Method of controlling the operation of applying a succession of discrete coupling elements.

摘要

A method of controlling the operation of applying discrete coupling elements (E) one at a time onto a stringer tape (T), which comprises counting the number N1 of coupling elements (E) entering a chute (13) and comparing the number N1 thus counted with the number R of revolutions of a motor (M) driving a means (21) of applying the elements (E) to the tape (T) thereby incessantly monitoring the inventory Nc of the elements (E) in the chute (13).
