METHOD IN ORDER TO APPLY FLAT MATERIAL PIECES OF DESIRED SHAPE TO AN EMBROIDERY BASE BY MEANS OF AN EMBROIDERY MACHINE OR SEWING MACHINE AND A DEVICE FOR AN EMBROIDERY OR SEWING MACHINE IN ORDER ON THE EMBROIDERY BASE TO CUT OUT FLAT MATERIAL PIECES SUCH AS FIGURES MADE FROM ANOTHER MATERIAL APPLIED TO THE EMBROIDERY BASE

摘要

In the case of a method for cutting a material layer (47) on an embroidery base (45), a laser beam (51) is guided in a space (35), which space (35) is placed under negative pressure by suctioning off of air. The focal point (49) of the laser beam (51) is located in the material layer (47), which is located above the opening (41). At higher negative pressure in the cutting device (9), the material layer (47) is drawn to the opening (41) and comes to lie exactly at the focal point (49) of the laser beam (51) and is cut there. At lower negative pressure, only impurities and gases are suctioned off.
