By AI, Created 4:51 PM UTC, May 18, 2026, /AGP/ – IECHO unveiled details on its GLSC series automatic multi-ply fabric cutters, highlighting faster throughput, tighter precision and lower material waste for textile manufacturers. The company says the system is aimed at factories moving from manual or semi-automatic cutting to higher-volume digital production.
Why it matters: - Textile manufacturers face pressure to cut faster, waste less fabric and keep pace with fast-fashion turnaround times. - Multi-ply cutting can move a cutting room from a bottleneck to a high-volume production stage. - IECHO is positioning the GLSC series as a way to improve throughput, consistency and material utilization.
What happened: - IECHO published a product overview for its GLSC series automatic multi-ply fabric cutting systems on May 13, 2026. - The company described the machines as suited for garment manufacturing, upholstery, automotive interiors and other non-metal cutting applications. - IECHO included a link to more information: the company’s announcement.
The details: - The GLSC series is built around an effective cutting height of 90 mm after vacuum suction. - A one-time molded steel frame is formed with a five-axis gantry milling machine. - A new vacuum chamber design limits deformation to 0.1 mm or less. - For lightweight fabrics such as silk, polyester lining and lightweight cotton, the source says the system can handle compressed stack heights based on a 30% to 50% compression ratio under at least 0.6 MPa vacuum pressure. - For heavier materials such as 12 oz denim and industrial canvas, the source says the system is calibrated for lower compressibility and an optimal stacking thickness that supports vertical cutting through dense weave. - The GLSC series has a maximum cutting speed of 90 m/min and a maximum acceleration of 0.8 G. - IECHO says the new cutting-while-feeding function increases overall cutting efficiency by more than 30% and supports super-long patterns without human intervention. - The GLSC-1818, GLSC-1820 and GLSC-1822 models offer effective cutting widths of 1.8 meters, 2.0 meters and 2.2 meters. - The New Intelligent Sharpening System uses a Swiss-imported high-speed sharpening motor that automatically adjusts sharpening speed and pressure. - The Cutting Motion Control System supports zero-gap cutting and smart lines merging. - Average energy consumption is listed at 15 kW·h to 25 kW·h. - Noise levels are maintained at 80 dB or lower. - Optional lateral movement systems and 1-3 punching headers allow factory-level customization. - IECHO says the equipment footprint can be reduced by 20% to 30%.
Between the lines: - The product pitch focuses on converting cutting precision into measurable factory economics, not just machine speed. - The emphasis on vacuum control, blade stability and stack height shows that fabric compression and edge quality remain the main technical challenge in multi-ply cutting. - IECHO is also tying machine performance to service coverage and production uptime, which matters for factories that cannot afford stoppages.
What’s next: - IECHO says its service network includes a 7x24 free service hotline, three branches in Guangzhou, Zhengzhou and Hong Kong, and hundreds of overseas distributors. - The company says it serves users in more than 100 countries from a manufacturing base of more than 60,000 square meters. - The GLSC line appears aimed at manufacturers looking to scale volume while keeping cutting quality and labor requirements stable. - IECHO directs customers seeking optimization support to its website for more information.
