The Comez DNB/EL-800-8B electronic double-needle-bed warp-knitting machine has a working width of 800 mm and has eight electronically driven pattern guide bars. The machine is available in five needle gauges ranging from 5 to 20 needles per inch. Two needle beds, in conjunction with the pattern guide bars, can produce double-faced fabrics that are suitable for outerwear, sportswear, underwear and medical end-uses, among other uses.

The third machine Comez will display at ITM is the CLM 500 weaving needleloom. This machine can be used to produce a wide range of rigid and elastic narrow fabrics and ribbons. Interchangeable components — from eight to 20 heddle frames and the option of from two to eight weaving heads — make the machine versatile depending on the number of ribbons produced.
