Memminger IRO: Yarn feeding, control
systems and lubrication technology for knitting machines |
 |
|
When it comes to leading-edge processing technology for yarn
feeding, control systems and lubrication technology for knitting
machines, MEMMINGER-IRO is one of the market leaders in its
field. MEMMINGER-IRO presented following latest products: |
Spray Lubricator PJ ELF
PJ ELF is the latest development of UNIWAVE spray lubricators.
The air consumption of this new PJ ELF is 30 – 50% lower than
existing spray oilers on the market. This leads to a significant
reduction of maintenance cost.
Special nozzles reduce oil fog in the knitting room to a
minimum. The focus is lead on easy handling combined with
integrating many function control devices such as pressure
switch and relief valve.

Yarn Sensor MIS
The self learning sensor system MIS controls permanently all
yarns on knitting machines. It can be applied to all kind of
yarns. The main features are:
- MIS detects 3 yarn status: moving, stand still and
present yarns.
- MIS checks before the knitting cycle if all necessary
yarns are present. Otherwise the knitting cycle cannot be
started. This results in a dramatic increase of the machine
efficiency. Furthermore the cost which rises in connection
with material wastage can be reduced dramatically.
- The sensor has very fast reaction times and can therefore
be used to monitor small patterns, too. Control rows at and
the end of the knitting cycle are no longer necessary.

Knitting machine controller
NAVIGATOR
The NAVIGATOR is a modular system incorporates to run a large
diameter knitting machine.
Depending on customer demand MEMMINGER-IRO can supply only
the controller and distribution board as the minimum
configuration as well as the complete set which incorporates
additionally all cables, push buttons, inverter, power unit and
other parts.
The main idea is to implement all machine parts from the
feeders to the take down system into one machine controller
designed by MEMMINGER-IRO.

Innovations and outstanding features:
- Can be built in new machines and second hand machines.
- Quick installation through “plug and play”.
- User friendly menu.
- Integrated connection of several MEMMINGER-IRO products
e.g. lubricator, fabric scanner, yarn consumption control
unit, motor drive belt system and others.
- The machine controller can be installed on any large
diameter circular knitting machine.
If all machines in a knitting room are equipped with this
kind of machine controller, it is very convenient for the
knitting machine operator due to only having one system instead
of several different..
Needle controller MNC 2
MNC 2 detects broken or bent needles at large diameter
circular knitting machines.

MNC2 Terminal. |
The system can be adapted on machines up to gauge 44
respectively speed factor 1.500.
It supports a lot the reduction of second grade fabric
because the optical sensor stops the machine immediately in case
of broken or bent needle.
|

MNC 2 Sensor: The needle sensor emits and receives
infrared light via a fibre optic cable and monitors needle
condition in a knitting system. |
