Engineering
The full range of development skills
Special purpose machines
As part of the KERN-LIEBERS group, KERN-LIEBERS Textile has full access to the central special purpose machine engineering department, where we develop a range of different production facilities for the production of everything from knitting elements and needles to sinkers and assemblies and ensure that the supporting processes of quality assurance are in place with customized test equipment.
In addition to purely mechanical solutions, there is also a high proportion of modern CNC and PLC controlled machines. The designs are engineered in teams with our production planners. The engineering department draws on the expertise of our in-house electronics department and its system programmers, with support from the purchasing department in the procurement process for external components.
Fully automatic assembly systems with in-line process control at high cycle frequencies.
Examples of current assembly applications
- Laser welding
- Pressing
- Riveting
Packaging systems to customer requirements such as
- Customer blister
- Bulk goods in PE bags
- Magazines
Development of fully automated measuring and testing equipment for 100% final inspection at high cycle frequencies. We can provide all of the latest measuring and testing technologies.
Examples of implemented measuring systems and test systems in the production of knitting machine components:
- Inspection using vision systems
- Tactile measuring systems, precision in the micron range
- Force-displacement measuring systems
- Non-contact displacement measuring systems (capacitive and inductive)
- Light-section processes
