METHODS AND SYSTEMS OF CUTTING A PANEL FROM A QUILTED MATERIAL WEB

摘要

A method of cutting a quilted material web (20) into a panel (24) having a quilted pattern (32) therein. A mark (48) is applied to the quilted material web at a location within a width and length of the panel; and the quilted material web is moved in a longitudinal direction with respect to the panel. The mark is detected while moving the quilted material web, and a controller (219) determines, with respect to the mark, cutter positions that define the width and the length of the panel. Thereafter, cutters (120, 150, 152) operated by the controller cut the quilted web material along the width and the length of the panel, thereby cutting the panel from the quilted material web.
