Process equipment is the assistive device of shoe machine, the technological means of shoe product change, and the important condition for shoe production efficiency and product quality improvement. Process equipment is the general term for mould, fixture, tool, abrasive tool and special accessories used in machine shoe making process, or is called tooling for short. In the production of traditional hand-made shoes and modern machine shoemaking, shoe last runs through the whole process from shoe design to assembly production and component production. A shoe is no shoes for shoe last is no shoe design and production. Shoe last is one of the most basic process equipment for shoemaking. Not only is the last shoe design, technology and production basis, and shoe design and process equipment design basis. The change of shoe last leads to the change of shoes shape and style, and also leads to the change of mould, fixture, cutter, abrasive tool and special accessories on the shoe machine. Only the matching and organic combination of the three of shoe last, shoe machine and tooling can give full play to the production efficiency of the shoe making equipment, so as to ensure the variety of the colors and improve the quality of the shoes. Fundamentally, to improve the production efficiency and quality of the product, the variety and fast change of the shoe products determine the need for different types and different functions and different forms. As long as they are engaged in the production of machine shoes, there can be no changing and superior quality.

If traditional hand making is a simple tool to shape the shoe type through a shoe last, modern machine shoe production is a complex machine equipment that shapes the shoe type through the tooling and last, and increases the efficiency of production to a large extent at times or even dozens of times. In the production of machine shoes, if the shoe machine is not matched with the working phase, it becomes a non soul thing that will only "action" but not "work", and it loses the important role of the shoe making equipment. If the shoe machine is regarded as the "hardware" of the production of shoe making, then the tooling is the "software" on the "software" on the shoe machine, and what kind of shoe products and shoe parts will be produced by the shoe machine.  Obviously, the role of process equipment is important and can not be ignored.

Effect of process equipment in shoemaking equipment: machine is to do more good shoes, shoes, this is the starting point and purpose of it. However, there is no good work packing facilities, good shoes can not achieve the purpose. The specific function and model of the shoe machine has a specific motion program, no matter how the shoe last shape and the style of the shoe changes, the shoe machine is moving according to its fixed process. However, the shape of the shoe last and the style of the shoe are changing with the demand of the market. In the contradiction of the constant change of the movement procedure of the shoe and the change of the shoe last, it is necessary to change the equipment with the change of the shoe last and the shoe money in order to make the shoe efficient. This can be seen that only the shoe machine with different forms, different functions, matching the shoe last molding process equipment, can produce a variety of shoes with various styles.

The complexity of shoemaking technology makes shoe making equipment also have many kinds, many models and strong manufacturability. In terms of shoemaking production, the process equipment is the decisive factor after the shoe making equipment is determined. The renewal period of shoemaking equipment is relatively long, generally about years, and the renewal cycle of technological equipment is relatively short. As long as shoe last modeling changes, tooling must be changed. The smaller the production batch, the shorter the renewal period of tooling. The structure and size of the tooling are interchangeable with the same type of shoe machine to meet the needs to be replaced and adjusted quickly. The shape and size of the tooling must be in accordance with the shape and size of the shoe last at the shoe last shape and size to adapt to the change of the shape and size of the shoe. In the cutting equipment, if there is no qualified tool die matching, the qualified shoe can not be blanked out. In the inner bottom equipment, the shape and size of the inner bottom can not be consistent with the shape and size of the shoe last, if there is no qualified molding mold; in the outsole equipment, if there is no different vulcanization mould and mould pressure in the outsole equipment. Mold, injection mold, the shape of the shape of the shape of the shape can not be produced; in the bandage equipment, without a complete set of clamps, tighteners, scavengers and other fixtures and accessories, it is impossible to do on the same machine can be both the men's shoes and can be bandaged women's shoes, both can be taut round head shoes and can be taut top shoes of a variety of production; In adhesive bonding equipment, if the template and module on the press can not form a uniform, uniform enough adhesive force with the adhesive surface of the sole and the shoemaking foot, the adhesive strength of the adhesive shoes will not be guaranteed. There are many examples of the role of tooling in shoe machine and so on, which shows that the role of tooling in shoe machine is very important and unique. Tooling and machine, although the shape of small, simple structure, low price, but not to underestimate its important role. In the production of shoes, there is still a phenomenon of the emphasis on the shoe machine and the light industry. One side thinks that as long as there is a good shoe machine, it can be done, not at the expense of gold. If there is no changing tooling and shoe machine, it is impossible to do more shoes and make a good shoe. As long as the importance of attaching importance to the shoe machine is attached, less investment can be used, the production efficiency is greatly improved, the quality of the product is stable and reliable, and the economic benefit is greatly increased.
