Glossary

A
Automated cutting device a computer-controlled knife, laser, waterjet, plasma, or ultrasound
used to cut textiles and other materials.
Auxiliary materials textile materials of different shape, size, and properties with decorative and
functional use (bands, stripes, ribbons, elastic bands, stickers, light reflectors, and others).
B
Bar code a machine-readable code in the form of numbers and a pattern of parallel lines of
varying widths, printed on a commodity and used especially for stock control.
Bar fabric feeding system the fabric roll is fixed on a bar/shaft put through the carton base of
the fabric roll.
Base fabric textile material on which the thermoplastic adhesive glue is deposited forming
interlining.
Block of fusible components in the marker, separately grouped fusible components to realize
fusing of all block and only after it cutting of every separate component.
Block of small components in the marker, separately grouped small components to realize
their common separation form a spread and are further cut by a band knife machine.
Body of a spreader truck a part of a spreader truck of a spreading machine fixed on displace-
ment wheels, which ensure longwise transportation of a fabric roll above a spreading table.
Bow&Skew option by the help of a specialized software, the pattern pieces in the marker are slightly
shifted, rotated, and even distorted to conform to the pattern course of the fabric ply on the table.
Bundle a stack of cut components, separated from the spread, folded, or tied.

C
Continuous fusing presses a fusing press that ensures permanent fusing process by transport-
ing the components on a conveyer belt.
Conveyor belt a transport belt that moves processed materials in the work zone.
Conveyorized table the surface of the cutting table is movable, which ensures a continuous
cutting process and an increased productivity.
Cradle fabric feeding system a special device, cradle is fixed on the spreader truck body to
transport the fabric roll during the spreading process.
Crossbar (gantry, beam, and cutting bridge) a movable structure that bridges over a cutting
surface and carries the carriage with cutting devices.
Cutting a process during which separate garment components are cut out from a single fabric
ply or a fabric spread in accordance with their shape and number determined by the marker.
Cutting head the main component of a tool-carrying carriage of the automated cutter. A head
may have several tool stations to process material with different tools.
Cutting room a separate area in a production enterprise where garment components are cut out.
Cutter-driving software software to assign different cutting tools to certain shapes in CAD
drawings (different tools are used to cut contours, sharp corners, notches, or holes).
