Features, Applications, And Operations Of Snap Fastener Machinery

By Maria Rogers


Back in the days of Eden, you would just need a clump of fig leaves for clothing. Thousands of years thereon, you now have the nifty ribbons, buttons, and snaps to keep your raiment together. If youre wondering how the studs came to be so securely tacked on, its actually due to Snap Fastener Machinery.

Snap fasteners are those pairs of interlocking metal or plastic discs used to anchor or tack on materials such as clothing. The grooves of the disc fit neatly one on top of each other when they are aligned and when a certain force is applied. These poppers can be attached to the fabric by sewing or plying. Along its category are buttons, grommets, eyelets, rivets and caps, washers and hole plugs.

So that the tailor or dressmaker wouldnt have to go through the menial process of tacking these pieces, press machines have been invented. These are usually constructed of iron that is solid cast or else polyacetal resin. These gears have been accordingly adapted so they are durable, operable, and churn out professional looking work.

These equipment are operated automatically when one presses into a foot pedal. That would activate the motor drive that would then tack in the studs. They are equipped with safety widgets and pinch settings that ensure the snaps are secured and the operator knows the strike position. Parts include the operation panel, pulley, button and work clamp, side cover, side cover, thread cover, cone stand, and eye and finger guard. It may also have a power switch, if its electronic.

There are many types of machines. Some specialize in placing clasps on jeans. Some types are better suited for plastic fasteners and those that zero in on heavy duty materials like furniture, luggage, sports bags, et cetera. Some machines churn out as much as a dozen or half thousands pieces in one hour.

These studs can be found in a wide range of workaday things. Products that benefit from this accessory include belt buckles, metal brooches, upholstery, quilt covers, work wear and uniforms, footwear, sporting goods, and others. With it, one can easily stud materials of varying thicknesses, from paper to leather and vinyl.

Applications where its importance cannot be emphasized enough include the military and police service, where the studs in the ammunition pouch or bandoliers of military men and officers enable the easy drawing and retrieval of weapons. Nifty first aid kits also have fasteners for fast access to its contents. Even arm slings have them so that it can be easily adjustable and therefore convenient and comfortable to the user.

When considering a machine, you should check its condition, certification, and the automatic grade, whether manual or electronic. If its the latter, check out its given voltage and power. You might also want it to have a wide range of applicable molds, so that it can press irregular studs, not just the circular ones but also pentagons, squares, diamonds, and heart shapes.

Fastener machines thoroughly simplify any dressmaking process. Of course, you can always weld, crimp, solder, tape, glue, and braze materials together. With a trusty stud mechanism, however, work is automatic as well as easy.
