Belt Take-Down
The belt take-down grasps the fabric directly under the needle bed.
A motor drives the drive shafts. The belts (1) are driven by the drive
shaft and
guided by the deflection rod. The finished fabric is guided into the fabric
collection chamber by the belts.
The winding protection device with antistatic br
ushs (2) an
d linear stripping
brushs (3) avoid the winding of the fabric and the threads around the take-
down belts. If winding is detected nevertheless, the machine stops.
