ADVANCED KNITTING TECHNOLOGY Positive drive for flat knitting machines: twist-free, radial unspooling of wire and monofilament. The MTD is a positive drive for flat knitting machines where the material is unspooled in radial (tangential) instead of axial (over-head) direction. This enables twist-free unspooling of the material to be processed. The MTD is applied in the production of textile fabrics. It can be used for processing wire and monofilament as well as twist-free requirements for aramid, fiber glass, etc. The design of the MTD is characterized by the motor and the dancer unit. The dancer unit regulates the drive of the bobbins depending on the amount of material taken off by the knitting machine. ■ Twist-free unspooling of yarn ■ Wire processing on flat knitting machines ■ Autonomous operation from machine ■ Portable from machine to machine ■ Simple tension adjustment ■ Plug & Play solution

FUNCTION TENSION ADJUSTMENT The technology is based on the dancer principle, i.e. the position of the dancer arm determines the speed of the motor. The dancer arm also functions as a recoil arm to take up the yarn during carriage return. The tension is easily adjusted on the dancer with a mechanical knob and a visible scale from 0 to 10. MODULAR STRUCTURE The modular structure consists of: ■ one power supply unit incl. connection box TECHNICAL DATA MTD Power supply: 36 VDC Yarn consumption: max. 180 m/min @ 0.6 m/sec Yarn reserve dancer: max. 45 cm Module structure: max. 2 MTD drives per module...
