Other applications include :

  • Cutting of ejection rubber for steel rule dies

  • Varnishing blankets

  • Plotting on die boards

  • Routing or cutting of counter matrixes for samples. 

  • Foam Cutting

FOAM CUTTING: Cutting of foam has become increasingly important in the packaging industry.  Responding to this demand, ZÜND has developed machine and tool options capable of cutting foam and other soft materials up to a thickness of 50mm or approx. 2”.  Because of the modularity of all ZÜND systems and components, machines equipped with this option can also handle samplemaking and other cutting tasks

EJECTION RUBBER :  Bevel cut with oscillating tool for cutting of ejection rubber for dieboards.  Bevel cut with angle from 0-15 degrees, less production steps,  immediate processing, no drying, produces a good fit and repeatability.

AKI-2
AKI-2 ( Automatic Knife Initialization) combined with the Zünd TOOL MANAGER make operating Zünd cutters easier than ever.

The tool setup process now requires only three simple steps:
1: Insert tool
2: Position AKI-2
3: Start initialization

AKI-2 can be used for any tool (1-9), and makes tool setup automatic, fast and reliable, at the same time eliminating potential for errors inherent in manual tool setup.


As tool are initialized, TOOL MANAGER automatically saves the parameters for each one. These parameters can then be recalled from the keyboard whenever needed. TOOL MANAGER makes managing the complete range of Zünd tools very quick and easy, thereby significant enhancing productivity. This is particularly true in applications that require a lot of different types of cutting and frequent tool changes.

User benefits
 

  • Extremely user-friendly operation
  • Speedy tool initialization
  • Automatic tool assignment
  • Exact and reliable blade-depth positioning
  • Enhanced productivity
  • Longer-lasting consumables (reduced wear)
  • Minimized potential for errors
