Automatic fabric cutting machines have revolutionized textile processing, with two main types leading the industry: laser automatic fabric cutters and oscillating knife automatic fabric cutters. Recently, the oscillating knife automatic fabric cutting machine has gained popularity in China due to its intelligent design, high efficiency, and environmentally friendly operation. Let’s dive into the details of how this advanced machine works and its key benefits.
How Does the Oscillating Knife Automatic Fabric Cutting Machine Work?
The AMOR CNC oscillating knife fabric cutting machine is built with an automatic feeding rack, an automatic cutting head, and an automatic unloading rack. Some models also come equipped with an automated fabric spreading system. Here’s how it works:
- Design and Layout: Fabric cutting shapes are first designed on a computer, which activates an automatic nesting function to optimize fabric use.
- Material Feeding: Once the design is set, the machine’s automatic feeding rack transports rolled fabric material to the cutting area.
- Cutting Process: The machine lays the fabric flat, then performs cutting, punching, and other required actions.
- Unloading: After cutting, materials are directed to the unloading area for manual collection, although some future advancements may bring fully automated unloading.

Important Operating Tips
To get the most out of your AMOR CNC oscillating knife fabric cutting machine, follow these important tips:
- Use Recommended Tools: Match the cutting tool to the material type. The machine can be equipped with different tools like round knives, oscillating knives, pneumatic knives, milling cutters, and bevel cutters.
- Change Tools Safely: Follow trained procedures for changing tools and check that all parts are tightly secured.
- Set the Tool Starting Position: Before the first cut, return the tool to its origin point and adjust the depth to avoid blade breakage.
- Keep Table Clear: Do not place any hard objects above the cutting gantry to prevent damage.
- Double-Check Program and Compensation: Before starting, ensure that the software settings and compensation values are correct.
- Avoid Hard Metals: Never attempt to cut high-hardness metals, like steel, as they can damage the blades.
- Monitor the Cutting Process: Watch the machine during cutting to spot any potential issues early.
- Seek Technical Assistance: For complex repairs or software issues, contact an AMOR CNC technician for assistance.
