The scope of the technologies range from basic machines to sophisticated computer controlled pattenn machine configurations. Different gauges and machine features(attachments) are also formulated from MTC upon request. Some basic machine types are listed below:
1. Cut Pile Machine
2. Level Textured Loop Pile Machine
3. Pattern Loop (Yarn-Tronics or Quick Thread)
4. Cut-Loop(Yarn-Tronics) Machine
5. Loop/Cut(PC/UC or Velv-a-loop) Machine
6. Perma-Stitch Machine
7. Graphics Machine

1. Options for machines that can achieve different carpet constructions include:
a.Command Performance(Servo Automation)
b.Yarn-Tronics(Scroll)
c. Quick Thread (Roll type, servo or clutch)
d.Eccentric roll
2. Shifting attachments for stitch placement:
Sliding Needle Bar,SNB
*Comp-U-Cam
*smartSTEP(Electronic SNB)
*PSP(Positive Stitch Placement) Primary Backing Shifter
MACHINE SIZES:
The nominal machine size is determined by the distance from first to last needle in a standard needle bar. The nominal widths are listed in Chart. All MTC machines have enough extra space to extend the nominal sewing width slightly, slightly,if the customer desires. Small width
machines are manufactured generally for sampling. The machines are designed in such a manner as to allow the user to take knowledge gained on this machine (settings. etc.) and apply it directly to the larger units.
