Main Tool Types Used in Flatbed Cutters
Universal Cutting Tool (UCT): A general-purpose drag knife ideal for materials that do not require oscillation. It supports various blade inserts.
Universal Drawing Tool (UDT): A pen holder used for plotting outlines, labeling parts, or marking fold and assembly lines.
Electric Oscillating Tool (EOT): A motor-driven knife that oscillates vertically to cut soft materials like cardboard, foam board, and corrugated sheets, preventing deformation caused by the UCT.
Pneumatic Oscillating Tool (POT): An air-driven oscillating tool with a longer stroke, designed for thicker or tougher materials where the EOT falls short of clean results.
Driven Rotary Tool (DRT): A motorized circular blade optimized for cutting textiles and flexible sheets, reducing pulling forces on delicate material.
V-Cut Tool (VCT): An angled knife specifically for creating V-grooves in foam board and similar rigid materials, enabling foldable 3D structures.
Creasing Wheel Tool (CWT): A wheel or disc tool used for scoring and creasing corrugated board and cartons, essential for packaging applications.
Router Module (RMA): A high-speed spindle fitted with router bits for processing rigid materials such as acrylic, wood, composites, and thicker plastics.
Common Processing Methods by Tool Function
Oscillating Knife Cutting: High-frequency vertical motion suited for thick or elastic materials like foam, rubber, textiles, and corrugated board.
Drag Knife Cutting: Efficient cutting of thin materials requiring low force, such as vinyl, paper, and thin plastics.
Kiss-Cutting: Cutting only the top layer of a material (e.g., stickers, labels, or films) while leaving the liner beneath intact.
Perforating: Dashed cuts enabling easy tear-off or folding for packaging purposes.
Creasing/Scoring: Creating fold lines in cardboard or corrugated materials without cutting through the surface.
V-Cutting: Precision-cut angled grooves that facilitate folding of rigid boards.
Routing/Engraving/Marking: Processes used to remove or alter material surfaces for applications like signage, panels, and logos.
Accessories and Consumable Spare Parts for Flatbed Cutting Systems
Flatbed digital cutting systems from brands such as Zund, Esko, Summa, iEcho, and Jwei rely on key components and consumables. These include:
- Knife Blades and Inserts: Tungsten-carbide and HSS blades compatible with UCT, oscillating tools, V-cut tools, and kiss-cut tools. Specialized profiles exist for foam, textiles, cardboard, plastics, and gasket materials.
- Tool-Head Components: Examples include blade holders, clamps, adapter clips, depth-adjustment collars, gliding shoes, and covers for rotary and oscillating tools. Motors and gears are key components of electric oscillating and rotary tools.
- Table and Transport Parts: Conveyor belts for specialized tables and cutting underlay felt pads or routing boards to protect surfaces during operations. Non-slip sealgrip sheets or vacuum masks provide improved material hold-down.
- Maintenance and Blade Sharpening Tools: Sharpening disks, grinding wheels, stones, and drums are available for blade upkeep. Calibration tools ensure accurate tool height settings and sensor alignment.
- Plotting/Marking Accessories: Pens and adapters are used with UDTs to plot or mark directly onto materials.
- Safety and Support Items: Self-healing cutting mats are suitable for precision work on thin sheets within non-conveyor areas.
