Abstract
An ironing machine with a computer-assisted control device for the advancing pressure and the pressing time between an upper and a lower shaping board (10, 16) which are movable relative to one another both vertically and horizontally, the ironing machine has a differential-pressure regulating device (1 to 6, 11) which, during the computer-controlled application of pressure to the article to be ironed, takes into account the dead weight of the movable shaping board, as a rule the upper shaping board (10). A substantially higher ironing quality, especially where sensitive textiles are concerned, can be achieved by the invention, because the ironing pressure can be preselected reproducibly within very fine steps.
Claims12
An ironing machine comprising a computer-assisted control device, upper and lower shaping boards, each having an ironing surface on mutually facing sides, at least one of the shaping boards being vertically movable and having a dead weight, and a differential-pressure regulating device, wherein, during application of ironing pressure to an article, the regulating device, under control of the control device, differentially adjusts the ironing pressure accounting for the dead weight of the at least one shaping board.
