ATOM FlashCut
Flex 2H Series
The ATOM FlashCut High Production Knife Cutting Systems, FLEX 2H Series, is a new dieless cutting technology combining flexibility and output.
ATOM knife cutting tables have a reputation as one of the fastest machines on today’s market. However, we realize the market is always looking for a more versatile & productive system. Therefore, we designed a cutting system with two independent multi-tool cutting heads available as a static bed for sheets or equipped with a transport cutting belt for processing materials in rolls.
The FLEX 2H Series boasts the same features & improvements in technology as the traditional FLEX Series. The solid steel rack and pinion system in place of a cogged belt increase the precision and operating speeds of the machine while the two pre-charged linear guide rails and enlarged beam adds to the robustness of the system. The new cutting surface with a higher degree of planarity coupled with the unique ‘smart’ partitioned zoned vacuum system add even more suction power improving cut quality and overall accuracy. With the option to add an overhead camera system for material contour recognition, projectors to visualize the cutting layout for assisted parts collection, the modular multi-tool cutting heads and the powerful yet simple to use production control software make the FlashCut “FLEX 2H” an efficient, versatile, powerful & highly productive CNC digital cutting system.
Engineered and designed to cut the hardest materials used in the petro-chemical, automotive, aerospace, composites & technical textiles, & packaging industries like compressed non asbestos, 1-2 layer steel inserted graphite, dense rubber, cross linked polyethylene foam, Kevlar, plastics, and many more. Since ATOM develops its technology in close collaboration with its clients, today it is able to offer the most advanced and most applicable cutting solution on the market – the new FlashCut ‘FLEX 2H’.

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.
