Everchanging trends, new patterns, new yarn, new styles, and new shapes
characterize the rapidly developing world of fashion.

Flexible and productive operation is the condition for man and machine to
keep a successful position on the fashion market. With our products we have created a new machine concept which enables you to knit better, faster, and more efficiently.

Your requirements determine our thoughts and actions - "Whatever you knit".

Fully-Fashion
Fully-fashioned fabrics entire jerseys, caps or integral fabrics. The flexible machine concept of the MC-800 series ensures fast conversion for a large number of production possibilities. Due to the short conversion times for machines of the MC-800 series, you can knit fully-fashioned fabrics today, and fabrics for technicalapplications tomorrow.

Technical fabrics
Car seat covers or fabrics for medical applications. The 3D capabilities of the MC-800 machines enables knitting tubes and loops on the covers of seat and back- rest. The pattern appearance of the seat covers can be adapted to the customer’s wishes without problems.

Complex knitting
The selective stitch length which can be program-
med with an accuracy of a single needle for stitch and tuck loop breaks the limits of dynamic stitch length, thus setting new standards for pattern design.
The five-way technique for knitting and the four-way technique for transferring make it possible to realize complex knitting structures, and to produce them in an efficient way. Intarsia patterns as well as fully-fashion garments with a complete cable-V-neck knitted up to the last needle can be easily produced with the selective stitch control. The maximum floating distance of 2 inches enables production of new interesting patterns.

Sophisticated patterns
The extravagant design ideas of today will become the dominating factors for the international knitwear fashion of tomorrow. Take advantage of the possibilities offered by Universal, and comply with your customers’ wishes for new and sophisticated patterns.
Due to the patented five-way technique, you can, for example, efficiently knit a cable in the waistband with short and long stitches alternately.

Yarn
You have a free hand in selecting the yarn for knitting. You can go along with the wishes of your customers and designers. Metal yarn and elastic yarn can be processed in the same professional way as bouclé yarn or chenille yarn.
