ConVeyor CuTTing sysTem taking continuous cutting to new heights The eagle™ conveyor system boasts supreme capabilities for single- to low-ply cutting requirements. It has the ability to continuously convey rolled material goods with consistent speed and control. Eastman’s gantry and tool-head design are engineered to cut the most diverse technical and industrial fabrics available, while exceeding industry standards for accuracy. The robust conveyor design delivers unrivaled levels of material utilization and is often capable of cutting multiple layers without plastic overlay*. This computer-controlled cutting system requires minimal operator guidance to automatically feed and spread material to the identified start position. Smooth and accurate cutting of long markers is accomplished with the support of a powerful, yet quiet and self-contained vacuum system. With basic training from skilled Eastman technicians, your operator will learn how to adjust tool settings, cutting pressures and blade exposures to maximize your investment. Frequently processed application settings can be conveniently stored within the operating control system library to minimize any operator downtime and eliminate the loss of important production information. *Material dependent design & effiCienCy TeChnology Self-contained high-flow vacuum system offers optimum material hold-down for cutting, using less floor space than models with external blower systems Touch-screen display and joystick are conveniently located on the cutting gantry for simplified operator use Durable, high-durometer cast urethane conveyor belt has a fabric backing proven reliable for 2,000+ hours of normal operation, with some customers testifying to more than four years of continuous use Standard variable-frequency drive eliminates the motor starter; you can control the vacuum and minimize noise levels Reduces material handling by continuously feeding material as needed 04 a u T o m aT e d sysTems Exclusive InMotion™ software enables the conveyor to continuously move while the gantry is cutting, offering tremendous efficiency for pattern pieces exceeding the table length (patent pending) Networked machines can be accessed by Eastman technicians off-site in real-time for immediate troubleshooting and support Real-time diagnostics monitor all wires and signals, as well as motors Software algorithms identify components in need of maintenance or replacement All motion control axes utilize precision rack and pinion drives
