Raptor Multi-Ply Cutting System

The Raptor models offer a leading solution for low- to high-ply cutting of flexible materials. They automatically pull stacked material plies for reciprocating knife cutting. The Intellicut™ knife control software enhances cut accuracy and integrity. High-strength take-off fingers transition cut material stacks smoothly.

Additional Solutions
  • Lateral drive for moving the system between tables.
  • Automatic bristle cleaner.
  • Motorized resealer for maximum hold down features.
Bristle-Block Conveyor Bed
  • Durable bristle blocks make up the cutting area, allowing precision cutting with minimal damage.
  • Bristle blocks are easy to replace and designed for maximum life.
  • Base can be adjusted for different bristle sizes.
Tool Head
  • Reciprocating knife technology provides precise vertical stroke cutting.
  • Capable of cutting up to 3 inches of compressed material.
  • Low pressure sharpening unit with adjustable angle.
  • Optional high-speed pneumatic drill and vacuum for debris.
  • Encapsulated air chiller for blade cooling.
  • Easy access for maintenance.

r a P t O r M u lt I - P ly C u t t I N g s y s t e M YOUR TOP-TO-BOTTOM SOLUTION Raptor 75x toolhead shown with MPC system base. Base design subject to change without notice. Precise system operations, driven by state-of-the-art motion control communications combine to offer an industryleading solution for low- to high-ply cutting of exible material goods. Eastman’s raptor models have been uniquely crafted to automatically pull stacked material plies from the spreading table to a modular, bristle-block conveyor bed for reciprocating knife cutting of patterns. Eastman’s exclusive Intellicut™ knife control software increases the accuracy and integrity of the cut from top to bottom ply. High-strength “take-off ngers” smoothly transition the cut material stacks to a take-off conveyor dedicated to parts removal and bundling. The raptor models are engineered to perform without failure for accurate and repeated cutting of a variety of materials.
