The Heavy-Duty Answer to Automated Cutting

Designed to run 24x7 without sacrificing speed or accuracy, Eastman's latest low-ply CNC cutting conveyor, Eagle-C, delivers heavy-duty continuous cutting performance that can stand up to any cutting requirement.

How it Works

Users program cutting requirements such as blade type, shape, number of pieces to be cut and nesting on the easy-to-use Windows® XP plotter motion-control software, EasiCut(tm). Material is automatically fed and spread across the conveyor with automated feeders and spreaders. As cutting begins, material is vacuumed to the surface to ensure material hold-down for cutting accuracy. The gantry passes over the material, cutting with speed and accuracy.
