WHAT THE PRODUCT OWNER SAYS

 

"Our latest generation of 4-bar tricot machines with electronic guide bar control was not only upgraded with our state-of the-art control system, but also integrated additional customer-friendly features – such as the spring motion assistant and our direct drive main motor, that increases the machines energy efficiency. Both technologies are already used in our 3-bar ON-series, and appreciated by our customers."
