Selecting the appropriate cutting tools and blades for your Zund cutting system is essential to achieve optimal performance and precision. Zund offers a modular system that allows for a wide range of tooling options, enabling customization based on specific materials and applications. Here's a guide to help you choose the right tools and blades:
**1. Understand the Modular Tooling System:**
Zund's cutting systems utilize modules that can be equipped with various tools, each designed for specific tasks:
- **Universal Module (UM):** Compatible with a variety of tools, including:
- **Universal Cutting Tool (UCT):** Ideal for materials up to 5 mm thick.
- **Electric Oscillating Tool (EOT):** Suitable for soft to medium-density materials.
- **Kiss-Cut Tool (KCT):** Designed for precise kiss-cutting of vinyl and film without damaging the liner material.
- **V-Cut Tool (VCT):** Used for creating V-cuts in materials like corrugated cardboard and foam boards at various angles.
- **Router Modules (RM):** For routing, polishing, and engraving tasks:
- **RM-L:** Features a powerful 3.6 kW spindle for high-precision routing of materials like aluminum, wood, plastics, and composites.
- **RM-A:** Equipped with a 1 kW spindle suitable for various routing applications.
- **RM-S:** An air-cooled module with a 1 kW spindle, ideal for lighter routing tasks.
- **Punching Modules:**
- **Notching Marking Module (NMM):** Combines punching, notching, and marking tools.
- **Punching Pricking Module (PPM-S):** Suitable for punching and piercing leather, rubber, and textiles.
**2. Identify the Material and Application:**
The choice of tool and blade depends on the material you're processing and the desired outcome:
- **Drag Blades:** Used in non-powered tools like UCT and KCT, suitable for cutting foil, paper, thin folding cartons, banners, etc.
- **Oscillating Blades:** Used in EOT and POT tools, ideal for cutting thick and tough materials.
- **Rotary Blades:** Used in DRT and PRT tools, suitable for cutting breathable materials such as textiles, carbon fiber, glass fiber, etc.
**3. Consult Blade Compatibility:**
Ensure that the blade you select is compatible with the chosen tool and suitable for the material:
- **Round-Stock Blades:** Compatible with tools like C2, C2P, KCT, KCM-S. Examples include Z1, Z2, Z3, Z4, Z5, Z7.
- **Flat-Stock Blades:** Compatible with tools like UCT, SCT, insert sleeve 40. Examples include Z6, Z10, Z11, Z44, Z46, Z101, Z102, Z103, Z83.
- **V-Cut Blades:** Used with the VCT tool for creating angled cuts. Examples include Z70, Z71, Z701, Z73.
- **Mat-Cutting Blades:** Used with PPT tools for cutting materials like mats. Examples include Z30, Z33, Z34, Z35.
