Leather types can be divided into two categories: natural leather and artificial leather. Natural leather is made from animal skin through tanning and other processing processes, and common leathers include cowhide, sheepskin, pigskin, horsehide, etc. Artificial leather (also called artificial leather or imitation leather) is made of synthetic materials, mainly including PVC artificial leather and PU artificial leather.
CNC leather cutting machine is an automated leather cutting machine with an oscillating knife, which can be used to cut all the leather mentioned above. Specifically, CNC leather cutting machine can be used for:
- Sofa Leather Cutting
- Car Seat Leather Cutting
- Shoes Leather Cutting
- Clothing Leather Cutting
- Bags And Wallets
- Sports Equipment Leather Cutting
- Leather Brand Logo Or Customized Letters Cutting
- Leather Handicrafts And Artwork Material Cutting
Signkey has the following models for leather cutting:
Among them, we most recommend ES-6090/ES-1312 and ES-R1625OD for leather cutting. These leather cutting machines are equipped with CCD visual precise positioning and recognition systems, which can achieve precise positioning and cutting of leather materials through high-definition cameras and image recognition technology.
In addition, the ES-R1625OD model can also choose different machine sizes for different material sizes.
Leather is a material that requires precise processing, and CNC leather cutting machines can accurately control the position of the X, Y, and Z axes, ensuring high-precision cutting while effectively avoiding burrs and irregular edges. Additionally, the structural design of CNC leather cutting machines reduces vibrations during the cutting process, preventing unsightly marks along the cut edges. A well-constructed machine with a high-quality mounting base significantly minimizes vibrations, thereby improving cutting quality.
Complex patterns or curved shapes in leather are challenging to cut without errors or defects. CNC leather cutting machines, however, combine edge detection systems with high-precision control systems to enhance cutting performance. For example, the Signkey CNC leather cutting machine is equipped with a CCD system that quickly identifies leather edges and provides precise positioning, ensuring cutting accuracy.
Using advanced CAD/CAM software, CNC leather cutting machines ensure accurate programming and precise cutting positions. This maximizes material usage, reducing the amount of unused leather. Additionally, by employing nesting techniques, the arrangement of parts on the material is optimized, further maximizing material efficiency and minimizing waste.
CNC leather cutting machines offer powerful capabilities, performing multiple operations such as cutting, engraving, and perforating in a single process. Beyond leather, they can also handle other materials like cardboard, thin plastics, rubber fabrics, gaskets, and various types of stickers.
Compared to traditional manual methods, CNC leather cutting machines utilize operational software that directly supports vector file formats such as DXF and PLT and includes automatic layout functions. This eliminates the need for costly and time-consuming molds, reducing mold creation expenses. Additionally, these machines can quickly modify designs to meet different requirements without starting from scratch. This flexibility allows designers to easily adjust sizes or curves, enhancing design freedom and fostering innovation.
CNC leather cutting machines can handle a wider variety of materials, including different types and thicknesses of leather. While laser cutting machines can also process leather, CNC machines are more effective at managing varying thicknesses and hardness levels.
CNC leather cutting machines can perform deeper cuts and create intricate three-dimensional designs. This gives them an advantage over laser cutting machines when it comes to applications involving embossing or sculptural elements on leather.
Laser cutting relies on focused laser beams to heat and vaporize materials, which carries a risk of heat damage. In contrast, CNC leather cutting machines use rotating blades to physically remove material, reducing the likelihood of heat-related issues. Additionally, many CNC machines come equipped with cooling systems, such as water-cooling units, which help minimize heat generation during the cutting process.
CNC leather cutting machines use blades for cutting, producing no smoke or dust. Unlike laser machines, they do not burn the edges, ensuring that the cut surfaces remain clean and free of scorch marks. This results in a more polished and professional finish.
1. Select a CNC leather cutting machine that supports complex path programming and automatic tool calibration to simplify operations and enhance production efficiency. For example, the Signkey CCD CNC leather cutting machine features advanced programming software, significantly improving ease of processing.
2. Choose a CNC leather cutting machine with a vacuum worktable. This feature creates suction on the material’s surface, securely holding the leather in place during cutting. It prevents material movement or vibration, ensuring cutting precision and quality. Additionally, it eliminates the need for other fixing methods like clamps or adhesives, streamlining operations while reducing potential damage to the leather surface.
3. Select the appropriate tool length for a CNC leather cutting machine based on the leather thickness. For special applications or custom needs, customized tool lengths can also be considered. For thin leather (0.5mm to 1.5mm), tools with a blade length of about 2mm are suitable. For medium-thickness leather (1.5mm to 3mm), a blade length of approximately 4mm is recommended.
