An improved machine for attaching fasteners to textiles or other foundation or substrate material is disclosed. The disclosed machine has changeable, modular tool assemblies and hopper assemblies that provide error-free attachment of fasteners, and rapid change of fastener tools and parts, during operation. The machine also has a drive assembly with a minimum of working parts, mounted onto a single panel so as to provide easy access for maintenance, troubleshooting and repair. The machine has a microprocessor-driven control system and a multi-frequency inverter that automate the operation at variable settings and speeds. Other unique features include a means of detecting "brown-out" conditions, a tamper-resistant safety mechanism, a laser guide for aligning work-pieces, and a telescoping pedestal and ergonomic footrest for height and comfort adjustment. |
