A highlight of the machine show in Changzhou was the topic of knit & wear. In the seamless knitting of sweaters, eliminating almost all downstream finishing processes, STOLL is setting standards in terms of patterning possibilities and price/performance, as demonstrated by the ADF 830-24 ki W knit & wear and CMS 830 ki knit & wear. The ADF model is designed for the high-level market segment and implements innovative fashion patterns with inverse plating and Intarsia among other things, which cannot be easily copied. With its production versatility and flexibility, the machine particularly impressed the brand manufacturers from the high-end segment in Changzhou. The CMS-version manufactures for the basic-level volume market and scores with an extremely good price/performance ratio. New to the in-house show was gauge E 10.2.

The CMS 830 ki knit & wear with the new gauge allows customers to participate in the lucrative but highly competitive market of fine knit & and wear articles in the future. As a further contribution to automation, an ADF machine with a knitrobotic kit was presented for the first time in Asia. The robotic functions make it possible to integrate materials and parts into the knitted product without manual intervention. As one example, an everyday mask was produced during the in-house show, with the nose bracket inserted fully automatically. The performance show inspired numerous new application ideas.

An innovation for the creative process was presented with the new Connective Pattern Software (STOLL-CPS). The solution combines a full-featured, advanced programming system with an easy-to-learn user interface and significantly expands knitting possibilities. Features include an authentic fabric view, many smart tools and open interfaces that allow CPS to be perfectly embedded in upcoming digital workflows. Among the most important advantages of Stoll-CPS is the reduction of time-to-market. With an integrated grading system, additional sizes or size approaches can be created quickly and changes can be made across all sizes and/or patterns in a project in the shortest possible time. As an inspiration for designers and product developers, the current Stoll collection “Faster from Concept to Store” showed which creations can be realised with knitelligence software solutions and how complex designer pieces can be transformed into commercially producible goods for the mass market through small changes.
