MULTI GAUGE-CLASS 

GAUGES IN EVERY VARIATION

FLEXIBILITY YOU 

CAN GRASP. HERE ARE 

THE RESULTS! 

In the future, flexibility is the recipe for success. Trends change at a breathtaking 

rate, the requirements for quality and creativity are constantly more 

demanding and the time factor is becoming increasingly important. It’s a good 

thing you can prepare ideally for the future with a CMS from our Multi Gauge- 

Class utilizing the patented Stoll-multi gauges ® knitting technology. 

Coarse knitwear today, fine tomorrow? No problem! With a flat knitting 

machine from Stoll you are ideally equipped for requirements of this kind. 

With one and the same machine you will knit fabrics in various gauges without 

needle exchange or gauge conversion! Your advantages: high utilization of 

the machine pool, great investment security, fast reaction to fashion trends 

and large order quantities. 

And various gauges in one and the same fabric, horizontally in one knitting 

row or vertically arranged? With Stoll machines you realize fascinating 

pattern effects, primarily due to the interaction of coarse and fine, transparent 

and opaque areas. With Stoll-applications ® you also eliminate a large 

part of the make-up process, e. g. with knitted-on trimmings, pockets and 

collar solutions. And during this different gauges can even be realized within 

the applications.

knitted-on collar. Pockets knitted through 

Stoll-applications ® technique.

WHATEVER THE FUTURE 

HOLDS IN STORE – WITH 

OUR MULTI GAUGE-CLASS 

WE ALREADY HAVE THE 

MACHINES FOR IT TODAY. 

With the Stoll-multi gauges ® knitting technology you realize all basic knitting 

modes, as well as jacquard, structures (aran, cables etc.) and intarsia. Particularly 

varied fabrics are obtained by combining the different knitting modes. And it’s 

especially easy to knit intarsia patterns with Stoll machines*. Just slide on the 

intarsia yarn feeders and knit unusual patterns in no time – without expensive 

special machines or time-consuming conversions. 

With our tandem machines of the Multi Gauge-Class, the CMS 822 multi gauge, 

the CMS 922 multi gauge and the CMS 933 multi gauge, you are not only 

exceptionally flexible, you’re also extremely productive – these are available 

with a working width of 84"/213 cm respectively 96"/244 cm. 

But a true CMS can do even more: The rapid carriage return considerably 

shortens knitting times, the ergonomic design simplifies working and the perfect 

yarn guidance ensures a flawless stitch appearance and high operating safety. 

Many details and Stoll-touchcontrol ® make operation easier, and perfect 

finishing minimizes downtimes. All in all those are exceptional results.

and the 3 systems enables you to realize even the 

most demanding patterns extremely economically 

with this machine. 


The economic miracle – The CMS 822 multi gauge 

tandem machine knits two pieces simultaneously 

with a working width of 2 x 42"/2 x 107 cm, and with 

coupled carriages up to 84"/213 cm are available. 

The gauge spectrum ranges from E 2,5.2 to E 9.2.
