ABSTRACT:
A transfer mechanism for transferring a limp workpiece from a first conveyor traveling at a first speed to a second conveyor traveling at a second speed different from the first speed or running at the same speed, includes a sensor for initially sensing a leading edge of the workpiece and a controller for controlling inhibiting of the workpiece a predetermined time after detecting the leading edge of the workpiece. Further, the transfer mechanism includes a suction device for supplying air flow to create a pressure differential and transfer the sensed leading edge of the workpiece from the first conveyor to a transfer mechanism, with the transfer mechanism traveling at the second speed. The transfer mechanism thereafter conveys at least the leading edge of the limp workpiece to the second conveyer and clamps the leading edge of the limp workpiece between both the transfer mechanism and the second conveyor. Subsequent to the workpiece being clamped between both the transfer mechanism and the second conveyor, the transfer mechanism then terminates air flow from the suction device and applies necessary compressed air. This drops the workpiece between the first and second conveyor to remove unnecessary wrinkles therefrom. The workpiece is thereafter conveyed on the second conveyor.
