Easy, accurate pattern matching and piece identification

Gerber Technology introduces three modules and a par t identification system that are used to maximize the accuracy of fabric matching, minimize bow, skew and repeat irregularities, and simplify
par t identification. Comprised of advanced software and an overhead projection system,  these are used after material is spread and before or after it is cut, and are options to all GERBERcutter®  Single-Ply systems.

Textile irregularities and flaws are common in most materials, and pose a par ticular challenge to upholster y and apparel manufacturing, where matching is critical. The pattern matching modules provide solutions to these common problems.

Match Module — Using this module, you can perfectly align stripes, plaids, florals, and five- star fabrics. Move the projected images of the par ts up, down, left, right, or slightly rotated until the desired location is reached. Match and cut almost simultaneously, or ”on the fly.”

MatchPro Module — This module may be added to the Match Module and provides the ability to distor t par ts and cut them to match the bow and skew
inherent in the fabric.
 
ManualNest Module— You can move individual par ts around on the table or mix par ts from several different jobs together, to create your own nests. Move par ts to avoid flaws in the material or nest on fabric remnants or other irregular-shaped goods.

Part Identification System — Identify cut pieces as they are removed from the cutter. The overhead projector projects par t outline and annotation directly onto the fabric, making it easy for the operator to identify par ts and place them in the correct bins for assembly.
