As per the title, does anybody work in a company that makes things from fabrics. Sewing inside out then use a machine to automatically turn them? Im interested to get some ideas of how the turning machines work and if there are any specialist companies that make them?

Im doing some work in an automotive firm and auto turning of the component after it has been sewn up would be an advantage. The part is the size of a small / medium handbag.


Thanks in advance,
Darren.

Ive seen when trousers are made, they just hold the waist inside out, and put it over the mouth of a big vacuum pipe and it sucks them the right way out. Not sure if that would work in your application

Thanks for that. Somebody told me about the trouser turning concept, i think the vacuum method works well on tube type garments. The part i need to turn is a closed end bag though so i think it needs to have a male bit that only goes to a set depth. Some of the textiles can be easily damaged so its needs to be something progressive with tiny rollers (at least thats what im thinking). Or perhaps a bag of similar dimensions connected to some some sort of pressure that will blow it the right way round.
