When the body cloth moves to the welding positions of the shoulders, the shoulder welding die cylinders move downwards to push the welding die head fixing plates to move downwards, then the shoulder welding die heads are driven to move downwards to a top plate of the body locating frame 94 to carry out ultrasonic fusion welding on the shoulders, so that the welding of the front body cloth and the rear piece cloth is completed, and the shoulders are directly welded to the positions of the sleeves.
Body separation is carried out after shoulder welding is completed. Body separation may be needed because in reality, cloth fabrics for two or more bodies may be led and processed at once, resulting in two or more apparel items manufactured in one round of assembly. A separation process is thus needed in such situations.

The device shows in
According to one implantation manner of the present invention, the cutters for cutting the left rear collar and the right rear collar are combined with the cutter in the step, so that the cutters not only have a function of separating the two pieces of clothing, but also have a function of cutting the left rear collar and the right rear collar.
Then, the ready-made clothing after body separation is folded.

When the clothing passes the folding device (a plurality of rows of belts are arranged on the folding device and are controlled to rotate by a motor, thereby ensuring that the clothing is conveyed on the folding device), the left side body pressing plate 113 and the right side body pressing plate 116 are used for pressing the body position and have a fixing function, then the left side sleeve folding rod 111 and the right side sleeve folding rod 114 rotate to hook the sleeves and the belts and folding the sleeves and the belts at the position which is above the body.
In reality, when apparel components are moving along the assembly direction at various stages, it is important to make sure the clothes do not drift from the designated moving direction; otherwise the seaming and welding processes may be of error. In some embodiments, the system uses a processor and a sensor that monitors the transmission of the clothes on transmission belts and/or via guide rollers. In response to the sensor detecting a cloth is drifting from a designated moving direction, the processor controls the transmission belt to move the cloth back to the designated moving direction. The processor also controls the speed of the guide rollers to be the same to keep various stages of manufacturing in sync. Moreover, the guide rollers in the system are all in parallel to each other and perpendicular to the assembly direction.
In addition, because the sleeves are made in parallel to the body assembly line, the sleeve makers each have a sleeve moving platform that moves the sleeves to the sleeve welding device. The sleeves nay be very light and thin, so it is important to keep the sleeves from being displaced. To this end, the sleeve moving platform includes a plurality of vacuum suction cups that suck the sleeves. The sleeve moving platform also includes a pressure sensor that detects whether the sleeves are fastened to the vacuum suction cups. When the pressure sensor detects that the sleeves are fastened, the mechanical arms of the left and right sleeve feeders pick up the sleeves and start the welding process.
