KARL MAYER will take part in this year’s JEC Composite Show from 13 to 15 April 2010 at the Saxon shared exhibition stand – offering a considerably extended performance range. Under the motto „Composite know-how straight from the fibre to the structural component" this leading machinery builder will be showing his expertise in the production of machines for layer fabrics as well as of fibre-reinforced precision composite components.
KARL MAYER has recently launched its Malitronic^® MULTIAXIAL machine intended for the efficient and gentle processing of glass fibres. This machine combines a clearly increased performance with higher operator convenience, supplying layer fabrics of excellent, reproducible quality – via Ethernet interface also worldwide. Moreover, KARL MAYER sets new standards in the processing of carbon fibres. In this area, the company is increasingly involved in the development of machines as well as of technologies.
Fibre-reinforced quality composites used in KARL MAYER’s machines also guarantee a high-tech standard of the respective products. The driving force in this respect is the CFRP Competence Centre that was set up in 2008.
This innovative department develops system-integrated and easily adaptable solutions made of technical fibres also offered to external interested parties. The performance features of the developments are as follows:

• integrated functionality
• complex structures
• high degree of substitution for conventional solutions
• profile part lengths of up to 7 metres
• well-defined thermal expansion coefficient adjustable within the negative and positive value ranges, including zero
• excellent fatigue resistance
• low density and mass
• „Plug-and-play" design

During the JEC show KARL MAYER will already be displaying components ready for serial production. Moreover, information material and competent dialogue partners will be waiting for the visitors interested in the Malitronic^® MULTIAXIAL machine.
