The first raschel machine equipped with carbon fiber-reinforced plastic (CFRP) components will be available on the market in April 2010
Karl Mayer's RSE 4-1 is the fastest four-bar raschel machine in the world, and will set new speed standards and operate with precision accuracy - completely independently of the climatic conditions, the company says.
The speed has been increased by integrating innovative CFRP components into the machine construction, which has been specially adapted to handle these components.
The weight of the CFRP bars has been decreased by as much as 25% compared with the conventional type, whilst the rigidity has been increased. This has opened up more scope for setting the maximum achievable speed. Above all, however, the use of CFRP materials results in temperature stability during production. The temperature window for problem-free machine running has been extended from +/- 2ºC to +/- 7ºC. Extending this tolerance range has minimised any loss in efficiency caused by having to adjust the needle tool as a function of the climatic conditions, or to reduce the speed following a machine stoppage.
