Knife Cutting

We cut single or multiple layers with a CNC knife cutter. Our machines have very large cutting fields. The cutter is combined with an automatic laying machine thus achieving an endless length, so that cuts can be created in a time-optimized manner. The cutting is done under vacuum, this way we ensure that none of the layers slip away even when a lot has been cut already. A knife cutter has a very high cutting speed, so that we can achieve effective performance even with individual layers. Material cutting using a CNC-cutter is rather a pre-processing step rather than post-processing after shaping. This enables us to cut materials for production with very high accuracy. But also simple cuts or post-processing on flat fabrics is possible with this. CNC knife cutting is suitable for almost all technical textiles like woven, nonwoven, knitted fabrics and foams. We use our automatic laying machine for multi-layer cutting or continuous cutting.

Exciting Advantages of CNC-Knife Cutters

The cutter knives can be equipped with different coatings, blades are optionally equipped with serrated and sawtooth grinding and made of HSS or hard metal. These wide options allow the cutter to be precisely adjusted to the material in order to achieve optimal results. Through the adjustment, we achieve excellent cutting quality even with incisions, difficult contours and harder materials like non-woven panels.

  • Cutting Patterns Are The Core of Knife Cutting

    Cutting patterns are crucial for textile cutting machines as they enable the precise and efficient processing of fabrics. They serve as a digital template that informs the machine which areas of the material should be cut. A well-optimized cutting pattern ensures that the machines work with high accuracy and minimizes material waste. It also enables faster production and higher quality end products, as errors and inaccuracies are avoided. Cutting patterns therefore not only help to increase efficiency, but also to reduce production costs.

  • We Continuously Optimize Fabric Cuts

    Efficient fabric cutting planning is crucial for optimizing production. Precise cutting can reduce material waste and costs, resulting in better use of resources. In addition, well thought-out cutting helps to increase production speed and minimize the amount of work involved. Minimizing waste not only reduces material consumption, but also reduces the environmental impact. This is why we continuously optimize and review our cuts.

Precise Coordination and Programming

Every project and every material is individual and we also map this process with us. To do this, we combine CAM-controlled programming with test trials in order to find the optimal processing.

  • CAM-Programming

    We program in 2D and 3D depending on the geometry of the part to be manufactured.

  • Prototype Tests

    After the first programming, we create prototypes to identify problem areas that modeling on the computer does not show. We only go into production with an error-free program.

  • Cutting in Series

    With the knowledge from the first two steps, we then create the final program and save it permanently to ensure repetition security - this ensures repeatability for future runs.
