1. Big Vision Tech: HD Cameras + Projection = Flawless Hide Utilization
At the core of YUCHEN’s leather cutters is a high-definition camera system that revolutionizes how leather defects and contours are handled. Unlike manual inspection—where scratches, holes, or uneven grain are easy to miss—the HD camera captures every detail of the hide, automatically identifying flaws and extracting precise outlines . This data feeds into the machine’s smart system, which marks “no-cut zones” to avoid defective areas, ensuring only high-quality sections are used for cutting.
Complementing the camera is a projection display that enables precise positioning of patterns on the hide. For operators, this means intuitive alignment—no more guesswork when placing designs, and fewer errors that lead to wasted material. Whether cutting for luxury footwear, handbags, or upholstery, this big vision combo lays the groundwork for consistent, high-quality results.
2. Multifunctional Tool Heads: One Machine, End-to-End Processing
YUCHEN’s leather cutters eliminate the need for multiple machines with their all-in-one multifunctional cutter heads, which handle cutting, punching, and marking in a single workflow—slashing production time and reducing labor costs . Here’s how each tool elevates efficiency:
Oscillating Cutting Tools: Powered by brushless DC motors, these tools use high-frequency vibration to tackle different leather types. The standard oscillating tool excels at unbreathable materials like genuine leather, cardboard, and PVC fabric , while the high-power oscillating tool (200W motor, 3-5mm amplitude, higher vibration frequency) handles harder, denser materials such as unvulcanized rubber, gray board, and corrugated cardboard—ideal for leather goods with composite layers.
Punching Tool: Driven by a high-speed rotating rotor and cylinder-controlled movement, this tool creates precise holes as small as 1mm—perfect for belt buckles, bag hardware, or decorative leather details .
Mark Pen: Equipped with solenoid valve or compressed air drive, the mark pen adds labels, logos, or process notes to each leather piece. For brands needing clean post-processing, YUCHEN offers custom high-temperature disappearing inks: these notes vanish instantly with low-temperature ironing, oven heating, or water washing, leaving no trace on the final product .
3. Smart Typesetting & Adsorption: Maximize Material, Minimize Waste
Leather is a costly raw material, so maximizing hide utilization is critical for profitability. YUCHEN’s smart typesetting system addresses this by automatically arranging cut pieces to improve the utilization rate of genuine leather and reduce waste—prioritizing high-value patterns on unflawed sections and fitting smaller pieces in remaining spaces. This intelligent layout translates to thousands in annual savings for factories.
To further enhance precision, the machines use a green felt contrast color tablecloth. The high contrast between the green surface and genuine leather sharpens the camera’s contour recognition accuracy, while the felt’s texture increases friction—preventing the hide from shifting during cutting .
YUCHEN also offers two flexible adsorption methods to secure materials:
Partition Adsorption: Selects the optimal suction range based on the hide’s size, avoiding energy waste on unused table space .
Follow-up Adsorption: Activates the four nearest suction areas as the tool moves, ensuring constant, targeted hold—even for irregularly shaped hides .
4. Assembly Line Integration: Double Beams & Picking Tables for Mass Production
For large factories handling high-volume orders, YUCHEN’s assembly line leather cutting system takes efficiency to the next level. The system first uses a high-precision camera to take pictures, identify, and extract the contours and defects of the leather, then adopts an efficient automatic layout system to arrange cut pieces according to leather priority levels—maximizing leather utilization . It also features:
Dual-Beam Cutting Mode: Two gantries work simultaneously on the same or different materials, cutting multiple patterns at once—doubling production speed without sacrificing accuracy (maintaining ±0.1mm precision across all cuts)
Integrated Material Picking Table: Connected directly to the cutter, this table uses a high-precision projection system to visually guide operators in sorting cut pieces. By projecting labels (e.g., “shoe upper,” “bag flap”) onto the table, it streamlines classification, reduces sorting time, and minimizes mix-ups—critical for complex orders with dozens of part types
Why YUCHEN Stands Out for Leather Businesses
Beyond hardware, YUCHEN’s commitment to user-centric design shines through in its manual typesetting advantages—a nod to businesses that still value hands-on control. Manual typesetting on YUCHEN machines lets operators: visually track the layout process and adjust details in real time; avoid defects directly without relying on camera recognition; distinguish leather grades (e.g., full-grain vs. corrected-grain) during layout; handle small-sized leather scraps more easily; and operate with minimal training, saving time on onboarding new staff . All machines also include essential safety features like emergency buttons, anti-collision devices, and infrared sensors to protect operators and equipment .
