SL1625AF Aramid Fabric Kevlar Cutting Machine.

The Definitive Solution for Cutting Aramid & Kevlar: SL1625AF

Aramid fabrics like Kevlar are engineered for one purpose: to resist penetration and abrasion. Their exceptional tensile strength and toughness make them notoriously difficult to cut. Manual methods with scissors or conventional blades result in severe edge fraying, inaccurate patterns, rapid tool wear, and a slow, labor-intensive process. For manufacturers in the ballistic, defense, and protective apparel industries, this is not just an inefficiency—it's a critical failure in quality and safety.

The SL1625AF Automated Cutting Machine is the engineered answer. Developed through our experience with high-strength composites, it is specifically designed to master the challenge of cutting aramid. It combines a specialized cutting tool, a robust automated platform, and intelligent software to deliver perfect, repeatable results, transforming your production workflow.

Core Advantages: Expertise Engineered for Extreme Materials

The SL1625AF is built to solve the unique problems that aramid fabrics present.

1. The Specialized Serrated Blade: Conquer the Toughest Fibers

This is the heart of the solution. Standard smooth blades push and pull aramid fibers, causing them to bunch and fray. The SL1625AF employs a specialized toothed/serrated blade. This tool uses a micro-sawing action to cleanly sever each individual, high-strength fiber, delivering a perfectly clean, fray-free edge. This is essential for ensuring the integrity of ballistic layups and the quality of sewn protective gear.

2. Automated Workflow for Maximum Efficiency and Material Yield

The auto-feeding conveyor system works in unison with our intelligent nesting software to create a powerful, automated production cell. The system automatically advances material from the roll for continuous cutting, while the software optimizes the layout of your patterns to drastically reduce waste of this high-cost material. This combination maximizes throughput and delivers a rapid return on investment.

3. Uncompromising Precision for Mission-Critical Applications

In ballistic protection and aerospace, precision is a matter of safety. The SL1625AF is built on a heavy-duty frame and driven by high-precision Japanese servo motors, achieving a repeatable cutting tolerance of ±0.1mm. A powerful vacuum system holds the slippery fabric securely in place, preventing any movement during cutting. This guarantees that every ply in a multi-layer kit is perfectly identical, ensuring proper fit and performance in the final product.
