Machine Selection

Maximum presentation size, print and pattern repeat dictate the width of cutting blade required. The volumes required and type of sample may indicate the desirability of selecting equipment with an indexing feed arrangement for repetitive cutting of tabs, pattern cards and bunches, cascades and waterfalls. A cut line indicator illuminates the precise point at which the knife parts the fabric. This feature ensures minimum fabric wastage and assists the operator in lining up a design, particularly checks and geometrics, or centering up a specific part of a design or repeat.

Ancillary Equipment

We supply a complete range of cloth drills for presentation and sample assembly. We advise upon the selection of stapling, glueing and taping, stitching equipment, case assembly systems and labelling machinery.

We offer Checkroll and Checkmaster systems for fabric inspection, measuring and cut length service with a range of custom designed cutting tables, end cutters and straight knives for fabric laying up, collating and blocking out.
