Counting unit: UNICONT system

“The UNICONT system, patented by FKgroup in 1982 (patent N5479C), has revolutionised spreading in the cutting room. Before UNICONT, a lay with separate sizes was always spread in ‘single steps’, i.e. with the same number of plies per size, or in ‘gradual steps’, i.e. with a decreasing number of plies per size. From the 1980s on, the production of ‘made-to-measure’ garments led to the need to spread lays with separate sizes in ‘random steps’, where the sequence of plies/colours spread per size coincided with the customer’s order. Thanks to UNICONT, short for ‘Counting Unit’, for over 40 years it has been possible to spread any type of lay in fully automatic mode, as can be seen in the picture below (…even ‘skipping’ a size!).”
