A Swiss Army knife cutting table at the Fogepack All4Pack stand

The G3, Zünd's digital cutter, can be configured to almost any extent through combinations of tools and modules.

The distributor Fogepack Systèmes presented at the All4Pack exhibition in Villepinte at the end of November, a Zünd digital cutting table of the G3 range, which is based, like the cutter systems of the Swiss brand, on a modular concept.

Different formats, tools, materials

The G3 can be configured according to the needs defined by the user. First of all, 11 different formats (widths and lengths) of cutting tables are available.

A universal support module allows a wide range of tools for cutting, die-cutting, punching, creasing, milling, engraving, marking, Braille drawing and stamping to be installed in a few steps.

A large number of materials, such as light foam, soft or thick leather, felt, corrugated cardboard, laminated cardboard, 1 layer, 2 layers, rubber, technical textiles, carbon and glass fiber fabrics, magnetic, decorative, self-adhesive, reflective films or polypropylene, can be processed up to a thickness of 110 mm. These materials are secured to the table by a precise suction pump.

Several automation options available

The Board Handling System (BHS) ensures 24-hour production with a fully automatic feeding and picking system. The only intervention is the loading and unloading of the pallets located on both sides of the cutting table.

The Tandem process allows semi-automatic production. The loading and unloading of the material takes place in parallel with the production. While the cutting table is fed on one side, the machine works on the other. Then the machine switches to the other side allowing the user to remove the processed material and replace it and so on.

A fixed winder can also be installed to handle roll material such as textiles up to 100 kg. A mechanical system ensures constant tension without wrinkles or deformation during production. The handling of the rolls is fully automated.
