GERBER Cutter Z7 Cutting machines

GERBER Cutter Z7 automatic cutting machine was built in 2016 in China by Gerber Technology (Lectra). The machine is used in the production of clothing and all sewing products. It can cut both single and multi-layered fabrics with a maximum thickness of 7.2 cm (after compression). Cutting is performed by means of a robust, vertical oscillating knife, which ensures the highest cutting precision and shape repeatability regardless of the type of material. The advanced Knife Intelligence “Plus” system controls the movement of the knife, changing its angle, cutting path and acceleration in real time to ensure precise cutting of repeatable parts for all layers every time. Cutting paths are additionally optimised by the SMARTbite system, which automatically adjusts the knife advance speed based on the height and type of overlap.

The oscillating knife is continuously sharpened during cutting, which minimises the number of undercut lines and ensures excellent cut quality while maintaining high productivity. It is also cooled to prevent the hot knife from melting the material. The work surface of the cutting machine consists of brushes that eliminate the risk of surface damage during cutting. The GERBER Z7 Cutter is controlled from an industrial controller with a Windows operating system and an interactive interface that provides information about the cut and its progress during operation. An advanced diagnostic system and proven components increase the reliability of the operation over many years of use.

Together with the machine, the ALLCOMP AERO MAXIMA 200-120-200 spreading machine cooperates. This device is designed to spread the material on the working table. The components used with excellent technical parameters ensure long and uninterrupted operation of the machine. These include an automatic knife sharpening system and special sensors ensuring even fabric edge positioning. All this makes the offered GERBER Z7 automatic cutting machine an excellent choice for the textile industry.
