations on repeat length. Additionally, the integration of KAMCOS 2 technology enables the machine to seamlessly access pattern data from the KM.ON cloud, enhancing efficiency and convenience.
The RJ 4/1 EL operates at an impressive speed of 1,300 min -1, maintaining the high-efficiency reputation of the RASCHELTRONIC series. This multifunctional machine breathes new life into the lingerie and sportswear sectors, offering a wide range of design possibilities, from Spotnet articles and lace-like bands to intricate satin stripe patterns and lapping variations.
Stefan Gross, Product Developer Textile Technology at Karl Mayer, emphasizes the machine's potential, including its ability to create opulent floral and geometric motifs with filigree mesh fillings and matt-gloss effects. The RASCHELTRONIC articles produced exhibit a subtle drape, a silky-smooth texture, and a freecut style, making them ideal for effortless garment production.
The RJ 4/1 EL is now available for worldwide sales and has already garnered significant interest, particularly in the Chinese market. Karl Mayer (CHINA) is set to showcase the machine during ITMA ASIA, providing a unique opportunity for industry players to witness its impressive capabilities firsthand.
