Mayer & Cie. is able to back this ambitious claim with a series of decisive benefits endorsed primarily by the customers themselves. While the company may not have been the first to market with a gauge 50 machine, it may lay claim to absolute reliability in the practical day-to-day manufacture of this type of ultra-high gauge fabric on MCT machines.

This applies analogously to the new OVJA 1.1 TTRB, which knits fully fashioned articles with welt. Mayer & Cie.’s ability to achieve this with absolute row precision is down to the automatically controlled powered takedown system
which works with far greater precision than conventional force-driven takedown systems. These powered MCT takedown systems are also available for all other Mayer & Cie. circular knitting machines. (Picture1 / Picture 2)

A consistently high standard of quality is also guaranteed by the combined Jacquard and positive feeder CONI SEP.
This is a comprehensive yarn supply and monitoring system for all types of yarns including synthetics. Yarn feed takes place without tension to an absolute standard of precision.

Quality and reproducibility are closely linked attributes. At Mayer & Cie. reproducibility is guaranteed not only within one and the same machine, but also for transmission to other Mayer & Cie. machines of the same type. Customers confirm repeatedly that this is a benefit specific to Mayer which can naturally only be achieved with the proviso of absolutely reliable, uniform quality across every aspect of machine production.

Mayer & Cie. also sets an exemplary standard in terms of delivery reliability. While competitors prefer to accumulate jobs to permit more economical small-series machine production, or adapt standard pre-produced machines to address customer requirements, Mayer & Cie. manufactures each machine specifically to order with a guaranteed
delivery date. Each machine is passed together with the customer order to the production department and individually manufactured. This may be financially less lucrative, but guarantees the customer a no-compromise machine on a binding agreed delivery date. This allows the knitting factory to adhere punctually to its delivery obligations and meet its order potential reliably to the satisfaction of its customers.

While ceramic yarn carriers are largely a standard feature of modern knitting machines, permitting the reliable processing of modern synthetic yarns as well as conventional fibre yarns, manufacturer-specific problems make it extremely difficult to supply ceramic yarn feeders for universal application. Mayer & Cie. has succeeded in overcoming these difficulties and is now able to produce ceramic yarn carriers with such a high degree of precision that they can be used for practically any application requirement.

Electronic individual needle selection with one magnet per feeder, a Mayer & Cie. development, remains the most reliable solution for electronic pattern selection. The MCT solution is so advanced that Mayer & Cie. is able to provide a full three-year warranty on its development. (Picture 5)
Stripes are fully in vogue, with fashion markets demanding a wide variety of colour. Mayer & Cie. offers 5-colour striping with one feeder and 10 colour striping with two feeders – also in conjunction with elastomer.

Data processing is increasingly becoming an established feature of day-to-day production in modern circular knitting factories. While in most cases RS 232/485 interfaces are offered for networking circular knitting machines, Mayer & Cie. offers the substantially faster RJ 45 Ethernet interface. In conjunction with the new MDA.Web software, it is now possible to read in all electronically monitored machine elements. All essential data relating to operation, output, productivity etc. of importance for production can be simply and quickly accessed.

It is conversely also possible to transmit pattern data to the machine. MDA runs in conjunction with Internet Explorer and Netscape. Each machine is assigned its own IP address, allowing selective data evaluation. Using FTP access, remote evaluations and data transmission are possible anywhere around the world.
