The NEW fully Australian designed and manufactured WM-VB1 is now being re-named to the VB Supra
We want to avoid confusion with the old VB1 model.
Williams Manufacturing has so radically improved the VB Supra design to make the new machine so much accurate and consistent, as well as being more ergonomic and intuitive to operate.
Our VB Supra Vertical Blind Cut Punch and Crease machine is a masterpiece of Australian design and engineering.
The VB Supra Vertical Blind Machine has all the advantages for Australian Vertical Blind manufacturers
We're supporting Australian manufacturers with parts, service and repairs for all our vertical blind machines
Williams Machinery has over 17 years experience on the previous model machines, and has completely designed the SUPRA. All Supra parts are held locally in Australia.
Our previous model has the machine head up high on a post requiring operators to hop on a stool to load fabric and feed into the machine head. If machine operators weren’t very tall they had difficulty.
The machine head and roll holder is now at an ergonomic height – not mounted up on a post
On the left side of the machine the infeed has a great system of passive rollers for dealing with the various tension of the roll – this eliminates the drag on fabric entering the machine head it means that slightly inconsistent lengths due to this is totally eliminated – a really fantastic new feature.
The infeed has a bearing mounted roll holder to slip through the fabric roll and then it is simply placed on the machine – so easy
The chute comes in 2 parts so 2100mm louvre is off the floor if you use the full chute. The chute comes apart in the middle to a delivery height at 900 mm, a standard bench height
Waste fabric from punched out holes typically end up on the floor all around a vertical blind machine. No more sweeping up! A collection shaft delivers them straight into a waste plastic bin.
Fast easy slide out of the drive roller and the counting roller so it is easy to remove masking tape or to clean rollers as required.
There is now adjustment of tension on the counting roller, making it easy to keep the machine accurate. With no adjustment on the old VB1 inaccuracy became an increasing problem
With this new design many service issues can be performed by clients or better able to keep the machine accurate with help available over the phone or via a smart device.
The VB Supra can come to you in a crate and it is on its castor wheels so after it is lifted out on the floor it is simply a case of bolting the chute on and connecting the power and air. You can be running in only a few minutes. We’ll be happy to guide you through the screens and initial operation. An operator manual will be included.
For overseas clients we can also flat pack the VB1 Cabinet. This would lower the shipping costs.
