Automatic sample mounting machine
• Superb, fully automatic mounting machine
for «waterfall» colour cards and hanger
collections. Especially suitable for apparel
fabrics.
• Programmable control for number of colors,
swatch dimensions, sample distance and
length of collection.
• Programmable memory for up to 100
different collections.
• Enormeous production rate of up to 17’500
folded or flat stepped «waterfall» samples or
6’750 laterally stepped colour samples for
hanger collections.
• Opto-electronic safety device.
• Can be converted to a fully automatic production line thanks to the optional automatic
cutting device for the longitudinal separation cut of the hangers.

Automatic sample mounting machine
High flexibility and tremendous production rate
One single machine for 3 different collection types:
Colour cards with folded or flat stepped «waterfall»
samples, free hanging «waterfall» collections and
vertically stepped hanger collections. The production
rate of up to 1’350 swatches at 550 mm length per
hour results in a tremendous productivity of
– up to 6’750 hanger collections at a length of 110 mm
or
– up to 17’500 flat stepped or folded «waterfall»
samples at 40 mm width.
This means not less than 15 times higher output in
colour cards compared to manual sample production. At a constant and maximum precision from the
first to the last sample of course!

Efficient heater
The three-part heating element which activates the
heat-seal glue on the backing materials can be
adjusted gradually, depending on the swatch size
which is to be glued. Thermostats guarantee a
precise and constant heating temperature.
POLYTEX heat-seal backing materials
We do strongly recommend to use only the wellknown and proven POLYTEX heat-seal backing
materials to ensure a highest possible production
output and to avoid any possible harm to the machine
or the sample collections due to the use of no-name
backing material. (Details on POLYTEX backing
materials to be taken from the price list no. 605e).
Hanger collections
The special attachment for hanger collections
consists of up to 5 top and bottom roll holders. The
separately adjustable heating elements of the top
roll holders allow an efficient production of hanger
collections.
Automatic cutting device
Once the swatches are glued onto the heat-seal
paper strip, this automatic cutting device allows you
to produce up to 5 hangers simultaneously by cutting
the swatches length-and cross-wise down to the
desired size. After cutting, these hangers get placed
onto a feeler sample and are finally stapled into a
hanger cap by means of our multiple stapler «SE».
Easy programming
The user is guided through a dialogue-type program
which assists him in creating a new collection in a
few easy steps in next to no time. The programmable
memory allows to save up to 100 different collections
for a quick recall at a later stage.
Avoiding mistakes
A wrong colour sample placed on the wrong spot of
a collection is every sample-maker’s nightmare. The
consequences of wrong orders and deliveries due
to such mistakes can heavily affect existing business
relations and normally do end-up in a loss of money
and, even worse, in a bad image. Compared with the
manual production of these collections the clearly
defined work-steps such as laying-up and grosscutting the fabrics in the desired sequence of colours,
cutting the stacks on POLYTEX sample cutting and
pinking machines, the automatic pickup and placing
of the swatches on the backing material minimizes
this well-known possible source of error.
POLYTEX Switzerland
Sequence of operations
• Samples are cut into stacks on the pinking
machine and loaded into the magazine by
means of a loading device.
• The machine performs the following operations
automatically:
– picking-up samples from the magazine
– folding the samples
– lining up regularly spaced
– glueing on endless paper
(Optional:
– cutting the hanger length-wise and/or crosswise).
• Cut the waterfalls/hangers to the desired size
and glue them onto sample cards or stapled
into hanger caps.
