Zund UK to showcase latest innovations in digital cutting at Advanced Engineering 2024

Visitors to the Zünd booth will have the opportunity to see live product demonstrations of how Zünd’s cutting-edge solutions can transform workflows, reduce manual intervention and improve overall production efficiency. Highlights of the technology on display include:

Zünd will demonstrate how their digital cutting systems are revolutionising composite material processing. Visitors will discover how Zünd’s cutting systems streamline operations, making it easier to handle the complex needs of the aerospace, motorsport, renewable energy, and other industries.

• Hole Removal Module – One of the most anticipated products at the show, Zünd’s Hole Removal Module is designed to efficiently remove cut waste, including prepreg multilayer materials. With a unique needle application, this tool automatically lifts and extracts waste material without operator intervention. This not only keeps the cutting bed clean but also prevents material cross-contamination when processing different materials on the same machine.
• Robot PortaTable130 – Zünd will also showcase the Robot PortaTable130, a collaborative robotic solution that automates the removal of cut materials. Working alongside the operator, this co-bot handles tasks like loading, unloading, picking, and sorting—freeing the operator from repetitive, non-value-adding work. The result? A significant reduction in production costs and an increase in overall efficiency.
• Leibinger (Part Traceability Solution) - Traceability is a critical factor in the composite industry, particularly for large-scale projects. Zünd’s versatile part marking solution using Leibinger will be on display. The contactless part marking system is specifically designed for composite applications and will be demonstrated live, showcasing how it can be seamlessly integrated into workflows to ensure traceability on a variety of composite materials.

With over 35 years of experience, Zünd is renowned for its leadership in multifunctional digital cutting systems. The company's solutions are trusted by OEM manufacturers across a range of industries, including aerospace, defence, motorsport, marine, and renewable energy.
