Description
Currently, YKK’s zipper sewing process requires an operator to manually separate and feed a variety of stacked fabric swatches into a secondary feeder to a sewing machine. This operation costs customers additional labor and delays production when operators starve the sewing machine. The objective of this project is to develop a device which automates the separation of bundles of fabric to ready a swatch for feeding into a sewing machine. The mechanism will reliably separate an individual piece of cloth from a loaded stack quickly enough to exceed the cycle speed of the sewing machine.
