Multi-Ply Cutting System Quick-connect, modular design for productivity Eastman RaptorTM models have been uniquely crafted in the USA to automatically pull stacked material plies from the spreading table to a modular, bristle-block conveyor bed for reciprocating knife cutting of patterns. Featuring precise system operations and driven by state-of-the-art motion control communications, the Raptor is an industrial-strength solution for low- to high-ply cutting of flexible material goods. Eastman’s exclusive IntellicutTM knife control software increases the accuracy and integrity of the cut from top to bottom ply. Eastman’s comprehensive range of equipment, from front-end preparation through the cutting phase, are an integral part of composite, technical textile and apparel factories around the world. The RaptorTM frame is made of heavy-gauge welded The Raptor’s operating control software is all-inclusive with your purchase. steel and is engineered to withstand challenging mass The intelligence behind advanced operations and algorithms will become production environments. Eastman’s exclusive tool an integral part of your daily operations. head design allows for a short and rigid reciprocating The software features proactive reporting blade which ensures less deflection when cutting on blade-wear and usage. It also has heavy-loads of stacked material goods — a recipe for user-controlled settings for knife control, accurately cut pattern pieces from top-to-bottom ply. vacuum power and blade sharpening.
