Leather, Upholstery and Furniture

Aeronaut's automated cutting systems are perfect for small to medium size upholstery businesses working on everything from custom furniture to short run and just-in-time work where a single or low-ply cutter will do the job faster and more economically than a high ply machine. Cutting systems can be configured to suit roll materials or if leather is involved, a machine which can cut both hides and roll fabric.

Aeronaut's SiliconEye machine vision system was originally developed as a low-cost method of digitising leather hides for work on aftermarket car seating. SiliconEye has evolved into a cutting edge tool for upholstery production including tracing and digitising traditional patterns, interactive nesting and matching cut profiles to patterned fabric on the cutting table.

Aeronaut's entry level Elektron Mono LC or Ikon cutters are high performance, well-priced automated cutters which can be fitted with all the tools and accessories for technical upholstery work on a budget. The Ikon cutter is intended for DIY installation at no more than the cost of far less capable entry level cutters.

The Mikron 2 cutter is a fast, economical and very versatile cutter which is made in a range of sizes which suit upholstery work from roll materials and half hides. The Mikron 2 comes as standard with a Cyclops machine vision camera for aligning patterns and digitising and can be fitted with SiliconEye machine vision for tracing and interactive nesting.

The Elektron Quattro is made in cut widths to suit roll and full hide cutting. The Elektron Quattro can be fitted with 2, 3 or 4 steered tool axes and carry large and small rotary blade cutters, drag blades and punch tools to handle the most complex work. The Elektron Quattro is a fully featured, future proof industrial strength cutting system.

On the Elektron Quattro, tools are changed automatically under software control. However Cam-lock tools can be changed by hand in a few seconds so you can fit the tools you need, when you need.

The Cam-lock tool range includes 18mm, 28mm and 45mm rotary blades, tangential or drag knives with various depth stops for normal and high friction materials, creasing and scoring tools in a wide range of profiles and drill-punch sizes from pin to over 25mm. Drill-punch inserts are easy to sharpen and exchange.

Aeronaut's Tangent software is the key to reducing fabric waste and Tangent's powerful and user friendly cutter control is essential to increase production. 

Fast and efficient autonesting can pay for a cutting system in months if your fabric is expensive - and isn't waste fabric the most expensive fabric in your business? 

Aeronaut has developed rapid patterning software and CAD plugins to reduce the design to cut time down to a few minutes on complex patterns.

Aeronaut's revolutionary SiliconEye machine vision software can accurately trace and digitise a table full of patterns in seconds.

With Aeronaut's full-table or gantry mounted machine vision systems, aligning cut profiles to patterned fabric or digitally printed material is simple.

Inkjet printing is the fastest way to do pattern numbers, markings and reference text on almost any fabric.
