Type 'TWR' Rail Butt Seam
BIRCH TWR
This machine is designed to join most fabrics wet or dry with a perfectly straight seam. The join enables continuous processing to be carried out right across the entire fabric and seam.
The sewing head runs on a steel frame with aluminium cloth rails. The carriage is positively driven in both directions. Frame widths are availabel in practically any size. A perfectly straight seam is sewn which prevents creases from travelling up the pieces when subjected to tension. This eliminates spoilt cloth either side of the seam. The cloth is kept in open width. The machine travels across the cloth width. Less slack cloth is needed to put the ends on the machine than a stationary machine. Materials such as flimsy knitted and stiff materials, which are difficult to handle through a stationary machine, can be easily joined. Stretchy fabrics can be pulled to full width before joining to eliminate breaking out in later processing.

The BIRCH TWR machine is fitted with the BIRCH TW head as standard.
Options available include:
- custom or extra clamping (usually pneumatic)
- pneumatic drives can be fitted
- multiplying and programmed speeds
- frames for integration of sewing machine into existing line
