CE Certified Brass Metal Zipper Machine
This machine is designed for the precision forming of brass zipper chains, integrating a servo-driven feeding system with a rotary stamping unit to produce continuous metal zipper tape at controlled speeds.
Core Technical Specifications
Key performance parameters are listed below; values can be adjusted according to specific project requirements.
| Parameter | Typical Value |
|---|---|
| Model designation | ZM‑B200 |
| Maximum brass strip width | 12 mm |
| Feed speed (adjustable) | 0‑30 m/min |
| Stamping force | 15 kN |
| Motor power | 3 kW servo |
| Control system | PLC with touch‑panel HMI |
| CE marking | Conforms to Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC |
| Overall dimensions (L×W×H) | 1800 mm × 900 mm × 1500 mm |
Operating Principle
Brass strip is unwound from a coil, passed through a tension‑controlled feeder, and positioned under a rotary die set that forms the zipper teeth profile. The servo drive synchronises feed length with stamping cycles to maintain consistent pitch.
Material Compatibility
The machine processes brass alloys such as CZ108 (CuZn37) and CZ106 (CuZn40) in thicknesses ranging from 0.15 mm to 0.30 mm. Surface‑treated strip (nickel‑plated or pre‑lacquered) can be accommodated without modification to the tooling.
Applications in Textile Industry
Brass zipper tape produced on this equipment is commonly used in denim jackets, workwear, and outdoor gear where corrosion resistance and aesthetic finish are required. The ability to run narrow widths enables integration into lightweight sportswear without adding bulk.
Customization Options
Depending on production needs, the following aspects can be tailored:
- Die set geometry for different tooth profiles (standard, concealed, waterproof)
- Feed roller configuration for variable strip widths
- Optional lubrication system for high‑speed runs
- Extended coil accumulator for reduced change‑over time
- Alternative control panels (e.g., IEC‑61131‑3 compliant)
Quality Assurance & Inspection
Each machine undergoes functional testing before shipment, and the following checkpoints are standard:
- Verification of tooth pitch tolerance (±0.02 mm)
- Measurement of stamping force consistency across cycles
- Electrical safety test per EN 60204‑1
- Visual inspection of surface finish for scratches or burrs
- Documentation of CE conformity and test reports
Typical Lead Time & Packaging
Lead time depends on order complexity and current workshop load; typical ranges are shown below.
| Order Quantity | Estimated Production Lead Time |
|---|---|
| 1‑2 units | 6‑8 weeks |
| 3‑5 units | 8‑10 weeks |
| 6+ units | 10‑12 weeks (subject to capacity) |
Machines are secured on a pallet with shock‑absorbing foam, wrapped in polyethylene film, and placed in a wooden crate rated for international transport.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can the machine be adapted for other non‑ferrous metals such as copper or aluminum?
Yes, with a change of die set and adjustment of feed tension, the same platform can process copper or aluminum strip within the same thickness range.
What information is required before a quotation can be issued?
Please provide the desired zipper width, tooth profile, strip material specification, target production speed, and any required accessories (e.g., lubrication unit, accumulator).
How is quality inspected during a production run?
Operators can use a built‑in laser sensor to monitor tooth pitch in real time, and periodic manual checks with a micrometer verify dimensional stability.
What packaging methods are available for export shipment?
Standard export packaging includes a wooden crate with ISPM‑15 compliance, inner polyethylene wrap, and corner protectors. Custom crating or container‑loading frames can be arranged upon request.
How long does it typically take to manufacture a spare die set?
Spare die sets are usually manufactured within 3‑4 weeks, depending on complexity and current tooling shop load.
