Modular tooling system Integrated tool initialization Optimal material hold-down Process materials up to 110 mm/4.3 in thick Automatic Router bit Changer - ARC Modular tooling systemIntegrated tool initializationOptimal material hold-downProcess materials up to 110 mm/4.3 in thickAutomatic Router bit Changer - ARC

Define which functions your G3 cutter has to perform and configure your modular Zünd tooling accordingly.

Quick, precise, time-saving: The setup for knives, router bits, and creasing wheels occurs through a fully automatic initialization system. Manual adjustments for determining proper cutting depths are no longer necessary. The ITI Initialization System makes the process quick and precise.

Energy-efficient vacuum turbines ensure reliable material hold-down during the cutting process. The vacuum area is divided into zones, which can be switched on and off individually across the width of the machine.

On a G3 cutting system, you can process materials up to a thickness of 110 mm/4.3 in. Depending on your requirements, the G3 can be configured with a beam height of 60 or 120 mm/1, 2 or 4 in. This means more flexibility and versatility in your production workflow.

The automatic router bit/tool changer ARC dramatically reduces set-up times and simplifies tool handling. The magazine can accommodate up to eight different cutting, polishing, or engraving bits. The bits needed for processing are automatically removed, clamped, initialized, and cleaned after each use. The ITI initialization system checks the zero point after each tool change, ensuring perfectly consistent routing depths.
