Karl Mayer, the industry leader in textile machinery, introduces an innovative TEXTRONIC Lace machine that promises to redefine lace production. The MT 84/1/40 S, set to be officially unveiled in November 2023, showcases an exceptional blend of traditional craftsmanship and modern technology.
This cutting-edge lace machine creates delicate lace articles with a captivating, contrasting fabric appearance. The key highlight is its remarkable resemblance to 12-point Leavers lace quality, a feat acknowledged by Karl Mayer's lace expert, Jamie Heather.
The MT 84/1/40 S employs a pioneering configuration, incorporating a stitch-forming Jacquard bar and two ground guide bars. This unique setup enables the production of high-contrast lace with multi-layered patterns and even allows for the creation of lighter fabric grounds without the need for pillar stitches. The addition of a fall-plate and an increased number of pattern bars further enhances the intricacy of the lace produced.
Karl Mayer plans to showcase this groundbreaking lace machine at a product show in Changzhou City, China, parallel to ITMA ASIA, where industry enthusiasts can witness the MT 84/1/40 S in action, signaling a new era in lace manufacturing.
