2. Gerber & CAD-Driven Die Cutting
Using our Gerber® Cutting System and its computer numerical controls (CNC),
materials can be processed without tooling by loading CAD data, digitizing
templates or patterns for cutting on cloth, fabrics, knits, foam, mesh, light
screen, vinyl, paper, light gauge plastic sheet, felts, non-wovens and lami-
nates up to 63” wide.
This system compliments our extensive Die Cutting capability, by allowing us
to develop patterns, prove out sizes and fit/function, and then tool up for
high volume production, as the program warrants it.
Our facility also has “traditional” lay-up and cut tables with knife cutters
used by skilled operators available for prototype, development and small
volume projects.
Slitting & Re-Rolling
- Fairway's Slitting and Re-Rolling systems can process woven cloth, films,
vinyls, paper and non-woven fabric rolls up to 102" wide.
- Slitting materials to as narrow as 15 mm on a blade type cutter that
slices through the material and a 2” ID paper core to give you a slit roll of
goods prepared for your needs.
- Supplying slit goods 1” wide or more on individual cores that fit the
customer’s needs. The yardage put ups you need for your process.
- Other capabilities include re-rolling two materials together to make a two
ply or bi-layer finished roll.
