Finding industrial sewing machine operators that are skilled and available can be a challenge, but it doesn’t have to be. In recent years, welding has become a viable option when seaming industrial materials. If you have been thinking of making the switch from Industrial Sewers to an alternative option, now is the time. Finding the machine that best fits your sewing needs can be tricky, which is why we took four major industrial sewing applications and matched them with the welder that is best suited for the job

If you are Sewing Based on a Pattern, We Suggest:
The Ultrasonic Automatic Weld and Cut
Using Ultrasonic technology to cut and weld the edges of a variety of materials, the JTE Ultrasonic X/Y Cutting System is the only system of its kind to take a pattern cut file, automatically upload it into the cutting software to achieve a weld and cut simultaneously- including curved edges. This machine is ideal for the manufacturing of sleeping bags, valances and awning products, inset screens, solar
coverings, and digitally printed polyesters.
This machine includes a specially designed bridge and tooling which ensures a reliable, consistent and efficiently produced welded edge at the same time a pattern is required to be cut. It is also great for straight line cutting. With this solution, it is possible to eliminate entire processes of surging, sealing or hemming within the current production system, saving time, and improving the product quality.

Seats and Mattress Covers
If you are sewing three-dimensional seat or mattress covers, you may want to consider RF Welding as a very efficient way to weld the envelope, corners and even closing seams for volumes of seats and covers.

If your machine is not as efficient as you would like, your welder may not be the right machine for the job.
