ATOM Flashcut
Inclined Surface Knife Cutting Systems

Dieless cutting means faster production, cost savings, more flexibility, improved use of automatic nesting & reduce time to market. An ATOM knife cutter is the perfect tool to manage cutting both for your own production & for sub-contracting companies. The rapid cutting & punching speed allowed by their patented technology, the world renowned reliability of an ATOM machine, the 1st level pre & post sale service support, advanced nesting software ensure the customer that our machines will be more & more competitive & match the most demanding requests from todays market.

Optimized for materials commonly cut in the footwear & leather good manufacturers or small general converters of gaskets, foams, rubber etc..
It is possible to cut material larger than the actual usable cutting surface in different stages.
Highly versatile to suit several different production needs.
Powerful nesting & interactive nesting software. The software is optimized to handle shapes, the orders & the constraints commonly found in the converting related industries.
Possibility to "split" the machine in half in order to maximize both machine & operator time. While the machine is cutting in one area, the operator can collect cut pars, deploy a material and prepare a layout in the other area.
The cutting head can be configured with the following tooling; micro-metric drag knife, electric oscillating knife, pneumatic oscillating knife, pneumatic routing tool, two punches, plotting pen, and it is also possible to perform extremely precise engravings.
Some models allow the use of an automatic feeder, suitable for material in rolls.
The best visibility for material while using interactive nesting.
All of the operations can be performed from the front of the machine, thus limiting operator fatigue.

Automatic, Interactive or Mixed Nesting

The operator can leverage his/her experience in evaluating material & shapes to be cut and decide if using interactive nesting, automatic nesting, or place some parts manually and let the software fill the materia automatically. It is also possible to set different constraints on different shape groups, limit the available rotation for example. Furthermore, it is possible to mark quality areas & defects on the material so that the automatic nesting can properly place shapes respecting quality constraints; each shape can be divided into different quality areas.

When equipped with the pneumatic (PNEU) oscillating tool head, we can cut very difficult materials producing excellent finished components @ the following speeds:

Grafoil (Two Layers of Metal/Tang) 4-5 Mts./Min. (13´--16.5´ per Minute)

Asbestos Free (Garlock, Klinger or Similar 4-5 mm thick) 4-5 Mts./Min. (13´-16.5´ per minute in one pass)

Foam 10-20 Mts.Min (33´--65´)
