Making use of the best benefits of cutting workshops - Why clothing companies should apply automatic spreading systems

In the modern clothing production, it has become a common understanding to use automated systems to increase production efficiency and stabilize product quality. Through many years of practical observation, the author believes that in all aspects of automated production of clothing, automatic distribution of this process is very important.

The importance of automated spreading systems for apparel production is mainly reflected in the following aspects:

The profits of service companies originate from good spreading jobs. It is well known that fabric costs account for the most important part of apparel production, and good distribution work can achieve better fabric edge alignment results, so that the layout can be closer to the beginning of the spreading layer. , the end and both sides, more savings. With a good spreader system, companies can save 0.5% -2% of the fabric, a considerable economic benefit.

A good automated spreading system spreads quickly and efficiently, and can achieve higher productivity than manual spreading operations. Although the efficiency of the company is different and the profits are different, the effect of automatic distribution is significant.

Some traditional cutting workshop fabrics are stored in the storage room and are far away from the spreading machine. When each spreading, two workers move the cloth from one side to the spreading table, and then manually “feed” the cloth. This is more time-consuming and inefficient. Advanced cutting workshops use different spreading methods.

For example, we use a brand's automatic spreading system as an example. The cloth roll is placed in advance in the spreader operation area. Only one worker needs to put the cloth roll in the cloth cradle, and then automatically “feed” the cloth. Improve single-pass distribution efficiency by 1.5 minutes. Assuming 100 layers at a time and spreading 10 times a day, you can spread 1,500 meters more per day.

Automatic distribution not only saves labor, but also can effectively improve the production efficiency of garment enterprises to create more profits.

Good cloth work guarantees the quality of garments. In the current garment production, the types and types of fabrics used are varied. For example, from the material type, there are elastic fabrics and non-elastic fabrics. In the actual production of the clothing pattern, the ideal pieces must be consistent with the CAD design and have not been deformed. This requires that the cloth in the paved layer is not deformed, that is, the spreading operation is tension-free.

Most automatic spreaders on the market today are capable of tension-free spreading operations. There are two main ways of working: one is the form of cloth, the system is commonly known as the "clothing machine"; the other is the form of cloth, the system is commonly known as "spreading machine."

The working mode of the spreading machine is the cradle fabric, and the surface of the sloping plate of the spreading machine slides on the surface of the fabric itself to fall on the spreading table. Compared with the stretch cloth spreading machine, the cloth spreading method ensures the original state of the elastic fabric better, so the effect of tension-free cloth spreading is better.

We also took the automatic distribution system of certain brands in the current market as an example. The servo control system adopted in the design can ensure that the feed hopper speed is highly consistent with the speed at the outlet end, thereby avoiding new tension in the spreading process. In addition, the overall electrification design ensures the consistency and consistency of the machine's operation process, so that the quality of each cloth layer can be well guaranteed, and the repeatability and consistency of the cloth quality are very high. This is extremely critical for ensuring the quality of the sewing in subsequent production processes.

Spreading work ensures that stable production and distribution operations occupy a large area in the cutting workshop. Usually, an automatic cutting machine needs to deploy more than two sets of spreading systems. The efficiency of the spreading machine plays a fundamental role in cutting production. . The efficiency and effectiveness of the cutting work are directly affected by the constraints and impact of the spreading work.

Undoubtedly, the spreading system can stably and efficiently follow the planned production work and seamlessly cooperate with the cutting process of the cutting bed, and the production efficiency of the entire cutting workshop is also enhanced.

Closing machine stops work, cutting bed can not work properly, it will cause the corresponding loss of production. Therefore, when a garment company introduces a spreader system, it needs to do a good job of examining it in advance and choose a reliable system. In addition, in actual production, we must also pay attention to correct operation, as well as regular maintenance and maintenance of equipment.

In recent years, most garment companies are faced with the problem of “recruitment difficulties”. In addition to the problems of salary treatment, working conditions are also one of the reasons for recruitment difficulties.

If the traditional artificial cloth is used to spread the cloth, the work efficiency is not high, and the work form is monotonous and boring, and it also consumes a lot of physical strength.

We can often hear people in apparel companies say, “Young people can’t stand the hard work”, but the author always believes that the key reason lies in the change of the objective environment—in terms of population structure, the proportion of China’s young and old labor force Compared with the previous century, there has been a greater reduction.

With the more detailed division of labor in society, many large and small industries have realized modernized and automated production. The working conditions of enterprises have been greatly improved, providing employers with more opportunities to choose jobs. Now. At present, children in many families in China are only children, young people do not want to, and parents do not want their children to rely on simple and laborious ways of working for life.

Therefore, relying on labor-intensive garment manufacturing industry, it is inevitable to quickly adapt to this social development trend and transform the mode of production, that is, adopt an automated system to increase work value, and attract more talented people with a good working environment and conditions. Young people invest in this industry.

The advanced automatic spreading system not only has a high production speed, but also has been upgraded from a simple mechanized production to an intelligent one. Therefore, the production efficiency is higher and the work quality is also better.

The design of the automatic spreader system and the spreader are all ergonomically designed and the operator is comfortable. If the mobile platform is selected, the operator does not have to follow the movement of the spreader to move back and forth in the spreading operation, which greatly reduces the labor intensity of the operator.

The use of an advanced spreading system can help companies achieve automated distribution and solve employment shortages.

How to use automatic spreader system?

It is not difficult to understand the importance of putting the cloth work into the entire process of automated production of garments from a macro perspective. Then, how can we use the automatic spreader system in actual production applications so as to better play the advantages and benefits of the cutting workshop?

First of all, we must pay attention to the research from the beginning of purchasing equipment, and choose an automatic spreading system that is more suitable for the actual application needs of the company.

Reliable equipment suppliers will consider various factors such as production capacity, fabric material, type of processing products, size of factory space, and even the development plan of the company, to help customers analyze and research requirements, and choose the most suitable distribution system solution.

Therefore, neither the user can purchase the low-capacity system due to lack of experience and cannot meet the production demand, nor will he introduce a system with over-capacity and cause waste of funds and production capacity.

Second, the stability of system suppliers and the coherence of solutions must also be taken into consideration. This factor will have an impact on the subsequent use, maintenance, and service of the equipment.

For example, if we use a CAD/CAM system full-scale supplier, from the aspects of system and equipment extension, it becomes a comprehensive system user of the supplier, which will bring great convenience to both parties.

Third, we must conduct systematic and effective business training for the management, operation, and maintenance personnel involved in the distribution operations, so that they can grasp the rational and scientific use and management methods of the system, and tap the potential for efficiency in the use of the equipment.

Reliable spreader suppliers will provide effective protection in operational training and follow-up technical support. Through close cooperation with users, the system can not only improve the efficiency of the system, but also increase the skill level of the users and create more value for the company.

Fourth, we must carry out regular maintenance and maintenance in strict accordance with the technical requirements. As the saying goes: "Use it well or not, maintenance is very important." This tells us that we must make good use of routine maintenance measures so that the equipment is always in the best condition.

In addition, we also need to use the supplier's maintenance service policy. For example, some brand manufacturers have regular return visits and maintenance services after the equipment is installed. As a user, garment companies sum up experience in the use of automatic spread system in a timely manner, and then can communicate in a prepared way when the supplier regularly visits, which can improve the effect of return visits.

Fifth, insist on using qualified spare parts and consumables. The parts and components of the spreading system currently on the market are mixed. When selecting spare parts, we must choose spare parts and consumables that meet the technical specifications to ensure reliable and stable operation of the equipment.

According to the author's actual experience, it is the most appropriate method to purchase genuine parts directly from system suppliers. Of course, some people may worry that the system supplier's spare parts price is high. In fact, if they sign a long-term maintenance service contract with the supplier, they will receive a certain discount, which will be more cost-effective.

In addition, the benefits of selecting genuine parts are actually better in terms of the benefits of stable and continuous production of the system.

Technical point of view The use of automated systems to increase production efficiency and stabilize product quality has become the consensus of modern apparel production.

Through many years of practice observation, the author believes that in all aspects of automated production of clothing, automatic distribution is the key link for garment companies to improve the benefits of cutting workshops, and is very important for apparel production. This article will describe in detail the importance of spreading work for apparel production.
