RFQ Scope for a CNC Fabric Cutting Machine
Buyers should define cutting scope, options and exclusions in the RFQ so suppliers quote comparable CNC fabric cutting machines for woven, knitted, denim and selected nonwoven fabrics.
Start by deciding whether the RFQ covers a single cutting table or a line that also handles slitting, because that choice changes the scope, interfaces and acceptance criteria you ask every supplier to price.
State the fabrics you will run: woven and knitted fabrics, denim and selected nonwovens. Ask each bidder to confirm suitability for your actual mix and to identify any material it would exclude. Request a cutting-speed proposal against the catalog reference of 1–60 m/min, noting that this range depends on material and cut depth, and ask how speed is verified in a demonstration.
Separate required options from exclusions. Should the quote include slitting capability, or is cutting only? Which table sizes, fabric-loading arrangements and software interfaces are in scope? Ask bidders to list what they assume the buyer provides, such as compressed air, extraction or floor preparation.
For acceptance, agree test fabrics, cut patterns and measurable checks before ordering. Confirm the electrical interface: the catalog lists 380 V AC, three-phase, 50 Hz, so ask whether the offered configuration matches your site supply.
Before requesting a quote, confirm with the supplier the exact fabric range supported, whether slitting is included, which options and buyer-supplied services are excluded, how the quoted speed will be demonstrated, and the power-supply requirements of the offered model.
