SM-400-TA
Dual Axis Cutting Machine
SM-400 | Dual Axis Cutting Machine
The SM-400-TA was designed to cut rectangular shapes from specialty fabrics typically used for the production of awnings. Its industrial design, range of cutting technologies, and specifically developed software, make this machine the ideal cutting solution for manufacturers looking for a highly efficient way to create panels from a variety of textiles.
First introduced in 1999, multiple innovative solutions were integrated into the machine to ensure total reliability, making the SM-400-TA the top-of-the-line X-Y cutting machine it is today. If you’re looking for fast and highly efficient production cycles and superior cuts and an easy-to-use machine the SM-400-TA is the solution for you.
To prevent shrinking and puckering of crystal (clear) PVC when exposed to sunlight, heat and cold, Solaredge Automation developed a system for the just-in-time heat treatment with infrared light. After this treatment the crystal PVC remains perfectly stable and can be integrated in products such as industrial doors, and tents and terrace covers, without the inconvenience of shrinkage, even when exposed to the elements. While other heat-treatment systems cause the crystal PVC to age, stiffen, and often give it a yellowish color, the treatment with the Solaredge Automation system leaves the material perfectly transparent, clear, and flexible.
