At the Airtec 2016 in Munich (October 25-27 2016), Zünd will be giving insights into its digital cutting technologies specially developed for processing composites, covering carbon, glass or natural fibre.

Zünd digital cutters are used for prototyping as well as serial production and offer workflow solutions for a range of manufacturing environments. Zünd Cutters are available in 17 different sizes, from 1330 x 1600mm to 3210 x 3200mm. Zünd cutters are modular by design. With their built-in flexibility, they can be configured to meet a wide range of cutting requirements.

The Zünd G3 is the digital cutting system especially tailored to the requirements of the composites industry. The modular cutting system is ideally suited for composites applications, tailored to meet the demands typical of the highly dynamic aerospace industry and is guaranteed to deliver exceptional productivity along with a quick and reliable ROI.

The G3 cutter is CE and UL certified. Powered by the user software Zünd Cut Centre with its open interface, G3 cutters can be quickly and easily integrated in any type of production environment. High-performance CAM software options support the user in maximising material yield through automatic nesting.

The Zünd tool palette ensures the appropriate tool is always at hand. For many composites applications, Zünd recommends the robust Power Rotary Tool – PRT, one of the company's flagship high-capacity tools that has proven that it can stand up to the rigorous demands of cutting carbon fibre or fiberglass.

The tool and cutting system are protected from statically charged and/or abrasive dust particles, and for cleanly cutting materials with a lower melting point, it is possible to reduce the RPM of the rotary blade. As an air-driven tool with a long cutting stroke, the Pneumatic Oscillating Tool (POT) is well suited for cutting honeycomb materials and rigid foams. The Zünd R62, a custom router bit, is recommended for routing cured parts cleanly and efficiently.
