Description
How the machine’s modules work:
Feeding Station
![]() |
Feeding Size: Max. width of pieces: 1200mm (47″) Min. width of pieces: 200mm (7 ¾”) Max. length of pieces: 1200mm (47″) Min. length of pieces: 200mm (7 ¾”) |
Feeding is done by one operator. Pieces are pulled on the feeding conveyor belt.
- Feeding belt start by photocell or start button
- Quality sorting button
- Vacuum below feeding conveyor belts
- Adjustable laser beam at the in-feed with scale (position can be individually stored according to the program)
Lateral Fold Station A
Lateral fold A is accomplished by folding templates and folding sliders. The width of the pieces can be folded to a half, a third or a quarter of the original dimension. With the Bypass function the pieces can pass through the machine without folding. Left and right sleeves of the apparel are folded by 2 independent folding brush and sliders. Long sleeves must be manually pre-folded while feeding the product.
- Automatic adjustable templates
- Air cylinder for conical folding
- Conical folding adjustable in program
- Stroke of folding slider adjustable
- 2 brush devices for sleeve folding
- Sleeve positioning adjustable in program
- Bypass of station adjustable
- Measuring by Foto sensor
- Programmable
- Supervision for transport & process
- Min. template width: 130mm (5″) / Max. template width: 350mm (13 3/4″). Other sizes only upon request.
Cross Fold Stations A & B
The cross fold is accomplished according to the principle of the swing arm. A mechanical folding arm swings the fabric over adjustable folding bars. During the folding product will be continually stretched. The folding bars are fully automatically adjusted in height, according to the thickness of the product. Included:
- Swing arm
- Set of folding bars with automatic height adjustment
- Transport
- Bypass of station adjustable
- Leading & trailing edge measurement
- Adjustable program
- Supervision for transport & process
Feeding Size:
- Max. length of the pieces: 1200mm (47″)
- Min. length of the pieces: 200mm (7 3/4″)
- Other sizes only upon request
Roll-off Stacker
The folded item will be transported over integrated transport belts. The roll-off table is stacking the items on top of a lowering table. Transport belts discharge the stacking pile to the 1m roller conveyor.
Safety Light Curtain
The safety light curtain with IEC and EN standard (IEC 61496-1, EN 61496-1) guarantees fast and safety access to the cross fold stations.
Control Panel
Control panel for human machines interface HMI is a 15″ color touchscreen with keyboard and mouse. The control panel grants access to all user manuals, spare parts catalogues as well as electro- and pneumatic-schemata.
Electrical Control Cabinet
The electrical control cabinet contains all electrical controls like the power supply, PC-control system, all servo and inverters drives. Consisting of:
- IPC system
- Frequency converter
- Beckhoff bus system ether-CAT
Control System
Industrial PC-System for the control and the supervision of the total course with Beckhoff TwinCAT based on Microsoft-Windows. Consisting of:
- Beckhoff TwinCAT system
- IPC-system based on Microsoft-Windows
- 40,000 program spaces
- remote access via internet integration
