Range of applications

• Die-Less knife cutting for a wide range of materials. The reciprocating knife can cut materials that vary greatly in thickness and in stiffness. This machine can cut very intricate shapes. Machine operation is seperated into three seperate areas: Cut piece nesting, cutting, and cut piece removal.

Advantages

• Eliminates Tooling Costs - Knife cutting technology means you never have to buy dies again. Patterns can be loaded directly from CAD programs, so production can begin immediately.
• Dual Cutting Heads - Two cutting heads work in unison to share the cutting load for maximum operation optimization. Tool change is viable thanks to complete rotation of the cutting heads. The cutting heads feature an oscillating knife, marking pen, four cutting-dies and a punch revolver located in a convenient and visible frontal position.
• Cutting Surface Vacuum - The material is held in place by a vacuum to ensure cutting accuracy.
• Continuous Real-Time Interactive Nesting or Pre-Nested Cutting - Without pause or change of workplace, the operator can maintain full focus and concentration on nesting cut parts on the material carried by the conveyor belt. For synthetic materials, in one or more layers, the automatic nesting function can perform fast piece positioning. Therefore, the cutting heads are well exploited and the operator, freed from nesting operations, can fully focus on the collection of the cut pieces.
• Laser Projection on Work Area - A laser beam projects bright and ergonomic piece shapes on the operator's work area in order to show cut part's position and orientation. The laser projection is sharp on almost any type or color of material. With the coordination of the conveyor belt, materials as wide as 1.5 meters (~60 inches) and unlimited length can be fed, positioned and cut in sequence under full control of the operator.
• Independent Removal - The rear table collects large amounts of cut parts enabling the removal of cut parts without constant attention.
• Link To CAD - The direct transfer of patterns from CALIGOLA or other CAD systems (in DXF or HPGL exchange format) allows the user to start production immediately, communicating by means of any data support, local area network (LAN), or internet.
