The operator loads an upper, with counter inserted, onto the heated mould. Then activating cycle begins: by heating and pressure counter is activated and the materials (upper, counter and lining) are laminated togheter without defects. When activation is finished, upper is released. The operator unloads it from heated station and loads onto cooled one, pulling pincers tension the upper then moulding cycle starts: the pads clamps. Heel seat flanging device effects its function backpart of the upper at this point is moulded and the shape stabilized, heel margin is flanged. When settled time is well the upper is released and mould return to start position to allow unloading and new cycle.

Electronic control with digital visualization of heated moulds temperatures.

Clear view of the back seam during loading of the upper onto heated mould, thanks to mould inclination towards the operator.

The pulling pincers are pivoted to allow regulation of the gripping position according to the mould curve.

The heated moulds are constructed according to the shape of customer’s last.

Compact dimension of machine, reduced area occupied in factory.
