Analyze the Differences Between Shoe Toe Lasting Machine with Glue and Without Glue

Analyze the Differences Between Shoe Toe Lasting Machine with Glue and Without Glue

2025-11-21
In the assembly line of the footwear manufacturing industry, the toe lasting machine is a core equipment that achieves precise bonding between the upper and the last. Its performance directly determines the forming quality and production efficiency of shoes. With the iteration of automation technology, shoe toe lasting machines have developed into two major categories: "with gluing function" and "without gluing function". Many shoe enterprises often feel confused about the differences between the two and why gluing models have gradually become the market mainstream. This article will reveal the key answers from the perspectives of equipment structure, production process, cost control and other dimensions.
 
Core Differences: The Essential Leap from "Single Function" to "Integrated Operation"
The core function of a shoe toe lasting machine is to tighten the upper and fit it on the last through mechanical structure, completing the key process of "toe lasting". The difference between gluing and non-gluing models essentially lies in the integration degree of equipment functions, which is specifically reflected in three aspects: structural design, operation process and operation stability.

1. Structural Design: Whether Equipped with an Integrated Gluing System
Without gluing toe lasting machines are "basic" equipment. Their structure only includes core components such as last support base, tightening assembly, leather support and blade assembly, focusing on completing the clamping, positioning, folding and fitting of the upper, without any devices related to gluing. The design logic of such equipment is "division of labor and cooperation", which needs to be used with independent gluing machines or manual gluing processes.
 
Gluing toe lasting machines, on the other hand, integrate a complete gluing mechanism and auxiliary fastening system based on the basic structure. The gluing mechanism is usually installed at the lower end of the last, which can preset the gluing track according to the shoe type and realize precise glue discharge with the servo glue feeding system. Some high-end models are also equipped with a movable fastening mechanism around the gluing mechanism, which can secondarily press the bonding part through components such as bearing rings and arc connecting blocks, solving the problem of "bonding failure caused by insufficient pressing" of traditional equipment. For example, the glue pen type intelligent toe lasting machine of Chengfeng Machinery also integrates visual technology, which can quickly generate glue wiping tracks by photographing the insole board and automatically adapt to shoe models of different sizes.

 

2. Operation Process: From "Separate Multi-Process" to "One-Stop Completion"
The operation process of non-gluing toe lasting machines is obviously "separated": workers need to complete the gluing of the upper or last manually or with a gluing machine at an independent workstation first, and then transfer the glued workpieces to the toe lasting machine for toe lasting and fitting. In this process, not only additional operation space and labor are required, but also the curing time of glue after gluing is uncontrollable, which may cause some workpieces to lose the best bonding activity when transferred to the toe lasting machine, affecting the fitting effect.
 
Gluing toe lasting machines realize the one-stop operation of "gluing - toe lasting - pressing": after workers place the non-glued upper on the equipment, the equipment will automatically complete a series of actions such as positioning, gluing, tightening and fitting. Some models can also specifically squeeze the folded part of the upper through the convex edge design, further improving the bonding reliability. Taking the glue pen type toe lasting machine of Chengfeng Machinery as an example, it can complete the toe lasting of 8 pairs of shoes per minute, while the traditional non-gluing equipment with manual gluing can only complete less than half of the workload in the same time.
 
3. Quality Control: From "Manual Dependence" to "Precise Control"The bonding quality of non-gluing toe lasting machines highly depends on the standardization of manual gluing: excessive glue will easily cause glue overflow and contaminate the upper, while insufficient glue will lead to problems such as infirm bonding and glue opening; the deviation of gluing track may also cause fitting misalignment and increase rework costs. At the same time, the consistency of manual gluing is poor, and even skilled workers can hardly ensure that the gluing effect of each pair of shoes is completely uniform.

II. Choosing Gluing Models: The Dual Necessity of Cost Reduction, Efficiency Improvement and Quality UpgradeIn the current increasingly competitive footwear manufacturing industry, "cost reduction and efficiency improvement" and "quality upgrading" have become the core demands for the survival and development of enterprises. The reason why gluing toe lasting machines can replace non-gluing models and become the market mainstream is precisely because they perfectly meet these two core demands. The specific advantages are reflected in the following four aspects:
 
1. Significantly Reduce Labor Costs and Improve Production Efficiency
Example the without gluing toe lasting machines require special gluing workers. Taking a shoe factory with a daily output of 2,000 pairs of shoes as an example, it usually needs 2-3 skilled gluing workers to cooperate with one toe lasting machine, and the monthly labor cost is as high as tens of thousands of yuan. Gluing toe lasting machines, however, can directly eliminate the independent gluing workstation, and one worker can complete the equipment operation and loading/unloading, reducing labor costs by more than 60%. At the same time, integrated operation eliminates the waiting time for workpiece transfer, and the continuous operation efficiency of the equipment is significantly improved. The production capacity of some intelligent models can reach 2-3 times that of traditional equipment.
 
2. Precisely Control Glue Amount and Reduce Material WasteGlue cost accounts for a large proportion of the auxiliary material cost in shoe manufacturing. The glue waste rate of traditional manual gluing is as high as more than 30%, while gluing toe lasting machines can control the glue amount error within 0.1g through servo glue feeding and intelligent glue control technology. According to the data provided by Chengfeng Machinery, the annual hot melt adhesive cost of shoe factories using gluing toe lasting machines can be reduced from 120,000 yuan to 36,000 yuan, saving 70% of the glue cost. This precise control not only reduces material waste, but also reduces the labor cost of glue overflow cleaning and the scrap rate of uppers.
 
3. Improve Product Qualification Rate and Strengthen Brand Competitiveness
Problems such as shoe glue opening and uneven fitting are common reasons for consumer complaints and key factors affecting brand reputation. Due to the uncertainty of manual gluing, the product qualification rate of non-gluing toe lasting machines is usually about 92%, while gluing toe lasting machines can increase the qualification rate to more than 99% through mechanical automatic gluing and secondary pressing technology. Stable product quality can effectively reduce after-sales costs, and at the same time help enterprises establish quality advantages in order competition. Especially in the field of high-end shoe production, gluing toe lasting machines have become essential equipment.
 
4. Adapt to Flexible Production and Reduce Changeover Costs
At present, the orders in the footwear manufacturing industry show a flexible trend of "small batch and multiple styles", and frequent production changeover has become the norm. For non-gluing toe lasting machines with manual gluing, each changeover requires re-training workers to be familiar with the gluing requirements of new shoe models, and the changeover time is usually more than 30 minutes. Gluing toe lasting machines, however, can quickly switch the parameters of different shoe models through intelligent size recognition and visual track setting technology. The changeover time of some high-end models is only 5 minutes, which greatly improves the ability of enterprises to respond to multi-variety orders.
 
III. Buying Suggestions: Prioritize Intelligent Gluing Models Based on Production Capacity NeedsFor small family workshops or micro shoe factories with an annual output of less than 100,000 pairs, if the budget is limited and they mainly produce simple shoe models, non-gluing toe lasting machines can be temporarily used as a transition. However, from the perspective of long-term development, the cost-effectiveness advantage of gluing toe lasting machines is very obvious. It is recommended to focus on three points when purchasing: first, the adaptability of the gluing mechanism, and priority should be given to models compatible with various glues such as EVA and PUR; second, the intelligence level of the control system to ensure that the equipment supports parameter storage and rapid changeover; third, whether it is equipped with a secondary fastening mechanism to improve the stability of bonding quality.
