A Perfect Cut for All

Zund America with headquarters in Oak Creek, Wisconsin, is the sister company of Zünd Systemtechnik AG, the family-owned Swiss manufacturer of multi-functional digital cutting systems. Zünd has been developing and manufacturing digital cutters for four decades – in fact, 2024 marks the 40th anniversary of Zünd Switzerland, while Zund America is proud to be celebrating its 20th!

Zünd has gained a worldwide reputation for being the leading manufacturer of high-quality cutting solutions uniquely geared towards meeting the needs of each customer and industry. While Zünd systems are widely used in textile/technical textile, and composites, they can also be found in countless leather, graphics, packaging, and many other industrial applications. Built for 24/7 operation and powered by application-specific control software, Zünd cutters offer an extensive selection of modular, specialized tool options and workflow automation. Zünd makes digital cutting of textiles – and many other types of flexible or rigid materials – simple, productive, and profitable.

Zünd has created production workflows for state-of-the-art, digital textile cutting that begin well before any actual cutting takes place and don’t end as soon as cutting is over. Innovative solutions are available for every phase of the process, including the latest version of the powerful MindCUT Studio Production software with a range of exciting new features.

Zünd High-Performance Rotary Cutting Tool.

Among these is Feature Recognition, a digital workflow that enables the software to detect motifs and different parts of a garment using AI. In the blink of an eye, it selects the model, aligns the motif and reference points, and attributes individual parts for perfectly precise subsequent cutting. This automates a previously very time-consuming, manual process. MindCUT now also offers a Printed Cut function that automatically captures printed designs in addition to Pattern Matching, which recognizes repeating patterns, compensates for material distortions, and automatically matches the markers to the pattern.

The new Roll Handling System – RHS is the latest Zünd material-handling solution for textile applications. The system can hold up to ten rolls of fabric, which can be identical or of different types.

The large, fully automated RHS enables extended, uninterrupted production cutting by autonomously feeding material onto the cutter. The only remaining operator intervention consists of scanning barcodes of individual rolls while loading them onto the RHS. The material assignment and the RHS itself are controlled directly through the MindCUT software.
