for fabricsfor awningssplitting

Overview
WeftMaster® CUT-iT is a thermal fabric cutter system for hot‑wire cutting of synthetic fabrics, from thin/light to dense/heavy materials. It produces precise, uniform selvedges and reduces fraying and style change times, supporting high‑quality and technical textile production.

Key benefits

• Consistent high‑quality selvedges and reduced fabric fraying.
• Faster style/article changes via storable settings (styles) in the control unit.
• Single control unit can manage multiple cutters and split fabrics into multiple webs.
• Precisely controllable hot‑wire parameters; settings are storable and reusable.

Highlights from product description

• Optimized for thermal cutting of synthetic fabrics across a wide range of weights and densities.
• Improves cutting quality and shortens product/style changeover times.
• Used by manufacturers of high‑end and technical fabrics where uniform selvedges are required.
• Suitable for safety‑ and performance‑critical applications such as airbags, tarpaulins and sailcloth.
• Demanded in cleantech, medtech, geotextiles, automotive and other high‑tech sectors.

Client–server mode
The CUT‑iT control unit supports a client–server architecture for synchronized control across multiple units.

• Server + up to 32 client units supported.
• Changing a setting on the server updates all clients simultaneously.
• Enables operation of over 100 cutters in parallel for large‑scale synchronized installations.

Application examples

• Airbag fabrics — ensures flawless quality and uniform selvedges for safety‑critical airbags.
• Sailcloth — maintains shape and performance under wind, water and salt exposure.
• Coated fabrics (tarpaulins, sailcloth) — provides optimal selvedges for coating and downstream processes.

Operation & features

• Thermal cutting with hot‑wire cutters and precisely controllable parameters.
• Control unit stores settings as styles for quick recall and rapid article/style changes.
• Digital control only (improved tamper resistance compared to analogue interfaces).
