PIN TABLES
Pin tables have rows of pins located below the
surface that can be extended through slats to
hold fabric in a precise location for accurate
matching of pattern repeats.
VACUUM TABLES
Vacuum tables are used to compress the lay-up
and prevent shifting or movement during cutting.
The spread is covered with plastic film that forms
a seal over the lay-up when a vacuum is applied.
E.g. quilted fabric
CONVEYOR TABLES
