In cooperation with Cetex, Siemens, and Elau Marktheidenfeld, Karl Mayer Malimo developed the P2-2S stitch bonding machine for composite fabrics, the RS 2(3) MSUS raschel stitch bonding machine for monoaxial or biaxial fabrics, and the 14024 multiaxial raschel stitch bonding machine for multilayered fabrics. Features include a minimal number of deflection points in the yarn feeder, optimized yarn tension control devices, optimal machine stability, special methods for cutting filling yarns, servo motors, and screened electronic components. These machines are suitable for processing such high performance fibers as glass fibers and carbon fibers.
