STOLL launcht Flachstrickmaschine für Volumenmarkt

STOLL launcht die neue Flachstrickmaschine CMS 503 ki L, 50″, für den Volumenmarkt. Erst Mitte März 2024 hat STOLL die CMS 503 ki L gelauncht und damit die bewährte CMS 503 ki um eine Maschine mit größerer Arbeitsbreite ergänzt. Das L im Namen steht für XXL-Musterungspotenziale: Mit einer 50″-Arbeitsbreite können Designs mit ausgedehnten Motiv-Formaten, aber auch Artikel mit einer erweiterten Größenrange umgesetzt werden.

STOLL launcht die neue Flachstrickmaschine CMS 503 ki L, 50″, für den Volumenmarkt. Erst Mitte März 2024 hat STOLL die CMS 503 ki L gelauncht und damit die bewährte CMS 503 ki um eine Maschine mit größerer Arbeitsbreite ergänzt. Das L im Namen steht für XXL-Musterungspotenziale: Mit einer 50″-Arbeitsbreite können Designs mit ausgedehnten Motiv-Formaten, aber auch Artikel mit einer erweiterten Größenrange umgesetzt werden.

Die CMS 503 ki L ist mit einem Feinheitsspektrum von E5 - E18 / E2,5.2 - 8.2 und einer Arbeitsbreite von 50″ / 127 cm im Angebot. Zur technischen Ausstattung zählen u. a. der Multiflex®-Abzug von STOLL und die standardmäßig in allen STOLL-Maschinen verwendeten Federzungennadeln. Der patente Abzug sorgt für eine optimale Breitenfixierung der Strickware und dadurch für weniger Ausschuss und Kosten. Die Federzungennadeln tragen ebenfalls zu einer Senkung der Kosten und Fehlerquote bei, führen aber auch zu einem gleichmäßigen Maschenbild und Warenflächen mit klaren Texturen. Die Grundlage hierfür ist eine durchdachte Konstruktion: Eine Zungenfeder unter der Nadelzunge gewährleistet höchste Sicherheit bei den Umhängeprozessen und beim Schließen der Zungen, auch bei der Verarbeitung vieler Fäden oder bauschiger Garne. Zudem werden die Nadeln durch den Einsatz von Nadelbürsten sicher geöffnet – ein Vorteil speziell bei leeren Nadeln – und ein kleinerer Zungenvorsprung macht ein festeres Stricken möglich.

Als Vertreterin der Knitelligence®-Maschinengeneration ist die CMS 503 ki L auf die Anforderungen der modernen digitalen Ära vorbereitet. Sie bietet vielfältige Vorteile, darunter die Möglichkeit zur Prozessautomatisierung, Transparenz, kurze Reaktionszeiten und Produktionszyklen, Vernetzung und die Erschließung neuer Geschäftsmodelle.

STOLL launches a new innovation package

ITMA 2023 was a successful platform for the flat knitting machine manufacturer STOLL to present its latest new developments. The business unit of the KARL MAYER GROUP will be following up this fair on 3 July with the launch of a further innovation package. With the solutions contained in this package, STOLL will be offering its customers additional added value when using their flat knitting machines - in line with the concept of bundling innovations.

ITMA 2023 was a successful platform for the flat knitting machine manufacturer STOLL to present its latest new developments. The business unit of the KARL MAYER GROUP will be following up this fair on 3 July with the launch of a further innovation package. With the solutions contained in this package, STOLL will be offering its customers additional added value when using their flat knitting machines - in line with the concept of bundling innovations.

The new features include an optimised central lubrication system that reduces both maintenance effort and oil consumption, this as standard from July 2023 for all models of the CMS and ADF series produced in Reutlingen.
Compared to the previous optional variant, it ensures more efficient and comprehensive lubrication. All needle bed elements, from the holding-down jack to the coupling part and intermediate slider to the selection jack, are now supplied with oil. The machine itself recognises whether lubrication is required. Independently of this, the lubrication intensity and oil distribution can be adapted to the individual machine conditions by setting various parameters, if required. To ensure that the required amount of lubricant is reliably supplied, a message is sent if the level is too low.

In addition, a new oil drain container as standard equipment for all CMS and ADF models catches used oil from the needle bed under the machine. This prevents soiling of floors or knitted fabrics. The emptying of the container can be efficiently managed by an adjustable reminder function. The neat and at the same time sustainable solution does not require cleaning agents or hoovers and offers the possibility to reuse the oil after cleaning through special filters, if necessary.

Users of CMS and ADF belt take-down machines can benefit from optimisations around the belt take-down. Thanks to the new STOLL innovation package, this can be turned forwards and backwards by means of a switch as standard in order to easily eliminate fabric wraps and thus reduce maintenance times. In addition, a mirror, which is also fitted as standard, ensures a simple visual check of the belt take-down.

Another solution of the STOLL innovation package from July 2023 includes new cams that enable split-stitch implementation without cam box modification. This reduces manual effort and thus conversion times and costs. The feature is standard on all fine gauges ADF and CMS machines.

For the W machines from STOLL, there is now a further inlay yarn carrier, the Qt, in addition to the previous Qw yarn carrier. The extension means that the number of inlay yarn carriers used in a system can be increased from the previous one to three. No additional system is required for the weft yarn, and the process steps weft yarn insertion and knitting take place in the same system.

Launch of STOLL's latest collection COLOR IN KNITTING

Just in time for ITMA 2023 in Milan, the flat knitting machine manufacturer STOLL has launched its new collection COLOR IN KNITTING. It holds a range of knitting techniques that were ideated for novel super fine machine gauges such as the E20.

In addition, STOLL reveals its internal design workflow, showcasing how digital software tools can speed up the design process. The core of this is k.innovation CREATE DESIGN. Through the utilization of STOLL’s jointly developed design software solution, k.innovation CREATE DESIGN, in collaboration with @KM.ON, the shape and structures of a garment, can be digitally created, allowing for its simulation before it is even knitted. The interfaces to various external 3D software tools, allow for a realistic representation of the garment facilitating faster design decisions. Once the virtual knits, made in the CREATE DESIGN software are ready for manufacturing, it will be send to a knitting technician for further processing in k.innovation CREATE PLUS, This significantly speeds up product development while reducing communication issues between designers and technicians.

Sustainability and responsible handling of precious natural resources were key factors driving the development of the latest trend collection, COLOR IN KNITTING. STOLL-knit and wear®, a technique that stands for seamless knitted garments, can play a significant role in reducing waste. In addition, fewer process steps are required in the production chain - with advantages for production efficiency.
For another highlight of COLOR IN KNITTING, the STOLL creatives have worked on imitating different yarn effects with knitting technology such as slub yarn optics or the simulation of fabrics like crepe de chine/crepe georgette

On the occasion of the 150th anniversary of STOLL, COLOR IN KNITTING features a selection of vintage pattern replicates. These patterns can be found in STOLL’s extensive sample archives in Reutlingen. It is impressive to learn that all these former fabric constructions can still be replicated today and also reinvented with todays machine features. This approach showcases the steep progression of technical advancements over the past 150 years.

STOLL´s latest trend collection culminates in the creation of an invaluable resource: the book “Color in Knitting: By Designers, for Designers”. This publication aims to cater to a diverse audience by presenting a comprehensive guide to designing with colors using various flat knitting technologies and will be presented in the chapter "Book release".
