| (54) | APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR CONTINUOUS DETECTION AND CUTTING OF FABRIC FOR ITEMS OF CLOTHING |
| (57) The invention describes an apparatus (1) for continuous detection and cutting of
fabric (tes_i) bearing a predefined real striped and checked pattern (TexR_i), for
making an item of clothing (Ci), it comprises a loading area (A1) for loading fabric
(tes_i); movement means (10) for moving the fabric (tes_i); detection means (20) arranged
to detect from the fabric (tes_i) at least effective points (P1_i) representative
of meeting points detected in the predefined pattern (TexR_i); a processing unit (40)
for processing effective (P1_i) and/or theoretical points (P0_i;i=1..n) configured
to: receive the theoretical points P0_i, representative of a theoretical pattern (Tex_i)
reproduced on component parts (Cij) of items of clothing (Ci); receive the effective
points (P1_i) detected, representative of meeting points detected of the predefined
real pattern (TexR_i) in the fabric (tes_i) detected; make a comparison by points
between the theoretical points (P0_i) and the effective points (P1_i); determine real
meeting points (PR_i) of the real pattern (TexR_i) in the component parts (Cij) at
least according to the comparison by points; a cutting area (A2) arranged downstream
of said loading area (A1); a cutting head (30) configured to cut the fabric (tes_i)
according to the real meeting points (PR_i) determined. The invention also describes a corresponding method for continuous detection and cutting, a computer program configured to perform the method, and a graphical user interface configured to display on a display device the steps performed by the method and/or by the computer program. |
