More Information
Summary:A rigid, lightweight positioning system is disclosed for use with a high speed sewing machine. The positioning system includes a rigid, lightweight frame that is slidably mounted in a predefined plane. The frame is driven within the plane by a remotely located motor. A carriage is slidably mounted on the frame so as to move in a direction transverse to the direction of movement of the frame itself. This carriage is driven along its axis by a second remotely located motor. The overall arrangement of the elements within the positioning system is such as to minimize the introduction of vibration at the point of sewing.
