The automatic cutting machine CUTEX TBC 53R is useful whenever VELCRO tape is used (e.g. safety wear, medical products, bags). Often, VELCRO tape needs to be cut in a round shape rather than simply straight. Because of this, the round edges do not stick out in the final product and have a better fitting in the product design. Having rising labor expenses in mind, it's becoming increasingly necessary to automate VELCRO shape cutting.

CUTEX TBC 53R has an automatic material feed system. Depending on the cutting length it is possible to have up to 60-80cuts/min. The cutting is done by a customized cutting tool, which can handle a material width of 70mm maximum. The cutting tool is individualized and can be designed for various patterns (e.g. rounded arrow shape, semi-circles, other customized shapes). Additionally, it is possible to employ a compound-cutting die in order to cut two tapes parallel resulting in a higher productivity.

In order to increase the flexibility of the cutting machine, it is possible to easily swap cutting tools. It is also very simple to set up the machine by entering the cutting length and the quantity. These features make it easy to respond to changes in the final product design. Due to the very easy handling of the machine, small quantities of a certain tape length can be cut efficiently. This helps to reduce the stock of pre-cut material. The device is also equipped with a roll holder as well as an integrated auto-stop function in case the tape material runs out.

The CUTEX TBC53R is a compact-designed and portable cutting machine for any kind of VELCRO tape. A regular 220V power connection, very little space required, and no compressed air make it easy to employ it at any production site. Instead of creating a costly specialized machine, this machine is essentially an extension for the CUTEX portfolio of automated tape cutters. The machine is particularly useful for small and medium size serial productions, where flexible and automated cutting solutions for VELCRO tape are required.
