The advantages of industrial fabric welding

As you would expect with the versatility of our tools, you can use these for many different industrial fabrics. These materials include vinyl, polypropylene, thermoplastic rubber fabrics, and nonwoven polyesters. The number of applications matches the wide selection of materials. Graphic banners, awnings, tents, and roofing materials can be manufactured by industrial fabricators through welding.

Due to the combination of high temperature and pressure applied, the process of industrial fabrication welding sees the fabric pieces being fused together. This results in strong bonds that make the finished product less liable to leaks or breaks. Other benefits of using specialist welding tools include smooth finishes, improved production rates, and greater abrasion and water resistance.

Commonly Asked Questions for Industrial Fabrics

What is an industrial fabric?
Industrial fabrics are created for use in products, services, or processes, where their purpose goes beyond the norm when it comes to textiles. Far outside the world of apparel, industrial fabricators make use of these materials for a wide range of high-performance, challenging applications.

What is the best machine for cutting industrial fabric?
When working with industrial fabrics, it is not just welding systems that have to be considered. You also have to think about cutting machines to ensure the products you manufacture are the right size. These machines are also vital when dealing with high-volume production when you need to meet strict deadlines.

However, different types of machines are available for cutting industrial fabric, which can make it tricky to decide which is the best one for the job. You have multi-layer fabric-cutting machines, industrial die-cutting machines, digital cutting machines, and CO2 laser cutters. CO2 laser cutting machines are often regarded as the best choice for most industrial fabrics.

What fabric is not recommended for welding?
Just like there are certain materials to avoid when it comes to metal fabrication, it is the same story with industrial fabrication. The most obvious starting point is natural fibers like wool and cotton. These are not recommended for welding for one simple reason: they do not melt. Acrylic fibers and aramid fibers are also not compatible with welding.
