TY - JOUR AU - Kus, Zdenk AB - Examines the problems involved in mechanically lifting a cut piece of fabric from stacked layers, successfully separating the single piece, and transferring it to a precisely defined position. Grasping heads of four main types or a combination are commonly used mechanical, pneumatic, adhesive and electrostatic. Describes experimental testing of mechanical heads operating with needles for different types of fabrics. Additional equipment brushes on the edge of the cut fabric layer always increased takingoff reliability, as did additional pressure plates up to a certain mass.
