How does the four-head 1812 align cuts with printed fabric?

The overhead camera and matched software recognize printed or embroidered contours for the configured four-head layout. Contrast, lighting, calibration and fabric distortion affect the result. Send us your actual printed roll, then check outline alignment and usable head zones before approving the vision workflow for your production patterns.

How much can four heads improve output over a dual-head 1812?

The gain depends on repeat spacing and supported paths across your layout. Compare both configurations on your normal order mix, measuring accepted parts per completed roll. Include loading, recognition, feeding and unloading so you can assess whether four heads improve production enough to suit your investment and handling workflow.

How is the 1800 × 1200 mm area shared between four heads?

The 1800 × 1200 mm dimension is the machine's total work area. Each head's usable zone depends on spacing, clearance and path assignment. Send us your nest to review a layout showing all four cutting zones, then check whether every head can serve the parts you need to produce.

What should I specify for the four-head 1812 laser and controls?

Specify all four heads, laser tube count and per-head power together with the Trocen TL-5269 and matched vision configuration. Review tube assignments, beam paths and usable head spacing with us on the configuration drawing. Your production nest should confirm how the complete arrangement works before you approve the order.

What roll information do you need for the four-head 1812 feeder?

Send us the roll width, diameter, weight, stretch and print repeat. The automatic feeder and indexed conveyor need to handle those conditions across successive sections. Use a representative production roll, including normal splices or tension changes, to check tracking and registration before agreeing the complete feeding setup.

How do I choose power for polyester, cotton or embroidered textiles?

Choose from the 100–200 W power classes after cutting representative samples of your fabric. Confirm the final rating for each head with us. Assess edge appearance and dimensions against downstream sewing or assembly requirements so the selected power and settings suit the material you will actually process.

1812 Four-Head Vision CO2 Fabric Laser Cutter

CO2 Laser Cutting Machines for Fabric

The 1812 four-head vision cutter combines a nominal 1800 × 1200 mm textile conveyor with camera registration and four cutting heads. It is designed for printed or embroidered repeated layouts where head spacing and contour assignment support parallel work.

Application and model selection

The four-head layout must be confirmed separately from the two-head 1812. The brochure shares some component text with the two-head machine, so verify the source count, usable spacing, collision clearance and controller support on the final drawing. Measure complete roll-to-part output using your printed material.

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.
