This video demonstrates the complete workflow for the automated cutting of advanced composite materials. From sticky pre-impregnated fabrics to dry fiberglass, this machine provides the accuracy, speed, and process control required for high-performance applications in aerospace, automotive, and sporting goods.
As shown in the video, the machine's strength lies in its ability to deploy the right tool for the job, ensuring a perfect cut every time.
Oscillating Knife Tool (See at 0:01):Engineered for the precise cutting of prepregs. The high-frequency oscillation allows the blade to cleanly slice through tacky resin-impregnated materials like Twill and Unidirectional (UD) carbon fiber without pulling fibers or distorting the material.
Round Knife Tool (See at 2:27):Ideal for high-speed cutting of dry fabrics. This tool is demonstrated on fiberglass fabric, where it can rapidly and efficiently cut multiple layers, maximizing throughput for reinforcement materials.
Marking Pen (See at 1:24):A critical tool for ensuring quality control and simplifying complex assemblies. The pen is used to write part numbers, alignment marks, or ply orientation data directly onto the surface of the cut pieces. This is essential for accurate lay-up and part traceability.
By combining these tools in one automated system, you can eliminate manual cutting errors, maximize material yield through nesting, and create a fully traceable, highly efficient production line.
