2. Marking frame making (marking planning)
Generally speaking, clothing factories cut cloth into pieces and then combine them into wearable clothes. In order to accurately cut a large number of clothes, it is necessary to adopt special cutting tools and arrange marking frames. After checking the accuracy of the pattern, the pattern pieces are laid flat on the paper and arranged into a combination, which is called a frame in the industry. The function of the frame is to arrange according to the principle of least materials, so as to minimize the direct cost, and the most accurate dosage is calculated from the frame. The layout of the logo frame is a technical activity, and many technical requirements must be considered, such as the pattern direction of the cloth, the width of the cloth, the properties of the cloth, the combination of sizes, the length of the cloth to be drawn, and so on. Computer-aided logo frame design is also one of the earliest and most widely used technologies in clothing industry.
Step 3 pull cloth and cut it
When pulling cloth, workers manually or mechanically stack several layers of clothes with the same length on the cutting machine according to the plan in (1) and the frame length in (2). When finished, put the marker rack on the whole pile of cloth. Then, the cutting technician will cut the material according to the shape of the marking frame. The cut pieces will be classified and bundled according to the requirements of the sewing department. In order to control the production, each cut piece will be labeled and then sent to the sewing production line to sew the whole garment. If the style needs interlining or plain cloth, the required technology is similar.
Strong viscosity
If some pieces need to be glued, they will usually be arranged in the place where gluing machine is placed. Because this is a special machine, it usually uses appropriate heat and pressure to bond the cloth with the park.
Step 5 sew
In this process, these pieces will be stitched into a complete garment. Generally speaking, the sewing process is carried out in a certain order, and different workers sew different parts of clothes. However, the distribution method is to make a production process table in advance (Table 2. 1.8), and use technical management personnel and production management to arrange suitable processes for suitable workers, so that the cut pieces can be circulated to the established workers in the shortest time to sew the whole garment. As for the cut pieces and accessories, they can be sent from one sewing station to another by hand, conveyor belt or overhead conveyor belt. In the garment factory, the number of sewing production lines is the largest in all processes, so whether the management of the garment factory is perfect or not, the proportion of sewing production lines is the largest. For some products with high quality requirements, it is necessary to add intermediate ironing equipment to the sewing production line, and iron the semi-finished products after sewing some processes, and then continue sewing, because it is difficult or impossible to iron some positions after sewing. The arrangement of sewing production line is also different because of different requirements and needs, which is an important topic in clothing production management.
iron and press
After the clothes are finished, they will be ironed to achieve the ideal appearance. Ironed clothes are especially beautiful. When ironing, heat, steam and pressure are mainly needed. Heat and steam soften the material, while pressure helps to shape the cloth into the desired shape. Different fabrics need different steam quantity and pressure.
The equipment required for ironing varies according to different products. The most basic thing is an electric iron. Of course, industrial iron is generally different from domestic iron, and the steam required is also divided into central design and independent type. Because steam is needed, it is generally necessary to have a dehumidifier at the same time to remove excess steam and dry clothes, so that they can maintain a good appearance for a long time. Dehumidifying devices can also be divided into central design and independent devices. In terms of pressure, except for the hand-held electric iron, the general coat making will use the clothes clip machine to increase the aesthetics and durability of the clothes. Secondly, ironing equipment includes conveyor belt, semi-automatic equipment and portrait machine.
7. packaging
Packaging methods can be divided into paperback (folding) or hanging, depending on different products and different customer needs. In the process of paperback or folding, the workers fold each piece of clothing according to the requirements of the guests and put it in a plastic bag. Of course, if necessary, in this process, we should also deal with hangtags or other labels, and then put the packaged clothes into cartons. If customers need to hang clothes, ready-made clothes will also be hung on hangers, and then the plastic bag mouth will be hung and sealed. This process is completed. The freight for hanging is more expensive, and its advantage is that it can keep the appearance of clothes from wrinkling.
8. Warehouse
Boxes of ready-made clothes or racks of ready-made clothes are sent to the warehouse for storage until they are packed (containers) and sent out of the factory. The equipment for producing paperback clothes is different from that for hanging finished clothes warehouses. The finished goods warehouse of the clothes hanging factory needs to be equipped with corresponding equipment for hanging finished clothes, and there are also many pushable frames for internal transportation.
