Follow on Google News | New High Speed Automated Router Streamlines Production for Leading Aircraft Interior SpecialistMGR Foamtex, manufacturer of Softwall® aircraft seat decorative panels, has just installed a new high speed CNC router/cutter as part of their ongoing product development programme.
The Mastercut Versa-Tech machine, supplied by British manufacturer Blackman and White, has a 2.5 KW water cooled router which is capable of running at 60,000 rpm for prolonged periods. This ensures a very clean cut without causing material break up. This together with the high degree of accuracy means the new router produces a high quality product, but it can now also machine complex surface patterns. This is especially important in providing contours and recesses in the panels to ensure that they fit the seat structure exactly and the finished seats not only look good but also ensure the highest comfort levels. The Versa-Tech has a multi-tool head so the same machine can incorporate a knife for accurate cutting of fabrics as well as a router for foam materials, which means a smaller shop floor footprint and eliminates the need for having a separate machine for each function. The router/cutter comes with intuitive tailored software which has an added bonus as it can automatically nest patterns which not only saves set-up time, but ensures optimum material utilisation and reduces material wastage. Jackson said that “as the Versa-Tech can also be used as a CNC high speed cutter MGRFoamtex plan to incorporate this machine in the manufacture of seat covers as well as Softwall® which will dramatically speed up the whole production process.” Ends Editor’s Notes High resolution image available on request More about Blackman & White Blackman and White (blackmanandwhite.com) With over 45 years’ successful business in the design and manufacture of cutting machines under its belt, Blackman and White is uniquely placed to offer world-wide service and expertise.
