Why go dieless?

Any of the following conditions make dieless knife cutting the logical solution compared to traditional die cutting or cutting by hand:

• Eliminate cutting dies and related problems & costs
• Increase production flexibility
• Reduce time to market-design a component and produce it in seconds
• Rapid prototyping, samples & pre-production runs
• Short, medium runs & 1 off production is viable
• Material savings and reduced scrap rate
• Materials are very thick (eliminate 'hourglass' effect)
• Shapes are either simple or to complex for die cutting
• No cutting by hand or with templates
• CAD/CAM System used to design patterns

This dieless cutting table is the ideal solution for small and medium production runs for every company. With a Flashcut system, accurate dieless cutting is simple and inexpensive. Quality and life of the components along with the precise control, high speed cutting and punching speeds, user friendliness, low running costs and high degree of safety, make it the perfect solution for knife cutting applications.

The ATOM Flashcut Dieless Knife Cutting Tables are divided into three great families, accordingly with the kind of cutting surface & table structure:

ATOM Flatbed Knife Cutting Tables: Flatbed knife cutting tables are the ideal dieless solution for oversized (materials up to 6.1M x 2.6M), difficult to cut, synthetic materials.  The machine is accessible from all four sides & dual cutting heads can be mounted for increased productivity.  Standard models like the 15155 (1,550mm x 1,550mm) & 30155 (3,050mm x 1,550mm) are the perfect solution for gasket sheet production.

ATOM Inclined Knife Cutting Tables:  Inclined cutting surfaces are the ideal dieless solution for cutting small leather hides & sheeted material under 1 M in depth.  The model 1610 (1,600mm x 1,000mm) is the logical choice where space constraint is an issue or for prototyping & small production runs.  The inclined surface improves visibility and accessibility for the operator.

ATOM Conveyorized Knife Cutting Systems: Conveyorized cutting systems allow for a continuous cutting operation which maximizes production & throughput of cut parts.  The product (in roll or sheet form) is automatically fed into the cutting zone and once the components are cut, the conveyor feeds the finished product to the take-off table so the operator can remove the parts while the next cutting process continues.   Conveyorized systems are ideal for fabrics, technical textiles, composites, printed materials, thin foams and similar products.

The diversity of the ATOM Flashcut dieless cutting machines is the key factor to it's success. For any company producing cut parts - from concept through research and development, prototyping, multiple applications, to production quantities - the ATOM Flashcut CAD/CAM cutting system can quickly be developed to suit the customer, whatever the industry.

The reliability and ease of use of our products have made them the first choice for major users and we are proud of it's involvement in many industries, in particular the Formula 1 race teams, where accuracy, flexibility, profitability are the key performance indicators.
Many of our clients have found that the versatility of our system enables them to accept otherwise impossible orders. The ability to produce prototypes and samples rapidly, gain customer approval and then produce production quantities is a powerful tool in building customer relationships.For detailed information on the complete range of ATOM Flashcut oscillating knife cutting tables, please visit www.knife-cutting.com
