2.7.4 Brushes After Pinning
Since the pinning shoes only bring the fabric onto the tip of the pins, the function
of the subsequent brushes is to press the fabric fully onto the pins. The brushes are
mounted on a pivoting lever which, after releasing a locking handle, can be moved
to the non-operating position or working position (Fig. 44).
2.7.5 Selvedge Tensioning and Fabric Guiding Unit
Fabric passage along the pin rail needs to be fixed properly and efficiently on the
pins. A special synchronized drive system is used for pinning the fabric efficiently
with large overfeeds or having higher lycra content. Pneumatic systems are used for
the efficient operation of the system. The drive of the selvedge tensioning and fabric
