Examples of the Die Cut Processes used for Automotive trim components
The Auto Interior Soft Trim and Auto Seat Cover Industry is a key sector for Freeman Schwabe Machinery and especially for SCHWABE USA cutting presses, which have a set of unique capabilities to precision cut large quantities of soft fabric material.
Lear Corporation recently presented at the Lear Investor Day Presentation on June27th 2018 background information and data on the company’s industry competitiveness and how they are the fastest growing automotive seat manufacturer.
Freeman SCHWABE is very proud that the Lear Corporation is one of the company’s key clients / customers in the auto / car seat material industry, we have supplied multiple SCHWABE hydraulic cutting presses (with Die Vacuum System) to Lear Corporation during 2017-2018.

SCHWABE USA Cutting Press for High Volume Automotive Trim Components
High volume manufacture of automotive interior trim components is achieved with great precision and excellent material efficiency using Ontario Die International’s die vacuum system on a SCHWABE progressive feed straight ram hydraulic beam press.
DIEVAC® SYSTEM How does the DIEVAC® System work?
Simply. Up to 40cm (10″) of tri-laminate material is positioned on top of the steel rule die or Dieverse TM. Tooling. The hood then encloses the die and material within the carrier, the cutting matrix being mounted in the hood. A vacuum pump then expels the air from the system which draws the hood down and compresses the material to approximately 5cm (2″) in height.
The entire system is then incrementally fed through a hydraulic cutting press specially fitted to suit the DIEVAC® process. When the vacuum is turned off, the lay recovers to its original height and the hood is automatically lifted clear. The components are then removed and the cycle can be repeated with a new lay of material.
