Fabric cutting machine is very important factor in textile and garments sectors. A good quality garment will be ready first to wear when it will be completed by sewing after cutting fabrics. Many parts of fabric which are cutted by fabric cutting machine in a cutting table in the lay or spread of fabric. The cutting department has the duty of getting the raw material from the store; the raw material is mainly the fabric and interlining, in case of the cutting department. It also has to get the right marker at right time to ensure the smooth running of the department. After the cutting is completed, the cutting department has to dispatch the cut-parts to the sewing department.
List of Cutting Tools:
List of cutting tools or cutting tool is given below-
There arethree types of cutting machine available.
Manual cutting machine:
Die cutting
Drill cutting
Hand operated cutting scissor
Manually operated power knife cutting machine:
Straight knife cutting machine
Round knife cutting machine
Band knife cutting machine
Computerized cutting machine
Knife
Water jet
Laser
Plasma torch
Hand Cutters:
Hand cutters are used to give a small cut to the check fabric after the lay has been spread. This small cut thus made is then torn by the hand and the cutter is not used for the whole width cutting, as cutting throughout can cause the shift of grain and by tearing, the grain does not changes, hence, the cutting of the edge is manual in check fabric.
Cutting Step With Fabric Cutting Machine:
The cutting is done in 3 steps, in the first step, block cutting is done, followed by relaying of the blocks and further cutting it into actual patterns. The spread fabric is cut by 1-3 cutting operators with the help of straight knife fabric cutting machine. The patterns are not given a precise cut at first but are cut into ‘blocks’ that mark the outline of each pattern. The cutting in this section is done for an average of 140 bundles in an hour for a cotton check fabric, though it differs with the type of fabric and the design.
There are a few things which are to be kept in mind while cutting the free fabric lays. These can be listed as
Precision of cut
Clean edges
Unscorched, unfused edges (for polyester fabric)
Support of the lay
Consistent cutting
The marker is placed over the spread fabric and is matched to the ends. The lay is 1” more than the total width and length of the spread. This allowance is left to allow the space for the movement of the cutter. A hole is made in every marker piece of the paper marker by tearing it, this hole is covered by the cello tape and it keeps the marker from moving from its place. The plies are also kept from moving by the side by the use of clips. A straight knife cutter is used for cutting the block patterns. For a spread extending to 14 yards, upto 3 cutters are used for the purpose of cutting tools. The use of more than 1 cutter at a time increases the number of patterns cut in an hour by 3 times. These cutting men are skilled operators in this job, and cut an average of 25 bundles of 234 lays of the 100% cotton fabric.
The block cuts are then taken for the re-laying, which is done for check and stripe matching. The relaying also ensures that the plies of the block are aligned to perfection. Matching the horizontal lines of the check with he horizontal lines on the table does the check matching in this stage; 2 people are used for this purpose. They also make sure that the block patterns are aligned vertically also, by matching their ends. This re-laying is the most time consuming work in the cloth cutting process with fabric cutting machine and also important for the quality purpose as it ensure the matching of the checks and the stripes.
These blocks, after re-laying are taken for the re-cutting. This re-cutting is done with the help of straight knife cutter and also uses the band knife cutter for smaller pieces. The cloth cutting tool man cuts the final pattern but leaves a small protruding area in the bigger parts, like the front and the back to provide an area for numbering.
The fabric is now finally cut into final pattern, which are very much in the stitching condition. All the pieces are then numbered, in the reverse order from the top. The numbered pieces of the same garment, and of the same colored are again grouped together and bundled. This ensues a proper grouping of patterns cut together. This ends the work to be done on the patterns by the cloth cutting tools machine room. The patterns are then dispatched to the sewing room whenever requested.
Protective Cutting ToolsPolicy:
This policy is applicable for the workers and those specific staff who work in particular areas, which are hazardous.

Auto fabric laser cutting machine is used for cutting fabric in garments industry and textile industry. Auto fabric laser cutting machine have laser tube, motor stepper and other parts to work together. Fabric laser cutting machine is used in cutting department is an essential part of any garment-manufacturing unit, because the fabric is one raw material, which constitutes to more than 50% of the total cost of the garment and it has to be cut into patterns and a lot is on stake, if any problem arises in this section then it can affect the order drastically. The first stage in the manufacture of the garments is the cutting of the materials into the necessary patterns shapes. These are then joined together by means of seams to create three-dimensional garments. Where large quantities of a garment style must be cut, a lay is created which consist of many plies of fabric spread one above the other. From this, all the garment pieces for all the sizes that have been planned for that lay are cut by fabric laser cutting machine. The pattern shapes for these garments are drawn as to their shape and position, which maybe held within a computer, to be plotted similarly on the paper marker.

Stepper Motor:
The stepper motor is run by DC electric motor that divides a full rotation into a number of equal steps. The motor’s location can then be commanded to move and hold at one of these steps without any feedback sensor as long as the motor is cautiously sized to the application.
SOP for Cutting Section:
To maintain the best quality of Auto garment. In Auto group after received all document from marketing / sample section, at first we discuss all point about every order with sample, spec, buyer comments at pre-production meeting. After complete fabric inspection then we relax fabric according to our fabric spreading sop. When we, received sample, pattern marker then we start fabric spreading (lay). Complete lay, sometime relax fabric, then start cutting, numbering, budding & send to 100% panel check table. When panel check complete then send to (print, embroidery if required) sewing section for input. We keep all record properly.

Cutting Process of a Company:
In Autogarment., the cutting department is situated on the 5th floor of the building. The area of the floor is divided into work floor for the Autogarment and the Autogarment sections. Both the sections work for 100% export. The operators of the Autogarment sections wear cream-colored shirts and the operators in the Autogarment section wear blue colored shirts. This uniform helps for distinguishing the operators of the two sections.
The department submits a report of projected dates for finishing a particular work assigned to it and is issued the fabric from the store, accordingly. Based on this projection, the fabric is brought in 5-10 days in advance from the store, so that the cutting department gets enough time to finish the work.
Conclusion:
The cutting department gets the marker from the CAD department band the fabric from the store. The cutting department then lays the fabric, according to the cut with laser cut fabric machine laid down by the CAD and marker section. The laser cut fabric is then cut into blocks (block cutting), which is then re-laid and cut precisely. The second cutting is essential in order to ensure a 100% check match. The plain laser cut fabric is also cut into block first, then into the final pieces, but the hassle of matching is not essential in such kind of a fabric.
