One day, my boss said to me: “Jeff, I want you to write an article.”
“What kind of article?” I asked.
“Because you have worked in a branch office in Chengdu, (the largest upholstered furniture manufacturing base in China) for two years and have contacted many sofa factories, I would like you to write an article that guides customers how to choose an automatic fabric cutting machine. Do you agree? “Said the boss to me
“Of course, I agree.” As I replied, I thought: You are my boss, you arranged, and I can only agree.
Haha …
In fact, the past two years has been engaged in the sales of upholstered textile automatic cutting machine, does contact with a lot of sofa factory. Sofa factory owners talked a lot about the status of the production of upholstered furniture. Many sofa factories are faced with the problem of manual cutting not standard, high production cost, serious material waste and difficult workers management. Therefore, it is a trend to change the existing sofa production mode and select a suitable automatic textile cutting machine.
So how should customers choose an automatic fabric cutter? This is really a question that must be considered carefully.Because at the time of communicating with the sofa factory, I saw that many sofa factories were unable to put their equipment into production due to inaccurate selection.
I think I cannot provide a “Golden Rule” for everyone. I can only write down some real stories I have experienced for your reference. I hope I can help those customers who are prepared to choose an automatic cloth cutting machine.
1, Choose a high degree of automation machine.
“Hello, Jeff, I want to buy a fabric cutting machine from your factory.” One of the customers I visited earlier called me said.
“But I remember you already have a fabric cutter, ah?” I asked.
“Yes, I bought one at a different factory, but I want to buy one more of your machines now.”
“Of course, yes, but can you tell me why?”
“Actually, I originally bought the equipment to save the workers cost, but now I find out that I spent money bought the cutting machine, but the worker’s cost did not decrease,” he said helplessly
“Why?”
“Because of the machines I used, the cutting platform is 8m long and cannot automatically feed, fabric spreading need two workers; and for single-color sofas, it needs cut of 17m fabric at a time, As the platform can not automatically feed, need manually spread fabric 2-3 times , simply cannot save labor.
Long Table Textile Cutting Machine
“Oh, I see. The reason why chose our machine is that our fabric cutting machines are equipped with an automatic spreading system that requires only 1 worker to complete the work. The machine can also automatically feed the fabric. The length of the fabric to be processed is not limited by the platform. ”
“Yes….”
How does automatic fabric cutting machine work?
In fact, cloth cutting machine, especially for the sofa industry machine has gone through a very long process of development.
Because the sofa fabric cutting has particularity:
The sofa industry needs to cut the fabric in large format, a household sofa needs at least 10 meters fabric. The earliest sofa fabric cutter machine cannot solve the problem of fabric automatic feed, so chose to increase the length of cutting table, (which is the case of the customers use the machine );in addition to not save labor, due to the this machine working table is the assembly, rather than the welding process, so the machine used for some time later, there will be fabric cutting not well, and cut off poor accuracy.
2, According to the actual situation of your own factories choose the textile automatic cutting machine
“Manager Lee, I understand your factory, I still recommend that you choose SFK1625 model automatic cutting machine, not recommended that you choose MCK model automatic cutting machine.” I give advice to a customer.
“However, I still want to choose the MCK series of equipment, because it can cut multilayers, and I am producing more than 10,000 sets a year.”Lee obviously cannot accept my advice.
“Yes, the MCK series machines do achieve multi-layer cut .but one point you need to know that MCK-series machines cut at least 20 layers of fabric at a time, if less than 20 Layer, you unable to accept its high costs. Your orders mainly custom-made and small quantities of orders (cut 10 layers one time), so I still recommend that you choose the SFK series, Because it can not only meet the single-layer cutting but also meet the 4-6-layer fabric cutting. “I hope through more specific usage data let lee recognize which device is more suitable for him.
“In my order, I also need to cut more than 20 layers fabric one time, and I have to consider meeting the production of these orders.”
“Yes, but only 10% of such orders, is not enough to invest in an MCK series machine.
Furthermore, SFK series machines have the function of nesting and scribing on the surface of the fabric, which can be automatically nesting for these 10% orders, and then only need to manual cut to meet your production and reduce the capital investment.”
I explained to lee again, hoping he would consider my advice.
However, he eventually failed to accept my suggestion and chose the MCK series cutter machine.This reminds me of Galileo said: We can not convince anyone.
Lee eventually chose to install the MCK series machine.
A month later, I received Lee’s phone.
“Hello, Jeff, I think I need to say sorry to you, the machine performance is very good, cutting 20 layers of cloth is very standard, high efficiency; but can not single-layer and cut within 10 layers fabric, because costs are too high. I would like to replace MCK equipment with SFK series cutter machine … ”
Lee is a very representative customer.
Many customers think that multi-layer cutting machine is better than a single-layer cutting machine, which is actually a wrong understanding. These two devices simply cannot compare good and bad, can only say that the suitable customer base is not the same.Now the sofa factory, some mass production, some retail, customized according to customer needs.

SFK CNC fabric cutting machine
This is why we offer our customers three different types of fabric cutting machine:
SFK series automatic cutting machine: suitable for single layer cut and small orders, not only can cut the fabric but also meet the rapid cutting of leather.
SCL series automatic cutting machine: suitable for single-layer cutting, suit for the low input costs, suitable for the small and medium-sized factory; due to the use of laser cutting, the cutting process does not touch the fabric, especially for flexible fabric cutting.
MCK series multi-layer fabric cutting machine: for the production of large quantities of sofas, less sofa style, cutting fabric more than 20 layers one time.
3, Must choose a professional fabric cutting machine manufacturer.
“Hello, Jeff, can you help me?” A client who did not choose our machine because the price asked.
“What happened, Manager Wong,” I asked.
“Why is my machine always deviating when it feeds the fabric, requiring manual correction, or a lot of fabric wasted, which made me a headache.”
“Did you mean that your current machine cannot feed the fabric accurately?”
“Yes.”
This problem is caused by the customer’s machine, although the machine with an automatic feeding system, there is no automatic correction system.
Then, Wong said to me again: “Jeff, I’m mainly producing cloth sofa. During nesting, I need to set the cutting direction of the fabric, but my software doesn’t have this function. This is really terrible.
This problem occurs because the machine is equipped with software is not a professional sofa processing software, a lot of cutting function cannot be achieved.
This is the third point I want to say – be sure to choose a professional sofa fabric automatic cutting machine, otherwise, it will give your production a lot of unimaginable trouble.
Sofa fabric cutting needs a whole set of cutting system, the need for machines and software, not only cut the fabric, but also the need for specialized software on the sofa model name, number, size editing, to achieve rapid typesetting; In addition, the need to use automatic and accurate feeding device to ensure continuous cutting fabric.
These are three representative customers during I sale sofa fabric cutter machine, I hope this helped you. I wish you good luck.
