AUTOMAT ZUM DAEMPFEN UND SCHNEIDEN GESTRICKTER STOFFE

摘要

The machine is provided with two cloth supporting tables 5, 6 movable on a supporting frame 41 so that each can be positioned in either a laying out area 41a or a cutting out area 41b. Table 5 can be lowered, e.g. by fluid cylinders 10 and moved lengthwise by e.g. a fluid cylinder 14, the table 6 being simply slid lengthwise. Laying out can thus take place in area 41a whilst cutting out is executed in area 41b by a rotary disc 7a supported for rotation about a vertical axis by a carriage 7 movable transversely to the corresponding cloth table, along a bridge 9 in turn longitudinally movable with respect to said cloth tables. The movements of the bridge, the carriage and the shears are controlled by a control unit provided with a self-learning software so that a first manually-guided cutting-out operation can subsequently be reproduced automatically. Exhaust means 22, 23 are associated with the cutter 7 and a steam distributor 15 spanning the tables is movable lengthwise of area 41b. <IMAGE>
