ATOM FlashCut

Fashion ALL IN ONE

The Flashcut FASHION 26B & 31B is an “All-In-One” models combine processes of acquisition, automatic nesting, and cutting in a single machine.

Operating in a continuous workflow, they reduce cycle time and allow a single operator to execute all the production steps. The FASHION models are equipped with two independent cutting heads to ensure the highest productivity and either a 2600mm or 3100mm wide conveyor belt for processing any size leather hides for footwear, leather goods, furniture and automotive upholstery industries.

The wide working areas available, with sequential in-line acquisition, automatic nesting, cutting and conveyorized transport cutting belt allow to process and cut from the largest hides to smallest ones acquired simultaneously along the entire width of the machine. The flat working surface, and the perfect parallelism with the knife, supported by a rigid structure, offer homogeneous cutting accuracy and longer life to the transport conveyor belt.

Sequential steps acquisition system allows hides larger than the cutting area to be acquired, but above all, processing hides step-by-step, eases hides inspection, by approaching the area to be inspected by the operator. In addition, it optimizes the processing time, allowing to nest the shapes over the parts already examined. The optical pen allows the operator to easily mark defects and quality areas of the hides and to display them both on the screen & directly on the hide, each one with a particular color. Moreover, Flash Tracer operates as a mouse, able to launch nesting and cutting operations and to modify parameters directly on the working area.

Modular Heads

5-Tool Head

The 5-tool cutting head increases the overall versatility of the ATOM Flashcut and is one of the key factor of its success - the ability to total cut, score cut (partial depth cut) & kiss cut with one module, two auxiliary stations that can be equipped with rotating punches for precise small diameter holes, a creaser wheel or kiss cutting knife, a 4th station that includes a marking pen to apply part #’s and trademarks and a 5th non-rotating punch station that is used on light-weight materials. With this versatile head, the Flashcut now becomes a multi-functional production system for a variety of market sectors.

7-Tool Head

The 7-Tool head offers the same combination as the 5-Tool head yet adds two additional rotating punching-drilling stations for increased flexibility. The pneumatically controlled belt-driven punch stations are primarily used for perforating leather, or for punching small diameter holes in gaskets & textile materials. Four independent punch tools on a single head allows for different hole sizes to be produced on the same job. To accommodate different applications, punches are available in sizes ranging from 0.5mm to 8mm & are made from tungsten carbide or high-speed steel (HSS).

Tooling Combinations

Side auxiliary tools can include rotating punches/drilling stations, kiss cut tool, creaser wheel for carton stock or thin plastics, or a 45° angle knife. Only available on the 5-Tool or 7-Tool modular head.

The Drag Knife Chuck (DKC) is ideal for total cutting rigid materials like thin compressed non-asbestos, laminates & plastics up to 6mm (1/4”) in thickness.

The Electric Oscillating Knife Chuck (EOK), is ideal for cutting softer, low-medium density materials like thin foams, soft rubber, pure graphite, leather, laminates, adhesives and similar products.

The pneumatic milling chuck, or PMC, was designed for companies that want the flexibility for light-duty milling applications for rigid materials, primarily plastics (ABS, UHMW, PP, PE etc..), that are not capable of being cut with the traditional pneumatic oscillating knife chuck.​

The Pneumatic Oscillating Chuck (POC), is an air driven tool engineered for cutting the most difficult materials but is also used for cutting thick, soft substrates as well.​

The Powered Rotary Chuck (PRC), is designed for cutting difficult fibrous materials, both uni-lateral & bi-lateral weaves, at a high rate of speed. The PRC is suitable for processing carbon fibers, Kevlar, fiber-glass, aramid and technical textiles & composites in general.​

The Ultrasonic Knife Chuck is ideal for high durometer rubbers and some plastics at high speeds in a single pass.
