Five-Needle-Flatseamer for processing of technical textiles

The four-needle interlock sewing machine, a result of collaboration between Kansai Special and FISCHER AUTOMATION, is a sewing machine made for seaming textiles with high demands on seam quality and tear resistance of the seams.

The solution

The fine and even seam meets the elevated strength requirements of athletic clothing and underwear, to name two examples.

The benefits

By modifying the interlock sewing machine according to individual customer desires, we are able to offer a machine tailored to any use. Possible uses include the attachment of adhesive tapes to bandages and medical stockings as well as elastic waistbands and lacy edges on underwear.
The top feed of the interlock sewing machine improves seam quality significantly through even sewing, especially when used with silicone-covered adhesive tapes.

Intensified competition, high quality demands, and increases in production call for implementation of the latest technology.

This also leads to customer demands on our robotic sewing systems such as high speeds, flexible operating ranges with large spatial ranges, safe operation, and flexible, functional add-ons.

FISCHER AUTOMATION has been developing and manufacturing these specific robotic sewing systems according to individual customer requirements on the basis of high-performance industrial robots since the 1990s.

The solution

FISCHER AUTOMATION,s high-performance robotic sewing system is tailored to the customer,s tasks and enables tangential edge sewing with high repeat accuracy. High-performance components provide for maximum production speeds. The compact and modular design makes it easy to perform changeovers between different product groups.

The benefits

There are many advantages to using our robotic sewing system:

• Shortened production times due to the use of high-performance industrial robots
• Improved quality due to high repeat accuracy
• Less wasted material
• Savings due to simultaneous operation of several workstations by one operator
• Boost in production flexibility
• Increased production performance

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

Individual machines or complete production lines
Material thickness: up to max. 20 mm depending on the machine
Variety of options, such as driven roller presser foot, geared puller etc.

FISCHER AUTOMATION,s automated labeling solution integrates all the steps in the labeling process. The individual steps of printing, cutting, dispensing and sewing are brought together in a unified, automated labeling process that is independent of lot size.

The solution

This automated labeling machine is distinguished by the following
functions:

• One- or two-sided printed labels – thermotransfer printing
• Label is automatically cut to length, fed to the sewing area, and fastened
• Looped or flag-type labels
• Cutting options include cold, hot, and ultrasonic cutting to prevent unraveling of the label
• Attachment of labels to any textile product with freely programmable bar tacking or spot tacking

Tacking machines are also available from various manufacturers and will be procured and installed according to the customer,s wishes.
In addition, labels can be fed from the roll instead of the printer.
A height-adjustable stand allows for ergonomic adaptation to the work environment. An optional barcode scanner makes it possible to automatically scan in orders for any number of labels, starting from one.

The benefits

By attaching individually printed labels to textiles in a single process, FISCHER AUTOMATION,s automated labeling machine brings superior flexibility to the process. The added value is obvious:

• Substantial time savings in regard to labeling
• Greater production flexibility
• Increased production performance
• Automated labeling for lot sizes as small as 1, e.g. for made-to-measure garments

Technical specifications

Maximum label width: 40 mm, wider labels are an optional possibility
Standard sewing area: 40 mm x 30 mm, larger areas are optional
