Quite often the carpets are themselves loop
pile and the hook Velcro will fasten directly to the carpet.
Elastic loops, ties and plastic clips are all considered
to make sure we provide a liner that will give you good
service.
Next step is to transfer the design into
our state of the art design station...
The paper pattern or template is digitised, transferring the details
onto the Computer workstation where final adjustments are made. The
various options are created and saved into our database of designs
which now number over 500. It's only by the use of this technology
that we can guarantee pattern accuracy is maintained...
Manufacturing instructions are produced and
the data is transferred to the Computer controlled cutting
station...
The machine cuts the parts out to an accuracy
of 0.1mm, and does this with speed and consistency.( A
huge improvement on the old manual method using cardboard
templates.)The pieces are all identified and taken to the
next stage of the process.
The attachment positions are marked and if
Velcro is used, a welding process bonds the Velcro to the
liner...
Finally, the boot liner is ready to be sewn together using our skilled
machinists...
Once produced the liner must then be tested
in the vehicle and any minor alterations or changes can
be made. These modifications then have to be incorporated
in the design and process information before re-checking
the liner and adding the pattern to our model list - not
quite as straightforward as you may have thought!
The process for our Mucky Joe range of seat covers is essentially the
same, except due to the larger number of pattern pieces (up to 100 individual
pieces make a set of tailored covers) the process takes quite a lot longer.
