Machine for making rosettes - has continuous stapling section sepd. from intermittent weldingg and cutting section by a buffer zone

摘要

A ribbon for making rosettes is made of several layers and has at least one base strip with spaced narrow sections and a narrow pull strip. During manufacture, a stapler fits a clip at the narrow sections after which the ribbon enters a cutting and welding device via a buffer zone. A feeder forwards the ribbon in steps to a width detector which controls a welding head and a cutter according to the spaced narrow sections. The feeder can be continuous and the stapler can be mounted on a movable carriage. USE/ADVANTAGE - The buffer zone before the step feeder allows the whole machine to operate continuously with high throughput.
