AVP17 - Dual Intermittent Feed
(Trim Up To 1 �" Wide)
Click on the picture to see an enlargement of the machine.
This unit dispenses elastic up to 1-1/2" wide and can be easily installed on all types of overlock machines. The AVP17 has two ratio setting points and can be used in the following three modes: This feature is extremely useful when setting elastic to legs of swimwear where different ratios are required at the front and back. Set the first ratio required and then the second. When the operator needs additional shirring on the elastic she depresses the foot pedal and instantly the unit switches to the second setting. When her foot is removed the unit returns to the first setting. Obtain both increased production as well as quality. Two screw-controls accurately meter the feeding ratios and can be locked into position. An idler roller raises when changing ratios to take-up any slack on the elastic so a constant tension is maintained. Tape reels, timing belt, mounting hardware and pulleys are included. Handwheel adaptors are available (at extra charge) and must be ordered separately. Please specify machine make and model number. An additional swing-away elastic guide is also available. This guide keeps the elastic close to the foot, where needed and easily swings away for re-threading. The guide is mounted where the standard edge guide is located, again, at extra cost. Pricing
