As long as the textile is electrically conductive, it can be used for heating, cooling and lighting. It can measure heart rate, monitor soil erosion on slopes, and even launch into space as a spatial reflector. The electrical conductivity of warp-knitted textiles has always been an important research content of Karl Mayer. In a project called "textile-circuit", KARL MAYER woven the conductive yarn directly into the textile through a multi-comb raschel machine. The first experimental results have demonstrated the achievable functions of the fabric, including the use of textiles for remote control.

Its original control tools and their production principles have also been successfully demonstrated at the IDTechEx exhibition in Santa Clara in November 2018 and the Aachen-Dresden-Denkendorf International Textile Conference.

Conductive structures without design restrictions can be produced on multi-comb raschel machines. Thanks to KARL MAYER's innovative wire flower comb system, the yarn can be positioned on the base fabric as needed. Depending on the model, the fabric backing can be used for a variety of complex designs. In addition to a wide range of design freedom, warp knitting processes can also maximize efficiency when processing conductive textiles. In addition, the original properties of the fabric, such as softness, flexibility, elasticity and breathability, can also be completely preserved.

At the heart of these innovative electronic textile functions is wire, such as ELITEX®. According to the experience of Karl Mayer textiles developer Sophia Krinner, the multi-comb raschel warp knitting machine can process silver-plated nylon very easily. In addition to ELITEX®, she has tried other fine wire and metal yarns such as Shieldex® and AgsisTM, and has achieved good research results, provided that the flexibility and thickness of the conductive yarn must be adapted to the machine's machine number and basic fabric.
