QUILTED FABRIC PANEL CUTTER

摘要

An apparatus for cutting a quilted material web (20) having a quilted patterns (32,34) thereon into panels (24,26) having a desired length and width with respective quilted patterns centered therein. A first detector (182) detects a center of a quilted pattern on the quilted material web; and in response thereto, a cutting apparatus (120,150,152) cuts the quilted material web to form edges (36,38,40,42) of a panel equidistant from the quilted pattern center. The cutting apparatus includes a pair of trim blades (150,152) that cut opposite side edges of the panel equidistant from the quilted pattern center and a cross cutting apparatus (120) that cuts end edges of the panel equidistant from the quilted pattern center.
