Karl Mayer, Germany’s leading supplier of machines and equipment for producing textile structures for reinforcing composites, displayed its latest range of composite machinery at the JEC World 2017 expo, an international composites event, held at Paris, from March 14 to 16, 2017. The company opened a whole new range of multiaxial textiles at the show.
Hagen Lotzmann, the sales manager of Karl Mayer said, “At the expo, we spoke to all of our most important clients in Paris, most of whom were also exhibiting at the show. We also made many new contacts, mainly from European companies.”Karl Mayer, Germany's leading supplier of machines and equipment for producing textile structures for reinforcing composites, displayed its latest range of composite machinery at the JEC World 2017 expo, an international composites event, held at Paris, from March 14 to 16, 2017.

The conversations mainly focused on machines for producing multiaxial textiles. The company can supply the BIAXTRONIC CO and COP BIAX 2 for producing biaxial textiles. The COP MAX machines are also available for producing multiaxial reinforcing structures: the flexible COP MAX 4 can produce multi-layered, multiaxial textiles with angles of +20° to -20°, and the COP MAX 5 is designed specifically for processing carbon fibres. Very thin, homogeneous structures with extremely low weights can be produced on the machine.
The company also discussed the UD 500 and UD 700 systems for spreading and equalising the fibre tapes. These can process continuous filament yarns made from carbon, as well as from glass and aramid. Multiaxial glass-fibre textiles are used mainly in the blades of wind turbines.
Many discussions were held with representatives and suppliers from the automotive and aerospace sectors. A number of new development trends could be detected during the course of the conversations, and the picture of a highly innovative sector emerged. (GK)
