Main has fresh answers for automation in shoemaking
25/01/2018
The Italian company, owned by the Atom Group, says footwear production will be increasingly geared towards automated processes and interconnected machines.
Its chairman, Mariano Bonato, said: "The market will pay greater attention to sustainability and energy saving solutions. We have developed energy saving systems similar to the ‘start and stop’ solutions implemented in cars, whose engine is activated only when required."
Main’s new Twin Injector mechanism features two injection heads that alternate at high speed with the rotation of the machine, which Main says results in 15% increase in the overall equipment effectiveness.
It has also updated Pragma, a solution designed for direct injection onto the uppers. Pragma is available in various configurations, from one-station machines for samples, small batches and tests on materials, to 44-station machines for larger batches.
