Aeronaut Automation - The Company

Aeronaut Automation is an Australian company specialising in the manufacture of wide-span flatbed automated cutters for industrial, recreational and technical textiles as well as composite fibres. Our cutting systems use technologies such as laser, ultrasonic, rotary blade, crush cut, and reciprocating blades. 

Our factory is in Terrey Hills, a suburb on Sydney's northern peninsula. Aeronaut's factory is approximately 25 minutes from Sydney's central business district. 

With nearly 30 years of experience, Aeronaut Automation is recognised as a leading manufacturer of flatbed digital cutters. The company develops in-house software for cutter control, automatic nesting of patterns, and machine vision systems for profile alignment and automatic pattern tracing. 

Aeronaut's cutting systems are among the largest in the world, with capabilities extending up to 11 meters in width and over 50 meters in length. 

In addition to our standard offerings, Aeronaut also develops custom machinery for niche applications, demonstrating a commitment to continuous innovation and meeting specific customer needs.  

Aeronaut Automation evolved from Aeronautics Sails. This makes Aeronaut's focus quite different to other manufacturers. We know textiles and are proud to be a part of an industry which has been the spearhead of industrial revolutions all around the world. We build the machinery we would like to own in a country which is a very long way away from Europe and the USA. 

As a result, the cutters we make are high performance machines but heavier duty than almost all of our competitor's products. This has given our machines a reputation for long life and reliability. In fact, 98% every machine we have made since 1995 is still running and our cutters regularly replace much younger worn out or inaccurate machines made by other manufacturers.

Another big point of difference is that Aeronaut makes the full range of cutters from simple, low-cost entry level machines right up to ultrasonic and laser cutters and string sail machines costing hundreds of thousands of dollars. A customer can get the machinery and software they need without having to change suppliers for each element.

Aeronaut makes every effort possible to keep old machines working, even when the parts which Aeronaut does not make are made obsolete by their manufacturers. Mainly this applies to motion controllers but we can proudly say that we can make any part or substitute any electronics to keep any of our machines working for their owners.
