DCS 3500 Conveyorized Cutting System

The DCS 3500 conveyorized GERBERcutter system offers the highest single-ply throughput available. The advantages of low- or single-ply cutting are speed, accuracy, and flexibility. Added benefits include material savings, pattern match capabilities, and lower operating costs.

At the heart of the DCS 3500 system are its continuous-cutting conveyorized bed, high-speed servo drive, enhanced tool motion and powerful software tools. Non-value-added costs are eliminated, because there is no need for spreading machinery, spreading labor and plant space. Also, the DCS 3500 eliminates the cost of paper underlay or plastic overlay. Simplified material handling, reduced tooling, and flexible production management all add up to reduced operating costs. The cutter's small footprint can greatly reduce floor space requirements.

Multiple tool mounts enable you to use a straight knife, wheel knife, pounce (perforating) wheel, notching tool, or drill, up to three at one time, reducing time lost during tool changes. Pressure on the tools can be individually regulated to accommodate various materials and applications. The operator's tasks are simplified, because cutting information, such as varying speed to prevent material motion, is embedded within the file.

Suites of furniture, in particular, benefit from the DCS 3500 cutter's ability to precisely cut continuous patterns of florals, prints, plaids, or stripes. The DCS 3500 is the ideal cutter for apparel, furniture, and automobile manufacturers and suppliers who must meet the growing demand for made-to-order and just-in-time production.
