Another useful application for the Hot Notcher is to sear a deep notcher into the spread
which covers the whole area of the table. This deep notcher allows the cutter to keep the
cutting machine base plate under the spread.
Hot Notchers have been here from a long time. But now their time seems to be ending. Most
of the companies have stopped the manufacture of Hot Notchers and industries have
replaced them with laser equipped notching devices. The main problem that labor face while
using them is that perfect notch cannot be achieved by using them. If the blade overheats
then the notch may become too big and the lay may not be able to pass the quality standards.
The companies who manufacture them these days are-
Miami
Eastman
Wolf
CNC
1. EASTMAN
Model HVN
Marking and Fusing to Ensure Cutting Accuracy
Eastman's Hot Notcher is a multi-purpose tool used for marking and temporarily fusing loosely
woven fabrics to ensure precise alignment and sewing accuracy.
Benefits
Cutting Accuracy
Marking with a visible notch on materials where a slit notch would not be easily seen
Fusing and spreading of heat sensitive material from top to bottom, thus preventing the
spread from shifting during cutting.

The Eastman Blue Jay and the Eastman series of Falcon End Cutters offer significant
improvements in speed, efficiency and accuracy in your end cutting operation. The digitally
controlled Blue Jay automates the task of spreading and cutting material into plies. The track-
guided Falcon enables the spreader to make a fast, perfectly square cut of virtually any
material, no matter how dense, even quilted fabrics and foam up to 1 1/2 inches thick. Included
in Eastman's line of end-cutting systems are:
This machine will give you time-saving advantages with automatic operation
since the auto track cuts while the operator walks back to the roll.
Digital control for greater accuracy and productivity. Pulls single or multiple
plys up to 32 feet long and repeats cycle up to a 9-inch ply height.
The heart of the Falcon line, this manual end cutter produces a clean, straight
cut on both heavy and soft materials.
Heavy Duty Falcon manual spreading and cutting system for heavier
materials.
Auto Track Falcon II
are motorized.
The knife may be activated by the operator either at the control panel or with the remote
control. The remote control enables the spreader to activate the Auto Track Falcon's cutting
cycle as soon as he or she is finished pulling the ply down the table.
The Auto Track Falcon utilizes the same powerful Falcon IV cutting head, operating in
conjunction with a .15-horsepower skate motor that drives the knife across the track.
