MindCUT

Cutting automation & control

THE RIGHT SOLUTION FOR TRANSPORTATION & UPHOLSTERY INDUSTRY

MindCUT is an integrated and modular set of solutions for optimization of production processes and automation of cutting systems, suitable Transportation and Upholstery industries.


MindCUT Automatic Cutting System for Transportation & Upholstery platform is based on a Zünd G3-2XL3200 cutting machine.

This platform comprises 3 independent and auto-conveyed works zones. The transport of leather hides between work zones is accomplished via an automatic moving system, based on a continuous conveyor.

The 3-stage configuration enables simultaneous, continuous and centrally orchestrated operations on each work zone:

1. Capture, Recognition and Automatic Nesting

The first work zone – an extension table of the cutting machine, equipped with a digital camera and a lighting system - is used for the leather hide deployment, marking, capture and recognition.

The automatic nesting is also performed on this work zone. Combined with the high resolution and accuracy of both the capture subsystem and conveyor movement, allows reducing to near-zero the margin between the parts, leather contour and quality regions - thus minimizing raw materials consumption.

2. Automatic Cut

When the leather hide is ready to be cut, it’s automatically moved to the second work zone - the machine’s cutting table.

The high precision of the automatic cut system allows parts to be immediately cutted at its final geometry, thus avoiding cut repetitions and material movements. A dynamic vacuum cell system fixes the leather hide for high reliability and cut quality.

3. Parts Picking

The picking is done on the third work zone – a final extension table of the cutting machine, equipped with a projector that highlights the parts to be picked.
