Knotex's warp tying machine, System Knot Control, features a dialogue-oriented control system guide that allows the operator to take advantage of the machine's control, information, and memory capabilities without special training or knowiedge of data processing. The control system has enough memory to store 1,000 repeats. It also features a real-time clock and calendar, halogen illumination, and a maintenance-free, 24-volt, direct current motor. Parameters can be transferred directly to a personal computer for statistical analysis, or repeat processing information can be stored in the personal computer and transferred to the tying machine.
