International ClassesG06F 015/46B26D 005/30 AbstractIn the bite-by-bite cutting of a length of sheet material split points for pattern pieces extending between adjacent bites are assigned to bite overlap regions containing sheet material capable of being cut at the cutting station either before or after a given advancement. A method is further given for optimally locating the split points within the bite overlap regions so as to best avoid problems caused by slit notches, V-notches, sharp corners or other discontinuities located close to the split points.Field of SearchWith reorientation of tool between cutsPlural cutting steps effect progressive cut Cut advances across work surface PROCESSES WITH CONTROL MEANS RESPONSIVE TO REPLACEABLE OR SELECTABLE INFORMATION PROGRAM Arithmetically determined program With condition sensor With operator input means Cloth or leather From continuous or wound supply Moving cloth or leather With work support Cutter moves along bar, bar moves perpendicularly Work support comprising penetratable bed | |
