Press eyelets universal: a description of the equipment, the operating principle

Holes on the clothes, shoes, dry goods require careful handling. Because it affects the reliability of the lacing and appearance of the product. To the edge of the wells on textiles will always look neat and be strong, you need to fix their eyelets. But manually install this kind of hardware is very difficult. Therefore, for these purposes are increasingly using special presses.

What is it grommet and where is it used?

Grommet - a special metal or plastic device used to trim clothing, shoes, accessories, textiles, printing products. It is used for processing edges of the holes that have been made to the product for threading laces, ribbons, braiding.

Designed to strengthen circular slits in fabric, leather, paper and other materials, does not fray the edges and torn.

What is design?

The design of rounded rivets very simple. It includes only two parts - the plug and washer. Bush is often referred to eyelets. It consists of an outer ring and legs.

The outer part will cover the tear outside. Leg eyelets used for decoration inside. It is put on the puck, legs folded and flattened edge.

What materials do?

The most commonly used material is selected metal, but possibly plastic execution. Among the most common materials:

• Steel. Metal is durable, holds its shape well, is different affordable price. But it has a major drawback: under the influence of moisture steel rusts quickly.
• Brass. The metal is very soft, which makes it easy to fix the eyelets on the product.
• Stainless steel. It is considered the best material. He did not afraid of corrosion, it is very durable and therefore has high durability. Less stainless steel - the high cost.
• Coated steel. To improve the characteristics of steel it is often applied to the coating of other metals. It may be copper, nickel or zinc. Nickel layer - the most beautiful but also the most expensive. Nickel - the cheapest cover, but apparently it is not too attractive looks. Copper is easily recognized by a yellowish-red hue.

Where to apply?

Sealing ring holes increase strength in the articles. Initially, they were used only in case the ship - or rather, for the manufacture of sails. With iron rings edge trim could achieve a reliable fastening of the cloth and its desired tension. Today, the scope of the finishing ring is much wider:

• Tailoring.
• Sewing shoes.
• Haberdashery.
• Packets made of paper with textile handles.
• Camping equipment.
• Curtains.
• Automobile awnings.

By design punchers come in two models:

• forceps;
• hammer impact type.

Tongs are similar in appearance to the pliers, but only at the top of the wheel is located with nozzles. Scroll wheel, you can select the diameter of the hole.

Puncher impactor - a rod with several attachments. Fitting for accessories in this case requires a certain skill and hammer.

The installer also comes in two forms:

• forceps;
• Cairn.

In the first case the bushing and washer are secured with forceps. But there is one nuance - every model of forceps designed for a specific diameter of eyelets.

Kern - a metal rod with a pointed end. It is inserted into the sleeve, then tapping on it with milk, it is possible to fix the staves on the canvas.

Now in the market there was a combined model - a hammer and installer. This tool facilitates the fixation of metal rivets.

The sealing rings are installed in several stages:

1. Punch a hole is made in the material.
2. The sleeve is inserted into the hole.
3. On the sleeve leg strung washer. Material is between Blocks and the washer cap.
4. Using the selected installation tool is expanded leg eyelets.

Important! If the material is elastic, the diameter of the puncture must be strongly stretched to the size smaller than the diameter of the sleeve. Sleeve size is measured along the inner edge. But Chinese products often indicated as the outer diameter size.

Press installation accessories

The most convenient to use the press for eyelets. Its main advantage is that it can immediately make a hole and install a metallic finish. No other supporting tools is not required. But there is a big minus - the cost of these machines is quite high.

Forms press eyelet

Before you buy the equipment for fixing accessories, you need to know about what design is, their features and functionalities. Press eyelet can be of several types:

1. Pneumatic.
2. Electric.
3. Manual.

Pneumatic press: description and characteristics

Pneumatic machines for installation of buttons and eyelets are used as equipment for sewing workshops, large factories and enterprises for the production of clothing, shoes, printing products. It is powered by compressed air energy. A mandatory piece of equipment - the compressor. It can be optional or purchased separately. Capable of handling the machine and if there is a connection to a central pneumatic system.

the impact force can be adjusted. The mechanism is driven by a treadle. Some models are equipped with a laser pointer and a security system that protects your hands from injury.

• Fixing holnitenov, buttons, eyelets.
• Production of buttons with the rim.

Such equipment is considered universal because it can perform many different operations. For these purposes, equipment includes special nozzles.

Electric Press: Description and characteristics

This press buttons and eyelets powered by electric foot drive. The machine is used when necessary tailoring and shoes in bulk. The equipment is equipped with a counter punch. This allows the operator to track performance.

The mechanism is actuated by electromagnetic coils. Setting the impact force is produced using the display buttons. The impact force may be different - from 1 kg to 1000 kg / cm². To protect your hands from injury in the package includes a sensor that is triggered if the hand goes to the work surface. It performs all the same operations as the pneumatic machine.

Manual press: description and characteristics

When it comes to small workshops, where there is no need to mass production for these purposes more suitable manual press for eyelets. It allows you to set the quality fittings on the product.

It performs a number of operations:

• Installing of eyelets.
• Fixing other accessories: eyelets, holnitenov, jeans buttons.
• Processing by a buttons.
• Punching.

How does the manual press for rivets and eyelets?

Machine is designed on the basis of mechanics. It is driven by the lever and the physical effort of the master. Lever presses the firing pin, which in turn puts pressure on the mechanism of the machine.

Under the pressing force occurs beading sleeve edge. The spring provides a return mechanism to its original position.

The kit includes screws for mounting on the table design. When the machine is securely locked, you can get to work:

1. Nozzle threaded device is screwed into the upper shaft.
2. Nozzle without carving set into the bottom of the machine.

   The diameter of the nozzle is selected according to the dimensions of the grommet

3. The sleeve is installed at the bottom. On top of it is put on the cloth with a hole.
4. Strung on top of the washer.

   The main thing is not to confuse with the underside of the face!

5. Pushing lever mounted metal ring.

   When you press the lever is important to prevent tissue shear

Today the market of equipment for installation of fittings contains a large number of machines. But the leader in this field installation of Turkish origin. Among the most popular brands:
