The all-purpose Fabric Tensioning System FastSpan

The Epoca 05 can be supplied with a new fabric roller offering an enormous flexibility.

The new fabric roller is built to suit all known tensioning systems (longitudinal tension rod, Velcro and fishbone). For every fabric change the tensioning system used can be different.

Fabric Tensioning System FastSpan Besides the mentioned flexibility FastSpan offers a further exceptional advantage:

  • The pull-through system.

As a consequence of the increased productivity of today’s embroidery machines, for complete success it is essential to reduce downtimes caused by rolling-over and spanning-up. Short design operating times, resulting from a low number of stitches as well as a more widely diversified design range have led to a situation in the embroidery process where quick, intelligent solutions for spanning up, rolling over and winding up are demanded.

With the pull-through system, the groove integrated in the roller is used as a rail for a special roller cloth that is sewn on in advance. Not only fabric which is cut to length but also fabric which is several times the length of the machine can be used.


The pull-through system The new pull-through system meets the current requirements to a high degree:

  • Reduced downtimes
  • Constant fabric tension
  • No wrinkling due to winding up
  • Possibility to choose between „endless“ fabric and individual lengths with linking device
