Heated Edgefold
Uphostering & Trim Press

PROJECT DESCRIPTION

Because all three of the parts require a similar process-a vertical press, horizontal actuators, and heat-the JR team designed one safety and control system with multiple rolling tooling carts; a huge cost savings for the customer.

PRIMARY CHALLENGES

Develop machines to press laminate three part types, with additional parts types to come in the future. Two critical elements for the press are constant heat for bonding, and preventing wrinkling and puckering of the fabric.
