Autotrak CNC Controlled Autotrak Template Production System
Autotrak enables Autojig system users to maintain full control over template cost and delivery time with easy on-site manufacturing of stitching templates. The system produces robust, accurate stitching templates (jigs) of proven durability for small or large scale production of precision-made garment components ranging from pocket flaps to jacket foreparts.
Concept Description
- Autotrak is an apparatus for automatic, precise production of sewing templates (jigs), which are used for profile sewing on the Autojig sewing machine.
- Specialized software which is a part of shipment enables preparing data for automatic template cutting on the Autotrak machine. Initial data in form of the sewing or fabric-cutting shape are supplied as DXF vector file. The software creates an output file in form of CNC machining data; this file is then loaded on a USB flash drive and mediates input data into the Autotrak machine.
- Template cutting data preparation can thus be realized in a clean office environment, while its production is carried out separately in a production workshop.
- Templates can be created in two modes:
- A) Semi-automatic mode – the basic shape of the template is created automatically and user can define the overall shape of the template according to his/her needs
- B) Automatic mode – the template cutting data are created automatically based on the input shape
- Autotrak template production machine is a small CNC machining center specially adapted for cutting out shapes from pertinax (phenolic resin sheet) and aluminum.
