Objective
The objectives of the project are to improve productivity, quality and flexibility of traditional cutting and scalloping processes by means of laser technology with a movable laserbeam steered by structures in a fabric, contrary to multilayer cutting of textiles steered by a pre-programmed CAD/CAM path. To reach the industrial objectives, three applications for cutting of endless rolls will be performed. Firstly, splitting into individual repeats, secondly, two-sided scalloping and thirdly, crosswise splitting. The technical objectives are to develop control systems and robotics to convey a laser beam which perform cutting along the actual pattern or structure in the fabric. Observations from a vision system will determine the actions of the movable laser beam. Additional objectives are quality assurance related to improved production efficiency and training of manpower.
