Special Purpose Machines

Semi Automatic Machines

SA M/cs perform a cycle or operation automatically Ex. Button Hole Operator needs to place the material or garment part, activate the machine and the machine complete the cycle It uses clamps, sewing guides or templates to control fabric Cams or Electronic program control the sewing pattern

Automatic Machines
They can complete an entire or series of operations with little or no operator involvement Ex. Shirt cuff attachment Operators responsibility is to load the parts, monitor the operation and take action if the equipment malfunctions

Matching of checks and stripes in the garment production has always been difficult and time consuming. Traditional methods tend to waste a lot of material, since the patterns are cut out with a blocking tolerance. The task of rearranging the blocked out patterns is tedious and expensive. The workers involved in this process have to be skilled.

The patented VEITH SYSTEM PIN TABLE consists of a slotted aluminum top and Needle-Bars underneath. Each Needle-Bar has pins positioned inside the slots of the table top. The Needle-Bars can be moved freely along the length of the table. I.e. they can be positioned exactly according to the matching conditions of the marker. The height of the pins can be adjusted with the turn of a hand-wheel. So the spreading and pinning is convenient, fast and avoids tension in the lay package. Each pin can be individually locked down, i.e. only the needed quantity of pins have to be used. Each pin has a rounded top, which avoids damages to the fabric, i.e. with our special pins we can pin the fabric inside the piece area and produce the quality, where it is needed, and not outside in the waste region The PIN TABLE is an abstract copy of the marker.

The NEEDLE-BARS are adjusted acording to the marker.

The first lay is underlay-paper

The fabric is pinned from the center to the outside

The final lay is fixed with the VEITH NEEDLE-PLATES from above.

Each ply is cut with the cutting device at the end.

The fine-cut can be done with a CNCCutter or manually by hand.

VEITH SYSTEM PLAID MARKER Different fabrics with different sizes of the repeat can be spread in the same lay.

N e e d Fix lays including the MARKER or the PATTERN l The VEITH SYSTEM NEEDLE PLATE is a very useful utility, which helps you to fix lays e including the MARKER or the PATTERN. Its needles - coming from above - keep the P whole lay from distortion of its single ply. This is especially important for the transport of l a the lay and for the cutting operation itself. t e s Due to its maximum depth of penetration of 45 mm, higher lays are easily prevented

Needle Plates

from distorting. Its special design allows you to build up a very stable tower of NEEDLE PLATES while not using them.

CUTTING
The first stage in the manufacture of garments is the cutting of the materials into the necessary pattern shapes. These are then joined together by means of seams to create three-dimensional garments. Where large quantities of a garment style must be cut, a lay is created which consists of many plies of fabric spread one above the other.

GARMENT FINISHING M/Cs Industrial Iron

It allows gentle ironing with excellent steam quality at very low temperatures, even from 130 Celsius. The ironing temperature remains even and constant on the whole surface of the sole through an optimal soleplate heating. An especially soft steam exit avoids steam marks on your garments to a minimum.

Iron Soles
VEIT-iron soles reduce the surface temperature between the iron and the garment. Therefore, the danger of scorching is reduced to a minimum. The Teflon coating prevents sheen and helps the iron to glide smoothly. Evenly spaced holes ensure a constant flow of steam.

(1)VEIT Anti-Shine Soles for Industrial Irons Made of pure Teflon (2) VEIT Metal Frame Soles with Teflon Coating Solid aluminum framed sole with Teflon coating Snug fit ensures that no steam will escape at the side (3) VEIT Safety Soles for Industrial Irons Using a steam chamber principle Made of stainless steel Various frame plies improve the steam quality and regulate the contact temperature Additional wire mesh ensures very soft spread of steam
