Stoll Diversifies CMS Family With 703 KI Knit And Wear

Stoll has further diversified the offering of its CMS family by launching the CMS 703 KI, which is a knit and wear model for the production of finished articles.

The new model offers many benefits through the proven, innovative technology features from Stoll like highest productivity, and above all, the unmatched high flexibility of all knit and wear models.

“It can produce both fully fashion and finished articles, opening up more leeway in terms of size design and all this at low investment costs,” a Karl Mayer Group press release informed.

“Thus, the cost effective CMS 703 KI knit and wear is the right choice when it comes to the productive production of high-quality seamless knitwear with a wide size range,” the German company added.

“The interest in Asia is high. With a working width of 72″/183 cm, manufacturers can ideally cover the common size range of local consumers,” Stoll Sales Manager Michael Händel said.

“Nevertheless, we also receive many inquiries from other parts of the world, especially from Latin America,” he added.

The CMS 703 KI knit and wear is available with a working width of 72 inches or 183 cms and a gauge range from E 6.2 to 10.2.

In terms of technology, the new flat knitting machine scores particularly well with the Multiflex take-down from Stoll, which offers improved width fixation of the knitwear.

The high reduction of fabric faults and costs, as well as a uniform loop structure and a clear texture are also achieved thanks to the spring-loaded latch needles used as standard in all Stoll machines.

A well-thought-out design ensures that transferring processes are reliably realised and that the needles are securely closed even when processing many threads or bulky yarns.

The use of needle brushes ensures that empty needles in particular can be opened just as reliably. A smaller latch projection also enables tighter knitting.

As a representative of the Knitelligence machine generation, the CMS 703 KI can be fully integrated into automated and digitised processes.

A particular advantage for use under unstable production conditions is the uninterrupted power supply (UPS) of the machine.

In case of a power failure, battery buffering of the CPU cards for up to 90 seconds and a controlled shutdown of the operation afterwards prevent damage to the manufactured goods.

The new CMS 703 KI also scores additional points in handling. A multi-touch panel allows operation in a smartphone-like manner, and a screen with a wide viewing angle allows a view from any position on the machine.

Moreover, maintenance effort is low. Based on Stoll’s long-proven, traditionally high-quality technology, the CMS 703 KI impresses with extremely reliable operation and tailored for lower budgets.
