摘要

PURPOSE: A finishing apparatus for a slide fastener is provided to have general versatility in which a slider is automatically inserted by only a one-time operation by fingers using a single apparatus. CONSTITUTION: The finishing apparatus includes left and right gripper devices(110) for holding left and right tip side portions of a slide fastener chain, transferring the fastener chain in a longitudinal direction and opening and closing the left and right tip side portions in a Y-axis direction orthogonal to an X-axis direction based on a command sent from operation controller. An electric motor(117) is provided to controllably drive the left and right gripper devices in the X and Y axis direction of the gripper devices. A slider is automatically inserted by only a specified operation using a single device without preparing a special device for all types of fastener chains and sliders.
