Abstract
The production of warp-knitted semi-finished products is based on classical warp knitting processes, in which warp yarns of one or several groups are simultaneously and parallelly transformed into loops. This basic principle is used to connect yarn layers and/or other fabrics, such as nonwovens or pre-impregnated fiber layers by means of these loops. The main advantages of warp-knitted semi-finished products are their highly productive manufacture, the adjustability of the angles at which the individual yarn layers can be arranged respective to one another, and the versatile combinations of layer structuring and layer arrangement. Typical products are made from glass or carbon filament yarns and find applications in rotors in wind energy plants, in boat and vehicle construction, sports equipment, and construction.
