Cutting Machine

During make quilts we can use following different cutting machine

Cutting Machines Commonly Used in Home Textile Production Currently

1. Straight Knife Cutting Machines

• Features:
  • High cutting speed, suitable for high-speed production in the home textile industry. Classified by automation level:
    • Manual: Simple operation but low efficiency.
    • Semi-automatic: Adds functions like automatic feeding and material pressing.
    • Fully automatic: Achieves full automation from feeding to cutting and unloading, significantly improving productivity and quality.
• Application Scenarios:
  • Ideal for straight cutting of various home textile fabrics (bed sheets, duvet covers, curtains, etc.), especially for batch production in home textile enterprises.

2. Round Knife Cutting Machines

• Features:
  • Lightweight and easy to operate, usually equipped with detachable sharpening stones for on-site blade sharpening.
  • Different speed models: High-speed for soft and thick textiles; low-speed for thick and hard materials.
• Application Scenarios:
  • Commonly used for cutting thick home textile materials like blankets, carpets, and sofa fabrics. Also suitable for curved cutting in products like arc-edged pillows and tablecloths.

3. Laser Cutting Machines

• Features:
  • Uses laser beams for cutting, offering high precision for complex patterns and shapes. Cut edges are smooth without burrs, eliminating the need for post-processing.
  • Highly automated, fast, and flexible, enabling cutting of various graphics via computer programming.
• Application Scenarios:
  • Perfect for personalized customization of home textiles, such as curtains, bedspreads, and cushions with exquisite patterns or special shapes. Also suitable for fine cutting of high-end fabrics to showcase product quality.

4. Ultrasonic Cutting Machines

• Features:
  • Utilizes ultrasonic energy to generate friction between fabric molecules for cutting, with advantages like neat incisions, no melting/burrs, and undamaged fibers.
  • Seals cut edges to prevent fraying, operates with low noise, and has minimal impact on the work environment.
• Application Scenarios:
  • Suitable for all home textile fabrics, especially delicate and easily deformed materials like silk and chiffon. Excels in products requiring fine edge treatment, such as scarves, handkerchiefs, and baby textiles.

5. CNC Cutting Machines

• Features:
  • Controlled by a computer system to precisely manage cutting tool trajectories, ensuring high precision, efficiency, and automation.
  • Quickly and accurately cuts according to pre-designed patterns/sizes, adapts to various fabrics and requirements, and supports multi-layer cutting for enhanced productivity.
• Application Scenarios:
  • Widely used in large-scale home textile production for both standard and custom products with complex designs (e.g., mass-produced bed sheets and duvet covers).

6. Cutting Robots

• Features:
  • Intelligent cutting equipment that achieves complex cutting actions via programming, with high precision, flexibility, and adaptability.
  • Equipped with visual recognition systems to automatically identify patterns/marks on fabrics for precise cutting.
• Application Scenarios:
  • Commonly used in high-end home textile brands or productions requiring high cutting precision and flexibility (e.g., personalized designs, irregular shapes, or complex multi-layer splicing).
