Artificial Turf Carpet Cutting Machine

An artificial turf carpet cutting machine is a digital cutter that uses an oscillating knife or servo round knife to cut synthetic grass and carpet into any shape with high speed, high accuracy, and very low labor input. It is designed to replace manual cutting with an automated, repeatable process that keeps your turf projects consistent from piece to piece.

Why artificial turf needs better cutting

Artificial turf has high density, good abrasion resistance, and long service life, so it is widely used on football fields, baseball and rugby pitches, indoor golf, fitness venues, and garden landscaping. As applications expand, more projects require customized shapes, curves, logos, and border pieces that are hard to cut accurately by hand.

Traditional processing relies on workers using knives, electric shears, or long straight cutters to cut turf strips. This approach is slow, labor-intensive, limited to straight lines or simple rectangles, and almost impossible to use for complex graphics at consistent quality.

How the turf cutting machine works

The artificial turf carpet cutting machine is a CNC system with a conveyor or flatbed table, servo-driven gantry, and a tool head that can be configured with a 400 W oscillating knife or a servo-driven round knife, depending on the backing of the turf. Once you send the cutting file to the machine and press start, the system automatically performs continuous cutting and feeding, completing large jobs with minimal operator intervention.

• Speed and accuracy

• Servo motors and rack-and-pinion transmission provide high cutting speed and stable precision, even on long pieces of turf or carpet.

• The system follows digital patterns exactly, so every piece matches the drawing, not the operator’s hand skill.

• Simple software and workflow

• The operating software is easy to learn and supports multiple drawing formats and mainstream design software, which simplifies the whole processing flow from design to cutting.

• Operators mainly handle file import and job start, rather than continuous manual guiding and trimming.

Key benefits compared with manual cutting

Moving from hand tools to a CNC artificial turf cutting machine brings clear advantages in productivity, quality, and safety.

• Labor saving and automation

• After you load the file and start the job, the machine cuts automatically and can auto-feed to continue cutting, which greatly improves throughput and reduces dependence on skilled manual labor.

• One operator can oversee a much larger output than with traditional methods.

• Any shape, consistent result

• The machine can cut graphics of almost any shape and size—curves, arcs, letters, logos, and irregular borders—without the limitations of manual straight-line tools.

• Cutting effect does not vary from person to person; repeat orders will match previous jobs as long as the same file is used.

• Safety in daily production

• Emergency stop switches at the four corners and anti-collision devices on the beam help prevent injury and protect equipment during operation.

• This improves the overall safety level in the workshop compared with manual cutting with open blades.
