The flexible solution for just in time production.

VEITH Cloth Roll Magazine
with integrated Gantry Spreader

Certain areas of today's garment manufacturing are facing a trend towards smaller and smaller orders with a demand on a quick response production. We can find it e.g. in high level classic men's wear or in high fashion ladies wear. The most demanding area in this sense is the field of MTM manufacturing.

Classic buzz-words - such as "quick response", "just in time", "flexibility" are often describing the situation. It stands for a development of tougher competitiveness with continuously increasing production costs.

As far as the spreading of fabric is concerned the VEITH Cloth Roll Magazine with integrated Gantry Spreader is the state of the art tool to make your cutting room flexible and efficient again.

PROBLEM

spreading order
'demanding' spreading order
  • only 1, 2 or 3 perhaps 5 plies per fabric and per marker need to be spread
  • only combining different fabrics within one lay package keep cutting costs under control
  • confusing situation of the cloth rolls in the intermediate stock prior to spreading
  • operators spend more time on loading and un loading cloth rolls
  • classic spreading machines are no more effective
  • pre-cutting the fabric or panels cutting seems to help out of the confusion, but the consequence is a considerable increase of fabric consumption
  • the permanent moving of the cloth rolls is a physical demanding work, which can be done only by male operators

  • The VEITH Cloth Roll Magazine with integrated Gantry Spreader offers a total solution in the area of cloth roll selection and spreading.
  • The system has been designed to combine quick roll exchanges with a roll storage supporting quick and easy spreading in a manual spreading environment.
  • The sequence of the rolls is predetermined and kept throughout the process.
  • High technology has deliberately not been incorporated, but instead the system combines intelligent and simple technical solutions with clever innovation.
  • The Gantry Spreader and the rolls are carried or stored on an overhead track system. The tracks are supported by pillars and gantries and can be installed over existing spreading tables. Alternatively the tracks can be mounted to the ceiling.
  • The storage of rolls on overhead tracks significantly reduces space requirements, as currently unused space above the spreading table can be used as storage area.
  • The extremely quick roll change is achieved through a patented clamping mechanism which simultaneously forms the support for the roll holder.
  • The pneumatic drive for the clamping mechanism has sufficient power reserve to handle even heavy rolls quickly.
  • The rolls can be used immediately, as threading of the fabric is not necessary.
  • For longer lays the VEITH SYSTEM GANTRY SPREADER can easily be moved using very little force.
  • The spreader can be fixed at any position for stationary use.
  • The pneumatically driven roll turning mechanism allows spreading face-to-face.
  • The cloth rolls are individually stored on shafts and trolleys running on rails independent from the Gantry Spreader. The rolls of the trolley are using high quality ball bearings, which makes them to be moved at almost no force. Thus allows even ladies to move a big number of rolls (e.g. 15 or 20) without too much effort.
  • This makes it also easy to by pass a couple of rolls, if required by the spreading order.
  • The number of cloth rolls to be stored in the VEITH Cloth Roll Magazine is variable and can be adjusted according to the requirement of the actual spreading order.
  • The hanging cloth storage allows a good overview of the status of the actual spreading order.
  • The sequence of the different cloth rolls is maintained throughout the complete spreading order. So the spreading of the fabric through the different size will happen as planned.
  • Broken cores of the cloth rolls are no longer a problem as the rolls are not hold and centered by cones.
  • Loading and unloading the cloth rolls is done within a couple of minutes. So the preparation time is reduced to a minimum.
  • The Cloth Roll Magazine can be adjusted in length or extended by a Roll Return in order to increase the total capacity. The Roll Return connects the storage area at the end and the beginning forming an endless chain formation for the cloth rolls.
  • Besides the technological advantages the system is ideal from an ergonomic point of view. The permanent lifting and lowering of heavy cloth rolls belong to the past.
