An automated system comprising:
- a sewing head or ultrasonic welding head configured a) for connecting two or more layers of fabrics, or b) for making a pattern on one or more layers of fabric;
- and a conveyor belt unit comprising i) a conveyor belt adapted for supporting one or more layers of fabric, and ii) a motor unit adapted for moving said conveyor belt;
- said conveyor belt further comprises c) a mechanism adapted for forming a cavity in said conveyor belt, said cavity being formed below said sewing head or ultrasonic welding head;
- and a cutting head adapted for cutting into said cavity.
An automated system comprising:
- a sewing head or ultrasonic welding head configured a) for connecting two or more layers of fabrics, or b) for making a pattern on one or more layers of fabric;
- and a conveyor belt unit comprising i) a conveyor belt adapted for supporting one or more layers of fabric, and ii) a motor unit adapted for moving said conveyor belt;
- said conveyor belt further comprises c) a mechanism adapted for forming a first cavity in said conveyor belt, said first cavity being formed below said sewing head or ultrasonic welding head;
- a mechanism adapted for forming a second cavity in said conveyor belt, said second cavity being formed next to said first cavity;
- and a cutting head adapted for cutting into said second cavity.
An automated system comprising:
- a sewing head or ultrasonic welding head configured a) for connecting two or more layers of fabrics, or b) for making a pattern on one or more layers of fabric;
- and a conveyor belt unit comprising i) a conveyor belt adapted for supporting one or more layers of fabric, and ii) a motor unit adapted for moving said conveyor belt;
- said conveyor belt further comprises c) a mechanism adapted for forming a cavity in said conveyor belt, said cavity being formed below said sewing head or ultrasonic welding head;
- wherein said sewing head or ultrasonic welding head is configured to move in an X-direction and a Y-direction across said conveyor belt;
- and wherein said motor unit is adapted for solely moving said conveyor belt back and forth in the X-direction during an initial positioning of a fabric relative to said sewing head or ultrasonic welding head and during an unloading operation.
An automated system comprising:
- a sewing head or ultrasonic welding head configured a) for connecting two or more layers of fabrics, or b) for making a pattern on one or more layers of fabric;
- and a conveyor belt unit comprising i) a conveyor belt adapted for supporting one or more layers of fabric, and ii) a motor unit adapted for moving said conveyor belt;
- said conveyor belt further comprises c) a mechanism adapted for forming a cavity in said conveyor belt, said cavity being formed below said sewing head or ultrasonic welding head;
- wherein said sewing head or ultrasonic welding head is configured to move solely in a Y-direction across said conveyor belt;
- and wherein said motor unit is adapted for moving said conveyor belt back and forth in an X-direction simultaneously or synchronously with movements and/or activation of said sewing head or ultrasonic welding head.
An automated system comprising:
- a sewing head or ultrasonic welding head configured a) for connecting two or more layers of fabrics, or b) for making a pattern on one or more layers of fabric;
- and a conveyor belt unit comprising i) a conveyor belt adapted for supporting one or more layers of fabric, and ii) a motor unit adapted for moving said conveyor belt;
- said conveyor belt further comprises c) a mechanism adapted for forming a cavity in said conveyor belt, said cavity being formed below said sewing head or ultrasonic welding head;
- and a vacuum system without moving.
