B - Shoe machinery

Machines that equalize the thickness of the shoe upper leathers removing material from the flesh side. It can operate edge skiving by means of templates, to be made following a defined geometry. Average working width between 400 and 600 mm.

Machine used to stamp the identification of shoe upper parts. Several versions are available, starting from mechanical to computerized and from hand-operated to automatic and digital control types.

Machine which reduces the thickness of the leather on the parts that constitute the shoe upper in accordance to the requirements of the shoe model. The bevel or "bevelling" edge is made by cup-shaped knives that rotate at high speed and with preset inclination. The operation can be hand-operating or by templates. Traditional or computerized versions are available.

Machine configuration with rotary plate, book-closure plates hinged or pressure roller for hot assembling of reinforcements of various types and material to the upper. Versions from manual to mechanized.

Machine equipped with work table and striking plate with matrix on which is printed the design to be realized. Performs effects of plating, embossing and also drilling and shearing. Versions from manual to automated.

Machines that produce high frequency energy that heats and softens the cover of the shoe upper performing particular relieves by pressure on the mold. Versions from simple single-user to the linear continuous production.

Machines in versions from simple irons, to flat or roller presses for applying cold/hot reinforcements on the shoe upper.

Machines and equipment for gluing on reinforcements and parts of shoe uppers and lining. Spray and roller versions.

Sewing unit including supporting surface for the material. The unit can perform several stitch types (knotted, single or double chain stitch, overcast, zig-zag), different types of sewing (one needle, two needles, straight, zig-zag) and with different transport systems (feed dogs, feed dog and needle, needle and feed dog-legs, others).

Stitching system with support for the material column type. May run several different stitch type (knotted, single or double chain, overcast, zig-zag), different type of sewing (one needle, two needles, straight, zigzag) and different material feed system (simple with a feed dog mechanism; feed dog and needle feed; feed dog plus needle feed plus alternating presser feet; upper differential; others).

Machine equipped with a long anvil support with a working plate, particularly suitable to beat and iron upper and boot seams.

Numerical control machines that realize ornamental drawings by vectorial files. They are equipped with one or more application heads, in order to apply various metal decorations like nailheads, eyelets, rivets. The leather is fixed on templates specially prepared; completely automated.

The laser systems for the leather use a CO2 source; the power can be normally between 50 and 500 Watt. They are usually equipped with special software able to use vector files, and check the many processing parameters: power, speed, frequency. The laser systems are mainly of 2 types: plotter and galvanometric. In the second one the laser beam is controlled by special mirrors, moved with great speed and accuracy the highest quality results and is used for engraving, perforation, raster photo effect, cutting.

Pressing machine equipped with suitable shaped mould in hot station and, if present, cold station. It can give a bend on the front part of the flat upper such as to make it adhere easily to the last model.
