Oscillating Knife Cutting

Footwear Garments Sport Gear Furniture Packaging Leather goods Gaskets Leather/hides Asbestos Free Tanged Graphite Textiles Teflon Hi-Tech Rubber/Expanded Non-woven Flashcut is a complete line-up of oscillating-knife cutting tables, available in several models with either flat or inclined cutting surface and sizes up to 610 x 260 cm (able to host 2 full bovine hides at the same time) . Our tables are the result of our 60 years long experience in the cutting, experience we collected by following our customers and paying extreme attention to their feedbacks and actual cutting needs. The possibility to use digital cameras for material contour recognition, projectors for interactive nesting and assisted parts collection and the extremely powerful (but simple to use) control software and the cutting edge automatic and interactive nesting software are among the most important Flashcut point of strength, making it suitable for cutting in several industries an incredible variety of materials. The traditional reliability of Atom's mechanical components, together with the powerful and flexible production control software make Flashcut an extremely efficient, versatile and powerful cutting system suitable for: footwear, leathergood, garments, sport gear; car upholstery and internal parts; gaskets and packaging; cardboard; and much more. All this with a single cutting system. Main FlashCut advantages: Using Atom Flashcut high quality dieless cutting is simpler and cheaper than ever! High cutting and punching speed, ease of use and low operating costs are just some of the reasons for which Atom oscillating-knife cutting solutions are the perfect choice for cutting small and medium production runs in an increasing number of companies Using Flashcut you can: Increase production flexibility; Reduce the time-to-market; Get rid of dies and related problems and costs; Reduce production costs even when cutting small batches. Flashcut cutting tables main features: Two independent work areas: While the machine is cutting on an area the operator can collect cut parts, deploy the next material and prepare the next layout on the other one. It is possible to equip the machine with a double projection system to perform nesting even on huge materials occupying the whole cutting table; Precise cutting and parts ready for the next production stage: Often parts cut with other technologies require some further refinement before being used. A typical example are parts used for footwear soles: often must be milled to achieve the required precision. Using Atom knife cutting tables instead you always have sharp cuts and can be immediately assembled on the finished product. High brightness projector: It grants clear visualisation of parts and commands on all materials. All operation become faster and more accurate. Projectors are optional components. Quick configuration switching: Switching between completely different materials has never been easier. With any FlashCut model 3 minutes are enough to switch from cutting the softer and thin material to the hardest and thicker. Smart vacuum system: FlashCut cutting surface is dividend into different sectors, which can be independently activated. The operator can either use the mouse to manually set activation status for each of them or let the machine automatically activate just those sectors where the cutting is performed. Concentrating the vacuum power just where it is strictly needed it is possible to increase cutting speed without sacrificing the precision. Doing so it is possible to cut a wider range of materials and power consumption is optimised. Powerful and versatile cutting head: The multiple tool cutting head allows sophisticated jobs, including engravings, which require perfect control on the cutting depth. The powerful blade and head mechanism allows the cutting of very hard materials, such as tanged graphite, leather and fiber cardboard. All our cutting tables can be equipped with the same cutting head to grant the maximum performances on any situation. Solid framework and high planarity: The machine framework is extremely solid and strong, as Atom philosophy dictates. The extreme manufacturing precision of the cutting plan ensures a perfect parallelism between the material and the cutting head, granting an homogeneous cutting precision on the whole surface. Operating safety: Our knife cutting tables are equipped with state-of-art safety equipment which meet and exceed the requirements of European Union safety rules. Advanced yet simple to use control software: The cutting tables are powered by advanced and reliable control software which allow to manage any operation using simple menu designed to operate quickly and simplify operators' training. The power of the software can partially substitute operator's skill: just hides quality marking and complex manual nesting require experienced operators, for any other operation a few hours training is enough. Automatic or interactive nesting: FlashCut cutting systems use a very powerful and versatile automatic nesting system. Its main features are: Assists the operator in handling orders quantities and in respecting production constraints; Ability to define layouts manually quickly; Automatic material contour recognition (models with digital camera only) and manual contour definition; Automatic nesting, with defects, quality area and production constraints advanced management; Mixed nesting: the operator is allowed to place manually some parts then start the automatic nesting to complete the layout. High operating efficiency with interactive nesting, highly optimised layouts with outstanding yields thanks to the sophisticated nesting algorithms. Two great Flashcut families FlashCut machines are grouped in two great families, accordingly with the kind of cutting surface: Flat table cutting systems. Inclined table cutting systems. Flat cutting surface machines allow to: Work on the 4 sides of the table; Cut materials up to 6,1 x 2,6 meters (equivalent to two full bovine hides); Double productivity using two cutting heads; Their features make them an invaluable tool to cut big or hard materials, often used together with a fully automated nesting. Inclined cutting machines allow to: Have a better accessibility to the material; Perform all the operations from the front side of the machine; Work very efficiently with materials up to 3 x 1 metres; Their size and the easier use of interactive nesting make them a perfect solution for footwear and leathergoods cutting. Atom means not only cutting machines but first level customer services as well. With Atom FlashCut you can rely on a team of technicians and cutting experts ready to help in facing any professional challenge. Moreover from now it is possible to buy spare parts of some machines from Atom web site  to ensure a faster and simpler service. Flat Surface Inclined Surface
