Rubb — Thu, 29 Oct 2009 19:47:53 +0000

This machine is specially made for Rubb Hall AS and allows very efficient measuring out of fabric length. When the length has been set by the operator the machine automatically pulls the required length from the roll and the operator then pushes a button for semi-automatic cutting of the fabric. This means we only need one operator for fabric measuring and cutting while before we needed two. Rubb Hall AS always strives to innovate to keep costs to our customers as low as possible.
