Automatic tool recognition

Changing tools is quick and easy. Automatic tool recognition, combined with digital and mechanical depth and or pressure control, insures precision cutting on a wide variety of materials.

The F Series base unit comes equipped with a drag module and Summa ’s revolutionary optical camera marker recognition system for accurate contour cutting of printed flexible or rigid substrate materials.

Media advance Clamps, Roll support and Conveyor System

Multiple material handling options ensure optimal workflow for roll, sheet and board material. Pneumatically driven media advance clamps hold the material down while pulling it forward in order to work continuously in panels or multiple jobs.

The roll support with media flanges keeps the media aligned for correct loading. Thanks to the conveyor system, material is also fed while cutting through.

Vacuum Table with Vacuum Selector

The powerful vacuum pump with sound absorber holds the material steady in place during the job. Moreover, by blowing under the material that floats over the table, the electronic switching valve makes loading and unloading a child's play. The vacuum selector adjusts the vacuum width automatically to the working area.

Multi Functional Head

On the multi functional head, three modules can be mounted with a single screw system. Each module has an ID which is automatically recognized when the module is installed.

The central unit is equipped with a laser pointer for positioning the origin and setting material boundaries. Furthermore, the integrated camera system that reads the registration marks guarantees fast and accurate contour cutting.

Tangential module

The Tangential module is the most powerful and most flexible module: it offers a vertical force of 12 kg and corresponds to a whole range of matching tools. Each tool has its own barcode ID that ensures automatic recognition and parameter setting. For each application, an according tool can be installed on the tangential module.

Drag module

The Drag module is a super fast module for making notations with pens or kiss-cutting a wide range of materials with a pressure of 600 gr. using a drag knife.

Axis Control

Axis Control is standard delivered software that gives full control over Summa's cutting table at your fingertips. The optimized design for touch screen control makes Axis Control the optimum interface for the machine operator.

Thanks to Summa's remote controller, the operator is even free to move around the table while changing the basic settings.

SummaFlex

SummaFlex is a front-end application with job preparation, post processor and import plug-ins for CAD and illustration software (e.g. AutoCAD, Illustrator, CorelDRAW).The software integrates the Summa table perfectly into your workflow. It is the perfect link between your design station, RIP station, printers and cutting devices.

Once the workflow is set up, macros automate the process. Consequently the operator's handling before starting the next job is reduced to a minimum as well as the downtime of the table.

SummaFlex Pro

SummaFlex Pro has all the features of the standard version plus support for optical camera recognition, allowing for maximum flexibility in positioning marks and increased accuracy when contour cutting.
