Product catalog summary
Introduction
Aeronaut Automation presents a versatile and flexible range of computer-controlled robotic plotter-cutters. These machines are designed with interchangeable Cam-lock tools, allowing for quick and precise tool changes, enhancing efficiency and accuracy in cutting operations.

Cam-lock Tool System
The Cam-lock tool system allows tools to be fitted with a simple quarter turn, ensuring secure positioning and precise blade angles. This system supports rapid tool changes, typically taking around 10 seconds, and facilitates mid-job tool swaps. The tools can be used for various applications, including drilling and punching, with the ability to handle multiple tools on a single shaft.

Tool Specifications
  • 28mm Ball Bearing Rotary Blade Holder: Ideal for general use with thin and thick fabrics, featuring a hardened steel blade axle and replaceable bearings.
  • 18mm Ball Bearing Rotary Blade Holder: Suitable for detailed work and small radius corners, also with a hardened steel axle and replaceable bearings.
  • 45mm Ball Bearing Rotary Blade Holder: Designed for large-scale work and thick materials like carpet, with a range of support discs available.
  • LC Drag Blade Holder: Used for detailed cuts in materials like cardboard and plastic, with an adjustable depth stop.
  • Mushroom Drag Blade Holder: Best for sticky materials such as rubber and PVC, featuring a Teflon insert for smooth operation.
  • Roller Creaser Holder: Used for scoring and creasing various materials, available in different profiles.
  • Drill Punch Holder: Suitable for solid ejectors, capable of cutting holes in various materials with replaceable punches.


Additional Tools and Features
Additional tools such as notch tools, chisel creasers, and other drag blade holders are available, with more tools in development, including powered tools. The Cam-lock wrench is used for securing and releasing tools, designed for ease of use.

Conclusion
Aeronaut's robotic plotter-cutters, equipped with the Cam-lock tool system, offer a robust solution for cutting a wide range of materials with precision and efficiency. The system's flexibility ensures that these machines can adapt to future needs, providing a secure investment for industrial applications.

Cam-lock tooling brochure-1

You would not think of buying a machine tool with fixed tools, so why should automated cutters be fitted with fixed tools? Because 99% of the components for Aeronaut machines are manufactured in-house on state of the art CNC machines, it is natural that we'd design this same versatility and flexibility into our automated In fact you'd think that it was so obvious that every manufacturer of automated cutters would do this... Cam-lock tools fit from below the cutting head with a simple quarter turn of the Cam-lock fastener. They are securely locked in position to give perfect indexing of height, and more importantly, the precisely correct blade angle, so you can fit any tool on any shaft and get 100% cut accuracy every time without thinking. Typically, tool changes take around 10 seconds. This means you can change tools mid-job and quickly remove tools from the machine to do blade changes. Another advantage of Cam-lock tools is that tools like drill punches can be secured onto the same shaft so even the simplest machines can punch holes with nothing else to buy other than the Cam-lock drill punch itself. And since all steered tool shafts are hollow, cutters with more than one steered axis can carry more than one drill punch each with a solid rod ejector. Solid rod ejectors push the punch wad out from the tool to give you reliable punch holes every time, even in the thick and resilient materials. And while most competitive machines only have the power to carry a small 6mm punch, Aeronaut's Elektron cutters fitted with Cam-lock drill punch tools can cut a full range of sizes up to 25mm. Aeronaut's Cam-lock tools are mounted on an industrial-strength 12 mm hardened steel shaft which is rigidly mounted on widely spaced bearings to give maximum accuracy, freedom from backlash and survive the roughest handling. With the wide range of Cam-lock tools currently available and more in development, you can be sure that your cutter will tackle the toughest textiles, now and into a secure future. 7?€TRirnnuT HurmnnTiirn ~ 4-6 TEPKO ROAD TERREY HILLS NSW 2084 AUSTRALIA
