Knife cutting is one of the fastest and most precise methods for producing parts.
From prototypes to final products, no matter the shape or size of a design, knife cutting technology offers flawless production for a wide range of materials. This method can open up many manufacturing possibilities.
We’re excited to feature brand new technology to the CGR Fleet from ATOM. When it comes to innovative cutting, our advanced knife solutions improve both speed and quality at once.
The Future of Knife Cutting: Flashcut Flex HD
The Flashcut FLEX HD S Series, part of ATOM’s family of Dieless Knife Cutting Tables, delivers the ideal cutting surface for CGR’s range of flexible materials. In high-precision manufacturing, this technology stands out by allowing consistently flawless results. The table’s static working surface is supported by a powerful 11kW vacuum pump to hold material in place, eliminating potential errors from movement and the need for sacrificial sealing.
A multi-tool head on the Flashcut is able to total cut, score cut, and kiss cut with a single knife chuck, and rotating punches that can handle small diameter holes.
“Cutting” Costs, Increasing Yields
A robust structure, reliable performance, and high-level precision are bottom line in the Flashcut Flex’s operation. In addition, our approach ensures that every knife cutting project is both cost-effective and efficient. But that’s not all:
- Automatic nesting with integrated software helps nest shapes within shapes, producing better yield and reducing waste and cost for everyone.
- The reduction of dies and tooling offers a cost savings advantage. Part concavity is virtually eliminated as well.
- The Flashcut offers an advantage over waterjet as the dieless process does not have any issues with water/moisture contamination, and when comparing to alternative methods, the benefits are clear.
- Less hand cutting and fewer steps are needed for every part, proving knife-based cutting solutions streamline production.
