Laser type
CO ? laser cutting machine (wavelength 10.6 μ m): suitable for non-metallic materials, with better cutting effect on velvet cloth (base cloth+fluff fiber), can avoid burning or carbonization.
Power selection: It is recommended to use a 50W-150W medium low power laser, which can ensure cutting efficiency and reduce the heat affected zone.
Auxiliary system
Blowing system: equipped with compressed air or nitrogen assisted blowing to remove cutting residues and reduce edge burn marks.
Automatic feeding/receiving device: suitable for mass production, improving continuous cutting efficiency.
Visual positioning system: For plush fabrics with patterns or positioning requirements, it achieves precise alignment and cutting.
2、 Optimization of process parameters
Key parameter settings
Power: It is recommended to use 30% -70% power (adjusted according to the material thickness to avoid excessive power causing edge hardening or burning).
Cutting speed: 10-30 mm/s (too fast speed may cause incomplete cutting, too slow speed may increase thermal damage).
Frequency: 1-5 kHz (high frequency suitable for fine patterns, low frequency suitable for fast cutting).
Focus position: Adjust to the surface of the material or slightly below the surface, ensuring that both the fluff and the base fabric are cut simultaneously.
Parameter testing process
Sample testing: Conduct parameter combination testing on plush fabrics of different thicknesses/densities and record the best results.
Edge quality inspection: Use a microscope or magnifying glass to observe whether the incision is smooth, free of burrs or carbonization.
3、 Typical application scenarios
Clothing and Fashion Industry
Complex pattern cutting: lace patterns, hollow designs, letter logos, etc.
Multi layer fabric synchronous cutting: Cut multiple layers of plush fabric at once to ensure alignment of the layers.
Home Textiles and Decoration
Sofa/curtain edge decoration: Non frayed cutting to enhance product grade.
Customized plush carpet: cutting irregular contours or interior decorative holes.
Automotive interior
Seat/door panel plush fabric: precise cutting of curved shapes, suitable for automotive components.
Anti slip mats/foot pads: Rapid mass production of complex anti slip patterns.
Crafts and Packaging
Plush greeting card/gift box: finely carved patterns or text.
Plush toys: Cutting complex contours of plush toys.
4、 Technical advantages
High precision and flexibility
Support vector graphics import (AI/CAD files), easily achieve complex designs without the need for mold making.
The minimum cutting seam can reach 0.1mm, suitable for micro detail processing.
Contactless processing
Avoid material deformation caused by traditional die wear or pressure.
Suitable for ultra-thin or highly elastic plush fabrics.
Environmentally friendly and efficient
No dust pollution, in compliance with environmental protection requirements.
Single cutting can be completed, reducing the cost of multiple processes.
5、 Precautions and Solutions
Material property adaptation
High fluff density: Reduce power appropriately, increase cutting speed, and avoid burning.
The base fabric contains synthetic components (such as polyester): it may cause edge melting, and the parameters need to be adjusted or the blowing pressure needs to be increased.
Edge processing optimization
Mild carbonization: Wipe with alcohol or polish after post-treatment.
Edge hardening: using low-temperature cutting mode or pulsed laser.
Safety and Maintenance
Install a smoke purification system to avoid harmful gases generated by the combustion of fluff.
Regularly clean the optical lenses to prevent contamination from fluff and debris from affecting cutting quality.
6、 Cost and benefit analysis
Initial investment: Approximately 100000 to 300000 yuan for small and medium-sized CO ? laser cutting machines.
Long term returns:
Save mold costs (advantage of single piece small batch production).
Enhance product added value (complex design premium).
Reduce waste rate (intelligent typesetting software can optimize material utilization).
