Edge Cutter
Trimming and sealing of the fabric edge.
As one of the final operations during the production of fabrics and felts, there often is a need to trim and seal the fabric edges while the product is still on the finishing machine. This process is frequently performed manually with handheld knives and melting units, occupying one or two operators during multiple fabric passes.
To improve accuracy and increase the production capacity of finishing machines, we have developed an automatic edge trimming device which simplifies this time-consuming process. The risk of personal injury is at the same time nearly eliminated, as the cutting blade is covered until pressed against the fabric. A reasonably significant increase in production capacity can be obtained using simultaneous cutting and edge sealing during, for example, the last heat set pass. Key characteristics:
-
Safe operation – hidden knives
-
Time-saving
-
Consistent high quality
The edge cutter is delivered as a stand-alone system or integrated with our Control System for finishing machines.
