Seamless Smart -  new machine from Karl Mayer

The DJ 4/2, 42” and E 24, is a new machine for producing seamless lingerie, hosiery and clothing collections by Karl Mayer. This traditional company is a leading manufacturer of warp knitting machines for producing seamless hosiery, clothing, lingerie and sportswear, and is constantly concentrating on optimising its machines for use on this market.

One of its best-selling machines is the RDPJ 6/2 double-needle bar raschel machine, which is equipped with the latest, state-of-the-art technology. The new, narrow series “Seamless Smart” is designated the ‘DJ’ series, and has been designed expressly to be sub-divided into different models. The first machine in this series, the DJ 4/2, was developed by Nippon MAYER Ltd, and is scheduled to be launched onto the international market end of this year. This double-needle bar raschel machine is available in a working width of 42", can operate at a rate of 1,000 stitches/minute.

This includes, two ground guide and two jacquard bars - each arranged in two shog lines, so that it can offer all the patterning possibilities of six shog lines - the jacquard mechanism, the successful piezo technology for controlling the jacquard needles, KAMCOS® with the Multispeed system, and electronic beam drives.

This new machine offers reliable performance for a relatively low cost and carries the quality seal that is a feature of all the machines manufactured by the KARL MAYER Group. The compact DJ 4/2 does not require a large workforce to supervise and maintain it, which makes it an interesting proposition for companies new to the hosiery sector.
