According to Forward Technology Industries, cutting thermoplastic fibre
reinforced textiles using ultrasound provides a superior finish to that
of more traditional techniques, and saves costs. The company has been
developing its Rinco Ultrasonics range to meet these needs, and is now
providing machines that can cut up to seven metres in a single sweep at
rates of up to 60m/min. Generally, fabrics with a composition greater
than 50% of thermoplastic fibres will accept the ultrasonic method of
cutting. A smooth, clean and, above all, heat-sealed, non-fraying edge is
achieved, which requires no further processing.
