Knife cutting machine Gerber Paragon

for fabricsCNC

Overview
Gerber Paragon is a multi-ply fabric cutting system designed for upholstered furniture production and industrial textile cutting. Combining intelligent engineering, integrated controls and an intuitive user interface, Paragon automates cutting workflows to deliver precise parts from the first pass and improve throughput and machine availability.

Product positioning
Multi-ply cutting solution for upholstered furniture and industrial textile environments, engineered for repeatability and high productivity.

Key benefits

• Improve supply chain visibility: actionable metrics and dashboards help identify bottlenecks and support data-driven decisions.
• Execute with precision and speed: real-time sensors detect knife flex to maintain high cutting accuracy.
• Maximize uptime and productivity: fast setup, an intuitive HMI and simplified maintenance reduce downtime and accelerate job starts.
• Energy-efficient operation: efficient design and automatic temperature control can reduce energy use by up to 25% (manufacturer specification).
• Operator guidance with KERI (Knowledge, Experience & Reference Interface): guides operators through cutting steps and can perform automatic notch and depth adjustments to reduce fusing and prevent overcuts/undercuts.
• Actionable reporting: single-click reports provide total cutting time vs. idle time, time between jobs, units cut and other KPIs to optimise workflows.

Features & technology

• Intelligent engineering with integrated controls and precision sensors, including knife flex detection and vacuum management.
• Automatic temperature control sensors to prevent fusing during cutting and sharpening cycles.
• Quick-change, long-life sharpening stones for reduced maintenance time.
• KERI interface for step-by-step operator guidance and automatic cutting adjustments.
• Operational metrics and reporting to monitor performance and detect workflow issues.
• Available product video and downloadable brochure illustrating Paragon operations and setup.
