Abstract: Programmable apparatus for cutting woven fabric wound on a supply roll includes a fabric spreader which pays-off fabric from the supply roll and onto a cutting table as the spreader moves relative to the table. A vibrating member carried by the fabric spreader and over which the payed-off fabric is constrained to pass imparts vibration to a portion of the fabric which extends across the entire width of the fabric to relieve residual stresses within the fabric as it is spread onto the table surface. The spread fabric is immediately cut by a rotary cutting wheel which moves in cutting engagement with the fabric in response to command signals received from a programmable controller.

Abstract: The disclosed system assists an operator in dealing with flaws encountered during the spreading of web material to be cut in accordance with a marker stored in a computer memory. Information representing the location of the flaw is processed by a computer in conjunction with the marker information to yield results visually displayed to the operator concerning the seriousness of the fault's location and corrective action to be taken if the flaw does fall at a troublesome spot. The flaw location representation may be made by manual measurements entered into the system by way of a keyboard or may be made semi-automatically through a two-dimensionally encoded pointer. The visual display may give the operator information concerning a patch or concerning stop and restart lines for making a splice or may display a portion of the marker in the vicinity of the flaw. The display may be digital or pictorial and, if pictorial, may be made on a display area separate from the material web or may be projected directly onto the material web.

Abstract: Single sheets of garment material are spread on work tables for cutting by a computer controlled cutter to provide all pattern pieces for assembly into a particular garment. The pieces are selectively picked up for transport in pairs to first stage sewing stations where they are joined to provide subassembled garment pieces. Robotic devices are used for this transfer and/or joining steps and the process is repeated successively until a finished garment is produced.

Abstract: An apparatus and associated method for indexing a strip of sheet material in fixed amounts along the support surface of a table enable an instrument supported from a carriage spanning the support surface to work on the material in precisely controlled segments and utilize one or two stops fixed in the table and movable engagement means operatively associated with the stops to limit the advancement of the sheet material as the material is indexed. The apparatus includes a transport mechanism connected for movement with the engagement means, and the sheet material is coupled to the transport mechanism for movement along the support surface. The stops define limits of travel of the engagement means and the transport mechanism to precisely fix the amount of advancement of the sheet material between work positions. The indexing operation includes positioning the engagement means at one of the limits of travel, coupling the material to the transport mechanism, and moving the mechanism and material along the support surface until the engagement means reaches another limit of travel.

Abstract: An apparatus for cutting sheet material spread in one or more layers over a supporting surface uses a reciprocating cutting blade cutter movable in two coordinate directions in the plane of the supporting surface to enable the cutting blade to follow a desired line of cut relative to the sheet material. The cutting blade has a leading cutting edge that performs the actual cutting operation with a slicing action. During the cutting operation, mechanical means within the apparatus produces blade dither about the axis of reciprocation in synchronism with the reciprocation strokes of the blade.

Abstract: A photoplotter for use in exposing graphics or artworks on a photosensitive surface by directing a small beam of light onto the surface and moving it relative thereto has an output beam which is repetitively flashed as it is moved over the surface to expose a line. The flashing light beam is produced by intercepting a stationary beam with a cyclically moving mirror to periodically sweep it across a light accepting window, the light energy received by which is directed to the photosensitive surface. The cross-sectional size of the output light beam may be varied to vary the size of the light spot which it creates on the photosensitive surface and to therefore vary the width of the exposed line, and changes in the character of the output beam may be made in accordance with changes in the size of the spot and with changes in its speed relative to the photosensitive surface in order to obtain a desired exposure of all portions of the exposed lines. The photohead may also be designed to deliver a beam of selectively variable color to the photosensitive surface for exposing colored graphics on a color sensitive surface, and two or more beams may be combined into the single delivered output beam to produce a beam of desired color or intensity.

Abstract: A vacuum table has a base and a bristle bed which includes a bristle mat formed from a plurality of molded bristle blocks mounted in closely spaced relation within the table base. Each bristle block has a base portion and a multiplicity of straight or tapered bristles which project upwardly therefrom and cooperate to define a penetrable support surface. Apertures in the bases of the blocks and/or spaces between marginal edges of adjacent blocks define airflow passageways through the mat which communicate with a vacuum source for inducing airflow in downward directions generally parallel to the bristles. The bristle blocks may be supported on a grid or may be self supported.

Abstract: A cutting machine utilizing a high velocity fluid cutting jet for cutting is provided with a receiver to absorb the cutting jet after it passes through sheet material in a cutting operation. The receiver comprises a jet-deflection chamber having an inlet positioned to receive the fluid jet and an inside wall which turns or deflects the jet in a whirling or circular path to dissipate the energy or momentum of the jet. A drain from the chamber may be provided to continually evacuate the spent fluid of the jet.
