Nylon Selvedge Uncurler and Pinning Device Assembly
Complete infeed pinning station with nylon uncurling guides built into the assembly.
Product Overview
This assembly combines the flat nylon uncurling guide with the pinning device that presses the cloth onto the pin bed, so the edge is opened and pinned in one station rather than two separate fittings.
The nylon contact faces carry the same properties as our individual uncurlers: high-wear polymer, non-abrasive, and resistant to the heat and chemicals used in finishing processes.
Key Benefits
- Edge opening and pinning handled in one mechanical station
- Nylon contact faces avoid the edge damage a metal guide can cause on light fabrics
- Fewer separate brackets to align at the infeed
- Adjustable in height and angle for different fabric types
Who It Is For
- Finishing plants renewing a whole infeed station rather than one component
- Engineers who want the uncurler and press wheel geometry fixed relative to each other
- Mills running delicate goods on a frame originally set up for heavier cloth
Problems It Solves
- Uncurler and pinning device drifting out of alignment with each other between shifts
- Edge damage from metal contact faces on lightweight cloth
- Repeated fine-tuning at every article change
Application Scenarios
- Rebuilding an infeed station that has been patched together from mismatched parts
- Lines changing between lightweight and medium fabrics where the edge behaviour changes with the article
- Mills wanting a repeatable infeed setting instead of one that drifts between shifts
Technical Features
- Nylon or polymer uncurling faces, non-abrasive against the cloth
- Flat or slightly curved profile to gently uncurl edges
- Pinning section presses the fabric onto the pins so it stays on the pin bed
- Heat and chemical resistant for finishing line conditions

Certifications. We make no certification claim for this part. The original company statement is that products comply with international quality standards; no certificate is named and none is asserted here. Ask us directly if your procurement process requires documentation.
Comparison With Other Options
A separate uncurler plus a separate pinning device is cheaper and easier to source piecemeal. The assembly costs more up front but holds the geometry between the two, which is what stops the setting drifting and is worth it on lines with frequent article changes.
Use Guide
Mount the assembly square to the machine centreline before anything else
Set the uncurling face height first, then the press wheel pressure
Run the lightest article in the schedule and check for pin marks beyond the selvedge
Record the settings per article so changeovers are repeatable
Inspect nylon faces for grooving at each maintenance stop
FAQ
Questions About Nylon Selvedge Uncurler and Pinning Device Assembly
Does this replace my whole infeed?
It replaces the uncurling and pinning station. The guide rail, chain and pin plates are separate items, and we make those too.
Can you match my existing bracket?
Yes. Send a photo with a scale reference or a drawing of the mounting point and we match the interface.
What fabrics is it suited to?
It is used across textile finishing work. The nylon faces make it particularly appropriate for delicate and lightweight qualities where a metal guide would damage the edge.
Are the nylon faces replaceable?
Yes, they are wear parts and we supply them separately so the assembly does not have to be replaced when the faces wear.
How long is delivery?
Standard builds ship within 7 days. A build matched to your bracket is quoted after we see the drawing.
Do you supply both machine sides?
Yes, and we recommend it, so both edges behave the same and wear at the same rate.

Guides That Cover This Part
What Is a Stenter Machine and How Does It Work
The stenter heat-sets and dries fabric by stretching it to width and holding it there under controlled heat.
Key Parts of a Stenter Machine
Entry section, clip or pin chains, rails, heating chambers, exhaust, blowers, temperature control, width adjustment and weft straightener.
Pin Stenter or Clip Stenter Which To Use
Clips leave no pin marks and suit thicker fabrics; pins hold more tension and run faster, to 100 m per minute.
Send A Sample And We Will Match The Profile
Seat profiles and geometry changed across frame generations, so the part itself is more reliable than a model number. We identify it and quote the matching specification.
