THE EVOLUTION OF KNITTING-6

The aesthetic output of Stoll-ikat-plating® can be best compared to ikat patterns where spacedyed weft yarns form a horizontally blurred pattern. The graphics on ikat textiles traditionally reflect a certain randomness and less accurate forms and shapes. Colors seem to fade into each other. A similar effect can be achieved in knitting fabrics with Stoll-ikat-plating® on Stoll ADF machines. As with any other knitting technique, Stoll-ikat-plating® impacts the design and development of knitted fabrics. This technique increases the repertoire of printed effects and enables designers to draw their...

THE EVOLUTION OF KNITTING-7

Finally, Weft-Knitting, the so-called umbrella term for circular and flatbed knitting, can be taken literally. Stollweave-in® is a technique where floats can be interlaced into knits in a weft direction. The outcome is a loom-like knit with loom-like properties. This is what provides the stretch and comfort of knits in the vertical direction and, depending on stitch construction, the reduced flexibility in the horizontal direction. Woven knits surpass traditional loom fabrics in many aspects. For example, loom fabrics can’t be pre-shaped into the machine nor can they hold 3D elements. These aspects...

THE EVOLUTION OF KNITTING-16

Ergonomic considerations played a large role in the development of the Stoll CMS ADF models. Now even the back of the machine has come into its own. The sliding bobbin creel enables an easy and fast access to the interior rear side of the needle bed. The bobbin carrier attached at body height is ideal for easy replacement of outgoing yarns.

Yarn carriers The yarn carriers move independently of the carriage, and are set program-controlled in their horizontal and vertical position. This allows for the realization of even more knitting techniques like Inverse Plating, Intarsia Plating, Selective Plating, ® Stoll-ikat plating , Stoll-weave-in etc. Servo motors and servo amplifiers which are highly energyefficient, are used for the yarn carriers. It has been recognized as trend setting by the sustainability initiative Blue Competence of VDMA. 2 yarn carriers on 1 track The minimum distance between 2 yarn carriers on the same track has...
