Solutions for Cutting Small Items and Accessories

SHIMA SEIKI’s new P-CAM100C, P-CAM120C, P-CAM160C, and P-CAM180C computerized cutting machines (NC cutting machines) are effective replacements for band knife cutting machines, ideal for cutting sheeting and other sample fabrics, as well as small items such as shoes and handbags. With the optional projector, accurate pattern-matching as well as cutting after fusing of interlining material is possible. The compact and easy-to-use P-CAM allows cutting that is normally jobbed-out, to be performed right where the pattern is made, for significant time savings. Cutting method can be selected from reciprocating knife, ultrasonic knife and conventional drag knife, allowing cutting of a wide range of materials from container bags to industrial materials such as CFRP or GFRP. Cutting depth and height are automatically adjusted to aid in longevity of the blade. Furthermore various measures are taken in consideration of the type of materials to be cut on this machine, such as dust prevention and auto knife cleaning. Double-cut prevention function and special cutting brushes are standard, as is cutting mat laydown. Cutting length begins at a compact 900mm, while the cutting area can be customized for long items. By using the optional barcode scanner, operation accuracy and efficiency is increased significantly by preventing mistakes upon pattern data input. It is also possible for P-CAM to double as a cutting plotter with its ability to cut cardboard as well as its pen attachment, maximizing overall space-effiency. Together with SHIMA SEIKI’s SDS-ONE APEX3 CAD system, P-CAM100C, P-CAM120C, P-CAM160C, and P-CAM180C provide smooth and efficient computer-to-cutting for a variety of industries from automotive and aerospace to industrial materials.
