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.

The static cutting table has proven itself as the go-to resource for materials like cotton, nylon and vinyl as well as difficult-to-cut materials—such as polystrand, p-tex, and fiberglass-polyester blends. The static table system is available in a range of system lengths and widths to meet the demands for prototypes, one-offs and full-production runs. The system’s high-precision configuration features multi-axis motion for more defined and accurate cuts. Material is spread across the static table by an operator or with the use of a pneumatic gripper bar. The open plenum vacuum system design ensures evenly dispersed airflow for optimal material hold-down. This computer-controlled system features zoning capabilities to enable cutting in one area while the operator is simultaneously picking parts in another, maximizing daily production capacity.

Features such as a pneumatically controlled z-axis and a manually adjustable depth-control function facilitate cutting materials such as soft or hard wood, composites, fiberboard, and a variety of plastics. A large-capacity debris-collection system helps create a clean work environment.

• Single- or low-ply layer cutting.
• Two spindle tool holders and a router.
• Exclusive carbon impregnated anti-static fiber belt for long life and cutting quality
• Sacrificial routing surface
• Large capacity router debris collection system.
• Available add-on for the conveyor or static table cutting systems

Precise system operations with state-of-the-art motion control communications offer an industrial-strength solution for cutting up to 3cm of compressed material goods.

Uniquely crafted in the USA to automatically pull stacked material plies from the spreading table to a modular, bristle-block conveyor bed for reciprocating knife cutting of patterns, the models combine precise system operations with state-of-the-art motion control communications for an industrial-strength solution for low- to high-ply cutting of flexible material goods

The Raptor models have been engineered to meet the aggressive demands of clients in growing market segments like the apparel, industrial fabrics and composites industries; customers cutting traditional textiles like cotton, wool and denim -as well as- modern technical materials like kevlar, nonwoven polyesters, foam-backed vinyl and other industrial fabrics.

Newly engineered features include:

• Heavy-duty frame, gantry and tool head design
• Modular tool head and frame components
• Improved access for maintenance and replacement of internal components and consumable items
• Sensors for monitoring optimum cycle speeds
• Direct knife cooling improves cutting speeds and the ability to cut heavier-ounce materials

The machine features a low profile, polished, streamlined baseplate is designed to reduce friction and distortion in the lay, regardless of the number of plies. Constructed of superior quality materials to ensure durability and longevity.

The Eastman 629X Blue Streak II is available in eight sizes, four strokes, and a multitude of electrical specifications.

Commonly used to cut straight lines or large radius curves, Eastman round knives are a combination of versatility, power and ease of use – all in one. The round knives are designed for a wide range of applications – from the softest silks to the toughest industrial fabrics. With five different blade sizes, various horsepower ratings and custom engineered gear ratios, the round knife is unsurpassed for straight cuts. Maximize performance and maneuverability by selecting the smallest blade size to handle current and anticipated greatest ply thickness. The possibilities of these powerful machines are endless.

The BK machines can be equipped with a standard roller base plate or with mounting brackets that allow the machine to be mounted for overhead support.

The standard narrow profile allows for clean slitting and snag-free material flow.

The machine is also available with a push handle; a dual push/pull handle for extremely wide cuts requiring more than one operator; and a swivel handle for limited space applications.

• Perma-Field Motor for more cutting torque with less heat build-up
• Reliable, versatile and easy to use
• Precision engineered profile and interior reinforcing ribs keeps track rigid, even at lengths over 72 inches (1.82m)
• Standard 40 inch (1m) length handle, optional lengths and configurations available
• Supplied with a clamping bracket that makes it possible to attach to most standard cutting tables
• Automatic models save time and money by offering a motorized cutting head and track lifting mechanism

The 534 Falcon is suited for light woolens, cotton, silk and synthetics, providing a .5 inch (1.27 cm) of cutting depth.

The 548 Falcon is the choice for woolens, canvas and outerwear materials featuring a cutting capacity of .5 in. – 1 in. (1.27cm – 2.54cm).

• Utilizes the Eastman Cardinal Round Knife models with a special baseplate and handle
• Offers increased cutting capacity
• Higher torque motor for effortless operation
• Cutting head moves easily across the track, reducing operator stress

This is the ideal companion to any spreading machine for cutting out flaws, or when laying up fabrics.

The handle allows the operator to reach across the table with ease, thereby improving cutting quality.

• Features a long-handle and power switch, in addition to all of the standard D2 features
• Ideal companion to any spreading machine for cutting out flaws, or when laying up fabrics
• Allows the operator to reach across the table with ease, thereby improving cutting capability
