Ultrasonic Cutting Technology

Focus have been pioneers in developing ‘Soft Edge’ Ultrasonic Cutting
Technology for the textile label industry. Traditional ‘Hot Blade’ cutting
systems leave a hard edge to the label causing irritation in garments worn
against the skin such as Lingerie, Underwear, Childrens wear, Casual clothing
etc.

These older cutting methods have become obsolete as Ultrasonic Systems are
installed and the benefits to the label manufacturer and retailer are fully
realised. For the label manufacturer higher production output is possible
allowing quicker completion of orders with reduced wastage and increased
margins. For the retailer, labels in booklet format can carry more information,
they are presented as a better quality product and importantly the label stays
in the garment ensuring full information remains within the product for its
useful life.

Ultrasonic Cutting is now a requirement of many of the leading retail
organisations and it continues to become the adopted standard throughout the
world. The technology uses advanced high frequency vibration causing only
localised heat in the textile fibres. As the fibres break heat quickly
dissipates leaving a sealed edge, but soft to the touch.

Focus label machinery have continued to lead the technology in printed label
applications and have developed a range of systems to be supplied as conversions
to existing cutting equipment or as complete combination printing & ‘In
Line’ Cutting & Folding machinery.
