Can I configure the four-head 1612 for printed fabric contours?

Yes, with the optional camera package and matched software specified in your order. Send us representative prints and fabric for a recognition trial. Check the required contour alignment across the four-head layout to decide whether the vision configuration suits your artwork, material behavior and intended production workflow.

Can the four-head 1612 cut four lanes across my fabric roll?

Four lanes are possible only when your patterns fit the configured head spacing and clearances. The total work area is 1600 × 1200 mm. Send us the roll width and nesting file to review each head's usable zone, then test narrow repeats or larger panels within that layout.

Should I choose the four-head or dual-head 1612?

Compare them with the same fabric, nesting file and normal mix of small repeats and larger panels. Four heads help when spacing, path assignments and roll width suit the job. Assess accepted production and changeover effort across complete batches to decide which arrangement fits your workflow and order mix.

How are the four 1612 heads controlled?

The four-head 1612 uses Ruida RDC6445S with configured multi-head control. Independent motion depends on the actual head and drive arrangement. Review path assignments, spacing and restrictions with us, then demonstrate your nesting file to check whether different parts can run together on the configuration you plan to order.

How do I specify laser power and tube count for the four-head 1612?

Specify the tube arrangement and rating for all four heads when choosing from the 100–200 W power classes. Review the source schedule with us alongside your fabric cutting samples. Confirm cooling and power requirements for the complete arrangement so every head is accounted for in the final configuration.

What should I check during a four-head 1612 feeding trial?

Use a representative production roll to check alignment and tension through successive indexed feed sections. Include your usual loading, cutting and collection steps in the trial. Assess dimensions, edge quality and suitability for the next operation throughout the run before approving the automatic feeder and conveyor setup.

1612 Four-Head CO2 Fabric Laser Cutting Machine

CO2 Laser Cutting Machines for Fabric

The VK-1612 four-head fabric cutter uses a nominal 1600 × 1200 mm conveyor area for repeated roll-material patterns. Four cutting heads can share compatible layouts for garment panels, labels, appliqué and other approved flexible parts.

Application and model selection

Compare four heads with the dual-head 1612 using the same nesting file and fabric. Extra heads help only when spacing, path assignment and roll width fit the job. The brochure contains reused two-head wording, so the order must identify all four heads, their sources and control arrangement explicitly.

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.
