Reading the spec sheet —
bed size and laser power
Two numbers decide which machine suits a shop, and they answer different
questions. The bed size is about what you cut; the laser power is about how much of it.
Bed size ranges from 600x900mm to 1600x1000mm, and the rule is
the largest single pattern piece you handle - not the largest garment. A saree blouse or a shirt
front sits comfortably on the smaller bed. Full-length trousers, coat panels and layouts where
several pieces are nested together to save cloth need the larger one, because nesting is where
the waste reduction of over 40% comes from and it needs room to work.
Laser power is offered at 60W, 80W, 100W and 130W. More power
is not about a better cut - precision stays at 0.05mm and speed at up to 1000mm per second
across the range. It is about thickness and layers: a shop cutting single-layer chiffon and
georgette asks less of the tube than a uniform unit pushing several layers of denim or canvas
through in one pass. Tell us the fabrics you cut most and the volume you run, and the demo will
show you the difference on your own cloth.
Both come with the same one-year on-site warranty covering the tube, the same
belt auto-feed for unattended running, and the same direct import from Fashion Dot CAD - so the
choice is only ever about size and throughput, never about what the machine can do.
Cutting mainly blouses rather than production runs? The smaller bed is sold as a
blouse cutting machine for boutiques, and it is the same machine and the same warranty as the sizes above.
