Cutting and Marking
Commonly regarded as the most important manufacturing process, cutting and/or marking is where the product gets its desired dimensions. ASCO cutting and marking equipment ensures these processes are achieved at any level of quality and automation desired by the customer.
Depending on the type of fabric and application it is used for, ASCO has several standard cutting techniques available:
- Rotating knife; a low-cost cutting solution suitable for most materials
- Ultrasonic cutting; for a sealed edge without fraying
- Crush cutting system; primarily for cutting glass-fiber based materials, but widely applicable
In addition, ASCO can integrate other, less standard cutting solutions, such as heated knife cutting, razor blade cutting, laser cutting and scissor cutting. At ASCO we also testing facilities to do cutting tests and give you the best advice on how to cut your materials.
VX Cutting table
The VX Table has a net working area of 350 x 500 cm or 350 x 700 cm and is equipped with a tangential controlled round blade cutter. The high performance technology guarantees a very high speed and positioning accuracy. The fabric is pulled to the table automatically from the cradle by the pneumatic controlled pulling system on the gantry. The gantry is equipped with the cutting head, a point laser and a fabric clamping system in cross direction.
After the fabric is pulled on the table, the length cuts will be carried out first while the fabric is still attached to the roll. When these cuts are finished, the machine continues with carrying out the cross cuts.
The standard software package enables the operator to program the size and number of panels or samples with help of a high resolution 12” TFT touch screen. Optionally the cutter can be equipped with an advanced software package for nesting and remnant management and order import by barcode or PC.
Used in: Roller Blinds, Panel tracks, Screens, Sample books and Technical fabrics.
Key features:
- Cutting dimensions 350 x 500 cm and 350 x 700 cm (different dimensions on request)
