Sewing machines for heavy textiles
Description
Many industrial textiles that are designed to endure extreme stresses impose high processing requirements on sewing machines. These machines, in their structure and properties, must be set up to handle the heavy product weights. Heat-resistant and flame-retardant fabrics or geotextiles, such as those used for erosion control on hillsides or for underground work, are generally very heavy.
The solution
FISCHER AUTOMATION systems are tailored to meet the customer’s requirements for the production of custom textiles and materials for the construction, plastics, automotive, and leather industries. The extremely flat butt seams can also be processed in an airtight and watertight manner in an additional operation using a tape device.
This prevents media from escaping through the perforations created by the needles, for example. Textiles can also be sewn with overlapped seams as an alternative. Individual workstations or even complete production lines can be developed and built.
The benefits
The machine technology enables safe, simple, and quick processing of extremely resilient, heavy textiles and materials.
Technical specifications
