Stäubli Invites Sock Knitters to D4S Experience Days

Automation solutions to shorten the sock knitting process

In many mills, closing the toe is done manually or using a sewing machine after manual intervention by the operator. This takes time and compromises quality. Stäubli’s D4S automatic toe closing device changes all this.  Based on an ingenious and completely new idea, it links the sock directly on the knitting machine. It guarantees highest quality, uniformity of the product, and very short downtimes. The socks are unloaded on the fly. The automatic sock pick-up and seaming operations are electronically controlled. Available for sock machines from 8 to 19 gauges, the D4S with its very compact design is easy to install and offers decisive advantages in production efficiency and cost savings.

In addition to the D4S device, the product range shows the 2900 SL electronic controller. It serves for circular knitting machines used to produce hosiery goods, socks, woollen stockings, pantyhose, and medium-to-large diameter knitted goods in various sectors. The 2900 SL controller also includes CAD graphic software for pattern programming, interfaces, remote control, and machine monitoring. It is driven by a Linux-based operating system.
