Gistel – Belgium – May 2024 - In a move that promises to revolutionize textile production, Summa, a leading innovator in laser cutting technology, has announced a partnership with Caron Technology S.r.l. to offer the Caron cradle feeder as an option for their L Series Laser cutters. This collaboration marks a significant step towards more efficient, sustainable, and high-quality automatic cutting workflows in the industry.
The Caron cradle feeder is designed to streamline the loading and changing of media onto the Summa L1810 laser cutter, making the process effortless for operators. By lowering and tipping down towards the operator, the cradle allows for easier media loading without the need for a core holder. The feeder ensures even distribution of the media, preventing displacement and wrinkles, and is specifically engineered to accommodate stretchy materials such as sportswear.
"We are thrilled to partner with Caron Technology to bring this game-changing solution to our customers," said Summa. "The combination of the Caron cradle feeder and our L Series Laser cutters will undoubtedly set a new standard for efficiency and quality in textile production while promoting more sustainable practices by reducing media waste."
The Caron cradle feeder boasts several unique advantages, including tensionless feeding at higher levels, decreased pre-feed distance to minimize media waste, and the ability to handle rolls weighing up to 100 kg – far exceeding the capabilities of standard dereelers. With a roll diameter of 80 cm and a media width of 180 cm, the feeder is well-equipped to handle a wide range of textile production needs.
In addition to these distinctive features, the Caron cradle feeder also offers the standard benefits of automatic dereelers, such as edge detection and automatic fabric alignment for consistent media feed. These features enable the L1810 laser cutter to deliver even more precise results.
"We are excited to see the impact this partnership will have on the industry," added Caron Technology S.r.l. "By combining our expertise in material handling with Summa's cutting-edge laser technology, we are empowering businesses to optimize their production processes while prioritizing sustainability and quality."
The Caron cradle feeder is compatible with each L1810 generation 2 unit, ensuring seamless connectivity thanks to a new electronic board. The feeder will be available through Summa resellers, making it easily accessible to businesses looking to upgrade their textile production capabilities.
As the industry continues to evolve, Summa remains committed to driving innovation and providing solutions that not only improve efficiency but also contribute to more sustainable and ethical practices. The partnership with Caron Technology S.r.l. and the introduction of the Caron cradle feeder exemplify this dedication to transforming the future of textile production.
