Comez has upgraded its high speed crochet knitting machine for the specialised production of a wide range of elastic and non-elastic bands. The Comez 609/B3 is described as the ideal knitting solution producing elastic folded articles for women’s and men’s underwear making use of fine gauge yarns and in 20G. The high speed of this machine, combined with its reliability and efficiency, are said to guarantee to manufacturers a high-quality finished product with high output.
The 609/B3 is equipped with 2 weft bars and the heddle bar for elastic threads, controlled by the three lever weft device. The 2 weft bars are driven by the 2 lateral levers of the weft device for movements of up to 50 mm, while the heddle bar for elastic threads is driven by the central lever of the weft device.
A 4th bar (device on request D4B/600) ensures the production of patterns on the band, with maximum repeat of 12 links: it is controlled by chain links with involute profile that make it possible to work at high speed.
In place of the heddle bar for elastic threads, the grooved elastic thread guiding bar BGE/600 (on request) can be used, being interchangeable. By means of the SET150/600 and SET/2-290 devices (on request), weft movements of up to 150 or 290 mm can be obtained.
On request, the machine can be fitted with a colour touch screen controller (DCF-C-M/C) which allows the user to vary the machine speed, visualize the machine speed in RPM, set the sensitivity (time of permanence of the drop wires on the stop-stems) of weft and warp stop motions separately, and plan a production (pick counter or production unit [m, kg, etc.])
The DCF-C-M/C device requires the machine to be equipped with a special electrical panel, in place of the standard one. The machine will be on show in Istanbul, Turkey, from June 14 – 18, 2022 at the ITM + Hightex Exhibition.
