How do I configure the dual-head 1612 for printed or embroidered fabric?

Printed contour jobs need the optional camera and matched software specified with the dual-head configuration. Automatic feeding handles the roll, while vision provides registration. Send us the actual print or embroidery sample and alignment requirements, then check recognition across both head zones before approving the setup for production.

Can the dual-head 1612 cut plain fabric without a camera?

Yes. Compatible plain fabrics can be cut from your cutting files with automatic roll feeding; the camera is optional for printed contour work. Send us the nest and roll specification, then check both heads, edge quality and indexing over successive sections before approving the plain-fabric production setup.

When do two heads improve output on the 1600 mm-wide 1612?

Two heads help when part size, repeat spacing and supported paths fit the available 1600 mm width. Assess the benefit using your own nesting file and roll. Compare accepted parts over the complete feed, cut and collection cycle so output reflects the jobs and handling steps you actually run.

Can the two 1612 heads follow different cutting paths?

Independent or synchronized paths need to be specified with the controller and motion arrangement. Send us your paired or mixed shapes to review usable spacing and path assignments. Check that layout during the demonstration so the dual-head configuration is matched to the production pattern you intend to cut.

What roll details do you need for the dual-head 1612?

Send us the roll width, diameter, weight, stretch and pattern repeat, together with your 1600 × 1200 mm nest. These details guide feeder selection and usable head spacing. Check tension and tracking on representative stock, then review roll supports and finished-part collection access when agreeing the configuration.

How do I select laser power for the dual-head 1612?

Select from the 100–200 W power classes with the rating and tube arrangement confirmed for each head. Cooling must suit the complete configuration. Trial both heads on your intended fabric and compare edge consistency, then agree the power, air assist and chiller package around those results.

1612 Dual-Head CO2 Fabric Laser Cutter

Application and model selection

Choose the two-head arrangement when the parts and repeat spacing can share the available width. Specify whether the heads follow independent or synchronized paths. Printed sportswear, embroidery and registration-mark jobs require the camera and its software to be included; roll feeding alone does not provide print registration.

Materials and process limits

Typical textile trials include polyester sportswear, nylon, cotton, denim, felt, lace, embroidery and identified nonwovens. Thermoplastic fibers may form sealed edges; natural fibers can char or fray. Check dyes, coatings, backing and adhesives before testing. Safety-critical or protective textile products require separate process validation.

Identify the exact material, coating and adhesive before testing. Do not laser-process PVC, vinyl, PTFE, other halogen-containing materials or unidentified composites. Use material-specific extraction and continuous supervision during cutting.

Production workflow

Load the roll, set tension and align the feeder with the conveyor. For plain fabric, import and nest the cutting file. For vision-equipped models, calibrate the camera, capture the print or embroidery and review the generated contours. Cut a sample, inspect edge and dimensions, then verify indexing across successive feed sections.

Options to specify

Specify roll width, diameter, weight, stretch and print repeat. Head spacing and synchronous or independent motion determine which layouts can run together. Camera field, lighting, edge guidance, chiller capacity, per-head air assist and extraction must suit the complete configuration. Extra heads do not automatically multiply output by the head count.

Plan suitable guarding, interlocks, emergency stops, extraction and operator training for the supplied laser system. The finished machine classification must be verified; an enclosure alone is not proof of Class 1 compliance. Follow the supplied operating and maintenance instructions.

Sample test and acceptance

Approve a representative sample and the written configuration before ordering. Record the material, source, settings, lens or nozzle, fixture, appearance, dimensions and complete cycle time. Keep those results as the production acceptance reference.

Camera recognition limits

Recognition depends on print contrast, lighting, stretch, distortion, camera calibration and the supplied software. Use actual printed rolls to measure contour error, missed detections, edge quality and complete cycle time, including feeding and unloading. Plain-fabric models require an explicitly included vision option for this workflow.

Installation, service and documentation

Ask Vank Laser to include the machine layout, electrical requirements, supplied software, operating instructions, maintenance schedule and recommended spare parts in the technical proposal. Agree commissioning, operator training, support language, warranty coverage and service responsibilities before shipment. Request conformity documents for the actual machine and destination.

Request a sample test and quotation

Send the fabric composition, coating or backing, roll dimensions and weight, artwork or printed sample, head-count preference, contour tolerance and daily output target.

Send the destination country, installation voltage and required delivery scope with your inquiry. Ask for sample photos or video, measured results and a configuration-specific quotation.
