Zünd cutting systems are focused on the automated and digital cutting of a wide variety of composite materials, targeting many industrial sectors, including the aeronautical industry.
In the aeronautical industry, almost everything revolves around weight reduction. As a result, more and more parts are being made of carbon and glass fiber. The great advantage is their high rigidity and toughness, as well as their wear resistance.
The challenge is finding the right balance between weight, stability, and cost, so lightweight, high-strength materials have become indispensable in the production of airplanes, helicopters, drones, and other aircraft.
Zünd offers a modular, flexible, and cost-effective machine concept with an extensive range of tools and accessories that enable cutting materials such as carbon, glass, or aramid fiber, prepreg, honeycomb, and others extremely reliably, quickly, and productively.
Continuous optimization of productivity with expensive materials such as composites, efficiency, and material utilization are always a concern. And one of the strongest features of Zünd cutting systems is its powerful ZCC (Zünd Cut Center) software and the PrepCenter workflow.
Zünd Cut Center
Among the software’s most important features is nesting. The highly efficient nesting of the ZCC software plays an important role here, with different possibilities such as static or dynamic nesting, i.e., by piece, batch, or order, which further increases raw material optimization.
In addition, the software offers other possibilities:
Material edge reader, barcode or QR code reader.
Vector optimization.
Database of materials and their cutting parameters.
Production simulator with time calculation.
PrepCenter
Prepress workflow: PrepCenter is the ideal tool for the simultaneous preparation of printing and cutting files for easy production.
In a simple and intuitive way, the software imports the files to be used, detects the designed layers and vectors, panels large images if required, automatically creates nesting with the actual shape, incorporates registration marks, QR codes, or barcodes, and prepares the file for sending to the RIP or cutting machine.
Extremely fast, stable, and precise, it is available for Windows, Mac, and Linux environments.
