Biomedical Knitting Technologies for Medical Applications

Tricot Warp Knitting

Flat warp knit fabrics up to 130” wide
Design capability from 1 to 4 guide bars, all electronically controlled through an on machine HMI, or remotely networked through CAD knitting software
Servo motor controlled warp beam let-off and fabric take-up systems for precise tension control throughout the fabric formation process
Fine gauge knitting needles for high density, low profile fabric production
Infinite pattern repeat length to design highly engineered fabrics with regions of specialized physical and mechanical properties
Embedded quality control features including laser stop motions to detect single yarn breaks and dropped stitch defects

Circular Warp Knitting

Small diameter tubular fabric offering a range of stitch configurations and densities
Dual headed machinery to maximize production output at commercialization
Tension controlled take-up traverse winders to deliver product to post-treatment free from distortion
Adjacent creel with individual yarn tensioners and stop motions to ensure uniform yarn tension during the knitting cycle
Design pattern flexibility to engineer radial compliance and axial stretch to client specifications
