Blade cutting system Virga series

rotary bladefor fabricssingle-ply fabric

Overview
The Virga Fashion is a single-ply fabric cutting solution engineered for on-demand garment production. Integrated with Valia Fashion, it connects order intake to cutting for small series and one-off runs, enabling a responsive manufacturing flow.

Key benefits

• Produce on demand for small batches and single-piece runs without relying on multilayer cutting.
• Link order reception to cutting when integrated with Valia Fashion for automated workflows and equipment synchronization.
• Improve throughput and reduce material waste and consumable usage.

Features & Benefits

• Optimize throughput from loading to offloading — visual loading assistance with on-screen instructions, camera-based fabric positioning, rotary-driven blade enabling up to 120 m/min and dedicated tools for notches.
• Reduce cost per cut piece — increased productivity per m² with no paper/plastic consumables, compact design lowering energy use and a blade lifespan of approx. 35 km.
• Manage last-minute changes — synchronize equipment with the Valia cutting platform for process visibility, automatic recuts of rejected parts and simple job sequencing via the user interface.
• Improve operator ergonomics — guided offloading, job sequencing, visual indicators and an advanced safety system for the cutting zone.
• Automatic motif cutting (option) — characterize, scan, recognize and match motifs during cutting (option available on Virga M-Series).

Challenges addressed

• Respond quickly to trends and deliver the right product at the right time with on-demand speed comparable to ready-to-wear cycles.
• Add agility to move from forecasting to responsive production for small series, customization and made-to-measure garments.
• Mitigate skilled labor shortages by centralizing production information and allocating operators where most needed.
• Improve profitability and sustainability by optimizing fabric consumption and reducing waste and consumables.

The Virga range

• Virga M-Series — designed for patterned fabrics with a high-definition vision system and motif-matching algorithms.
• Virga P-Series — high-performance single-ply cutting line tailored for plain fabrics and integrated on-demand production.
