5 key reasons to create Axminster samples with Kibby G6

As the only machine of its kind, Kibby G6.300 (‘the Kibby’) can produce samples of Axminster carpets renowned for their complex patterns and colour combinations. The capability extends to replicating Wire Wilton carpets up to 450 reed, as well as Colortec and high-density Axminster.

The Kibby machine's design emphasises precision and quality. It is specifically engineered to deal with the nuanced requirements of carpets that demand crisp patterns and high-density weaves. Such attributes are crucial for creating high-quality, aesthetically pleasing samples that match production quality. The machine's capacity to handle complex designs aligns well with industry demands for customisation and enables the product development and sales process to excel.

Kibby's unique capabilities result from Modra Technology's focus on finding innovative solutions. It not only aids in producing standard designs but also empowers designers to experiment with new patterns and colours without compromising on quality. The Kibby brings significant advancements in carpet sampling creation, and this flexibility is a game-changer for carpet manufacturers seeking to stand out in a competitive market.

Modra Technology's Kibby offers a tool that revolutionises the sampling design and creation process, helping manufacturers reduce lead times and improve efficiency. This is particularly valuable in a market where the ability to produce high-quality prototypes quickly and with multiple colour variations of the same design, can significantly influence client decisions and market success. In summary, the Kibby is a pivotal development for professionals in the carpet industry, offering a blend of versatility, precision, and durability that is unmatched by any other carpet sampling machine currently available.

 

5 key features the Kibby brings to Axminster carpet sampling creation

 

1. Multitude of Pegboards

The pegboard range available with this machine allows for versatility and accommodates a wide range of yarn weights and densities. By matching the pegboard to the required finished density and specific characteristics of different yarns, the Kibby ensures accurate pattern reproduction and a quality finish, which is critical for maintaining the integrity of complex carpet designs.

 

2. Ease of use

Required mechanical adjustments have been kept to a minimum, which means less operator intervention is needed. Once set up, the Kibby can run unattended, enhancing production efficiency

 

3. Up to 20 Colours in one design

One of the standout features of this technology is its ability to incorporate up to 20 different colours in a single design. This capability is particularly impressive and crucial for producing vibrant and detailed designs that meet the aesthetic demands of modern interiors. Using multiple colours in intricate patterns allows for the unlimited creation of rich, visually appealing carpet samples sure to impress your customers.

 

4. One hour creation

Additionally, the rapid production capability of this machine is noteworthy. It is possible to produce a sample of an Axminster carpet within just an hour. This speed dramatically reduces the turnaround time for sample production, enabling faster design iteration and quicker responses to market trends and client requests. For manufacturers, this means enhanced agility in product development and the ability to expedite the decision-making process with clients, who can approve designs and initiate full-scale production much more quickly.

 

5. One Design, Multiple Colours

Combining the 20 colour variations and fast sample production brings exciting opportunities for product development. It allows a manufacturer to show a customer one design but in a variety of ways. Subtle colour combinations can be explored and produced in a very short timeframe, allowing the sales process to be completed with unparalleled speed and flexibility.

Overall, the Kibby exemplifies a significant technological advancement in the carpet manufacturing industry, combining high-quality sampling capabilities with efficiency and versatility. It is designed to meet the evolving needs of modern carpet manufacturers, enabling them to produce exquisite samples, reduce lead times, and improve operational efficiency.
