COINDU Group – Driving the world The leather parts are supplied to the cutting area according to the FIFO principle. They are visually controlled once more, placed on the automatic cut- ting machine and scanned. The so-called automatic nesting follows and the leather parts are made into patterns, which in turn make up the final parts. There are seat covers made of fabric or PVC ma- terials and seat covers that are made in leather but require some type of fabric or PVC materials. These parts are cut in automatic machines with drills and blades able to process several layers of raw material at once. At the end of this process, the operators inspect the parts to ensure compliance with quality standards. 3. LEATHER/FABRIC CUTTING Once cut, the parts need to be prepared for sewing. To ensure that the sewing complies with the stand- ards, the edges of the parts are skived, thus ensuring minimal grain and roughness on the areas to sew. 4. LEATHER SKIVING Most customers require foam on the back of the leather parts to obtain a special t. In the lamina- tion process, foam and leather are thermally sealed, exiting the laminating machine as a single piece. 5. LEATHER LAMINATION 26
