Footwear Production Cutting phase 1

Cutting step of the leather

We talk about the stages of production of footwear. They are four, divided as follows: cutting, sewing, assembly, finishing.
In the first phase, that of the cut, we are going to cut a raw material, leather or synthetic fabrics. For this operation, the machines that are used are the "Punches" and are the same for all types of footwear. The first is used to punching trolley with worktop cm. 160 × 50 is essential for large sizes of skins and rolls of plastic, followed by punching a flag, with worktop cm. 90 × 40 listed for more cuts' children.
After this processing the pieces must be well defined bevelled or exhausted along the edges, to facilitate the overlap later be merged together.
When machining skiving or beveling is used before a machine called "skin splitting" with light of work that ranges from cm. To 30 cm. 40 and subsequently the skiving with work light of cm. 3. Now the cutting phase is finished and semifinished products can go to the next department.
