  • Device and method for producing a UD layer
    Patent number: 8567024
    Abstract: Method and device for producing a unidirectional (UD) layer with a predetermined layer width from a predetermined number of filament strands. The method includes spreading the filament strands out transversely to a longitudinal direction of the UD layer to form bands that are arranged next to one another. A first width of the bands is greater than a dividing width, which corresponds to the predetermined layer width divided by the predetermined number of filament strands.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: November 22, 2010
    Date of Patent: October 29, 2013
    Assignee: Karl Mayer Malimo Textilmaschinenfabrik GmbH

  • Device for feeding fiber bands to a knitting machine
    Patent number: 7458236
    Abstract: A device for feeding fiber bands to a knitting machine, wherein the device includes a creel having at least one bobbin with at least one fiber band. Further, at least one feed drive driving at least one feeder roll, such that the fiber band is guided by the at least one feeder roll. Further still, a band storage including a motor driven control drive arranged to change the length of a variable length storage path for the at least one fiber band, wherein the band storage is arranged between the creel and the at least one feeder roll. A control device actuates the motor driven control drive and the at least one feed drive in a manner coordinated with one another.
