*US Patent #8,215,248 and #7,222,576
• Each end of yarn is controlled by its own DACS cut or loop mechanism which yields a full machine’s width pattern repeat
• Equal and consistent yarn feed and consumption so yarn can be delivered via beams or creel.
• Available in 1/8th gauge or 1/10th gauge configuration.
• Optional: V-Tech, Variable Gauge Technology for tufting multiple gauge densities with no machine changeovers.
• Available with Tuftco’s Agility Needle Drive System for quick stroke change
• Ideal for hospitality, commercial, carpet tile, rug and residential markets.
• Includes Tuftworx operating software powered by Microsoft Windows.
By adding Tuftco’s iTuft pattern attachment to our patented LCL DACS (Double Acting Cylinder System) residential and hospitality carpet and rugs are taken to the next level. Multiple layers of loop pile and cut pile are integrated so distinct yarn colors can be isolated for more innovative and modern pattern possibilities.
• Level Cut-Loop (LCL) plus an iTuft pattern attachment
• Multi-Level Cut Loop combines iTuft with Tuftco’s proprietary DACS System to achieve greater patterning and textural capability.
• Available with full repeat single-end control (1E), iTuft 2E (dual patternrepeats), or iTuft 4E (quad repeats).
• Available in 1/8” gauge and 1/10” gauge.
• Includes Tuftworx operating software powered by Microsoft Windows
• Optional: V-Tech, Variable Gauge Technology for tufting multiple gauge densities with no machine changeovers.
• Available with Tuftco’s Agility Needle Drive System for quick stroke change
