By adjusting the Y-axis position of the second Z-axis linear drive mechanism on the Y-axis linear drive mechanism, the distance between the rotary wheel and the bottom of the FIBC can be adjusted. The strap positioning mechanism and the rotary strap clamping mechanism can move left and right under the drive of the X-axis linear drive mechanism. By setting multiple sewing stations and allowing the strap positioning mechanism and the rotary strap clamping mechanism to... The movement between different sewing stations allows for the continuous processing of multiple FIBCs. The strap positioning mechanism can move back and forth under the drive of the Y-axis linear drive mechanism, which can drive the strap mechanism to move in the X and Y axes. The first Z-axis linear drive mechanism can drive the strap mechanism to move up and down, allowing the strap mechanism to take the end of the strap from the clamping mechanism and place the end of the strap on the FIBC body where it needs to be sewn. The sewing machine can then sew the end of the strap to the bag body. By rotating the FIBC, the straps on all four sides of the bag body can be sewn continuously. Before all four straps are sewn to the bag body, the rotating wheel will be pulled to rotate along with the straps because the strap mechanism and clamping mechanism are holding the straps. This facilitates the sewing of the straps on all four sides of the bag body, realizing automatic feeding and positioning of the straps, reducing manual labor input, and effectively improving production efficiency.
