Zünd At SIMAC – Pioneering Cutting Technology For Leather And Textiles

16 Aug

Milan, Italy – September 10, 2024 – At SIMAC in Milan from September 17th to 19th, Zünd will introduce groundbreaking solutions for digital leather and textile cutting.

Among the innovative technologies on display at Booth K9/K17 in Hall 18 are interactive nesting with mixed-reality glasses and the ultra-compact Zünd G3 cutter designed for leather processing, poised to set new standards for the Smart Factory of tomorrow.

Feature Recognition for Textile Applications

The Feature Recognition software function enhances textile cutting by detecting motifs and garment parts, positioning them on fabric with pinpoint accuracy.

This automation replaces cumbersome manual processes, allowing for rapid job preparation and cutting that meets the highest quality standards, particularly for luxury textiles.

Automated Roll Management with RHS6-50

Introducing the Roll Handling System (RHS6-50), a revolutionary solution for uninterrupted industrial-scale cutting.

Capable of holding up to six rolls of textiles weighing 50 kg each, the RHS6-50 enables extended production runs with minimal operator intervention.

Material loading and assignment are seamlessly managed by MindCUT software, ensuring continuous operation and efficiency.

Cutting-Edge Compact G3 Cutter for Leather Processing

Zünd’s G3 cutter, equipped with a back extension, boasts a 227 x 280 cm (89 x 110 in) working area, tailored to meet the exacting demands of the leather-processing industry.

This configuration offers extensive space for efficient nesting, cutting, and part removal operations all on a single cutter.

Its compact design ensures that even small cut parts can be easily managed, enhancing overall production efficacy.

The G3 cutter incorporates a front-to-back workflow divided into three sections for loading, cutting, and parts removal.

This layout allows for simultaneous hide placement, grading, and part removal while cutting is underway, thus eliminating downtime and markedly boosting productivity.

The cutting process is meticulously controlled via the Mind production software, supporting up to three tools.

Interactive Nesting with Augmented Reality

Zünd’s patented interactive nesting function, managed through Mind software, leverages the power of Augmented Reality glasses.

This technology enables a hybrid of manual and automated parts placement, with operators using a mouse to turn, arrange, and place parts on leather or fabric according to nesting criteria.

Live demonstrations on how mixed-reality technology can optimize the nesting process will be conducted at the booth, highlighting its superiority over conventional projection solutions, especially on treated, shiny surfaces.

Exclusive Partnership with Mindhive Global

Zünd proudly announces an exclusive partnership with Mindhive Global to advance automated leather grading technology.

This collaboration aims to revolutionize leather processing with unparalleled precision and speed, setting a new benchmark for finished leather grading.
