Abstract: A dual roll fabric welding or seaming machine is configured to seam pieces of sheet material to one another as the pieces move downstream. The machine includes modular gantries and various actor devices which may be readily mounted on any of the gantries to interact with the moving sheet material to achieve various functions, such as seaming pieces of sheet material together, forming hems, applying grommets to the sheet material, printing on the sheet material, connecting reinforcement strips or ropes to the sheet material and cutting the sheet material.

Abstract: A system for making a banner having reinforced edges and grommets includes a self-contained banner making machine including a welding device and a grommet riveting device within the machine. A sheet of banner webbing material for is configured to be fed through the banner making machine. A strip of reinforcement material is welded to the banner by the welding device in the banner making machine. A grommet is riveted through the banner material with the strip of reinforcement material welded thereto by the riveting device. The banner making machine includes a banner material flowstream pathway, including first and second sides of the pathway. The welding device or a first strip welder is between the entrance and exit of the machine. The riveting device or a first grommet riveter is also between the entrance and exit positioned downstream from the first strip welder.

Abstract: A system for making a banner having reinforced edges and grommets includes a self-contained banner making machine including a welding device and a grommet riveting device within the machine. A sheet of banner webbing material for is configured to be fed through the banner making machine. A first hem is created in a folding devices upstream from the welding device. A grommet is riveted through the hem having double thickness banner material by the riveting device. The banner making machine includes a banner material flowstream pathway, including first and second sides of the pathway. The welding device is between the entrance and exit of the machine. The riveting device or a first grommet riveter is also between the entrance and exit positioned downstream from the welding device.
