PROGRAMMABLE BORDER SLITTER

摘要

An apparatus for feeding and slitting soft goods has multiple slitting systems with respective slitting blades (56) mounted on a cross rail (42). A slitting blade positioning system (23) is movable parallel with the cross rail (42) and operable to move slitting systems (22) along the cross rail (42). A material feed motor (134) is connected to a feed roller (132) and operable to move the soft goods past the slitting system. A control (180) is first operable to cause the slitting blade positioning system (23) to move identified slitting systems (22) to desired positions on the cross rail (42). Thereafter, the control (180) operates a drive shaft motor (450) to rotate slitting blades (56) mounted on the drive shaft (52) and the material feed motor (134), thereby moving the soft goods past the slitting blades (56).
