Target market: Upholstery industry and processors of large pattern repeat fabrics. Material use: All textiles or at materials to be cut with pattern matching. The actual pattern repeat might vary in width or length (bow and skew). Special properties: MATCHING Bow&Skew is an optically / visually controlled software application used to adapt the theoretical marker to the actual fabric pattern. The at material is processed directly „off the roll“ in a single layer and photographed in the Matching window. Through an interactive monitor display and with the simplest correction steps, users can compare the real fabric with the marker produced theoretically for pattern matching. Here, the precision cutting shapes are automatically adjusted to the pattern repeat. Since fabric distortion and repeat variations, as a rule, tend to „reproduce“ within the same roll, the software adjusts all changes during the matching process, which reduces the amount of adaptations required. However, it must be taken into account for this particular application that the original geometry may change slightly according to the pattern course, something that requires the presence of a certain tolerance for the machining process. The procedure is controlled via the screen, positioned directly before the cutting process (cutting window) and is most efcient when processing large repeats. By an alternating two-window process (matching - cutting) the automatic precision cut is being fed continuously and therefore operates at high utilization level. The operator requires no expertise in cutting patterned at materials. MATCHING B&S can be operated with any topcut-bullmer cutter. Standard version software • Theoretical repeat processing in separate entries for warp and weft (X/Y) • Automatic import of repeat lines (dimensions) from the marker is possible • Simplied matching through predened horizontal and vertical stripes (pattern) • „Repeat box“ for the denition of adjustment positions (deformation points) outside prominent pattern structures. Precise positioning of such deformation points, e.g. between two pattern strips. • Denition of useable material width at the selvages • Offset value input for the starting point of the rst repeat. • Variable check / stripe lines display (entire surface or dened number). Optimum working range depending on repeat size. • Input tolerance for deviation of the deformation partially optimizes the adjustment automatically. • Input option for expansion (propagation) of the corrections reduces the required adjustments in the workow. Among others, this allows for considering partial deformation also. • Setting variable distortion „points“. This congures the correction grid (display of checked pattern/stripe lines) according to repeat/pattern size. For small repeats, it is sometimes possible to skip lines and therefore also correction points in order to speed up the workow. • Zooming and scrolling the screen image for detail work • Adjustable line colours to improve the respective background contrast (fabric) • Thanks to the adjustable matching mode, the effect of distortion on each cut can be parameterized in working direction. • Automatic import of the respective matching window into the cutting zone (closed marker)
