buttons need not be placed by
operator again and again for
sewing, there has been cycle time
improvement too which has been

As one operator can operate more
than one machine simultaneously,
GTN1054 Button sew indexer with machine head of JUKI and electronic panel from GTN
specialized shirt manufacturing
companies can really drive
value out of these indexers with
increase in productivity per
operator. The laser light ensures
no chalk marking, resulting in time
saving during spotting; and the
support clamp ensures pieces are
arranged neatly and effectively,
which saves time for the next
operation. Ordinary process of
buttoning and holing, once the shirt
sewing is complete, incurs more
handling time; but use of indexers
will change the process flow to
buttoning and holing being done
before the shirt assembly, thus
reducing crucial handling time.
Conclusion
When buying a buttonhole or
button sewing indexer, essential
features which should be looked for
are: cost of the machine; service
offered by the sewing machine
providers; preset mechanism for
reducing operating time; stacker
to carry the stitched pieces to
reduce dispose time; and last but
not the least, speed of the machine.
The ability to handle diverse
varieties of buttonholes as well as
button sewing designs also plays a
significant role since the automat
should be able to sew different
style variations without much
modification in the machine.
