Gerber Technology’s integrated speed and accuracy of the Taurus II cutter with the enhanced workflow technology of CutWorks® 9 software can result in an up to 12 percent increase in hide cutting throughput for manufacturers. This means an increase of as much as one hide per hour with a high level of accuracy and expanded yield potential, said Tom Gordon, director of product management with Gerber Technology.
Using CutWorks 9 with the Taurus II cutter results in a maximum hide yield, Gordon said. The Taurus II produces the maximum throughput with a single image hide capture, further reducing time and increasing accuracy.
Taurus IIs computerized nesting engine is 250 times more powerful than previous offerings, mapping hides and flaws in seconds. The process is enhanced by CutWorks 9s flaw detection feature, which maps flaws much more closely for an expanded yield per hide. In addition, the CutWorks 9 nesting package, in combination with the Taurus II, allows users to work on both sides of the cutter simultaneously, Gordon said. You are able to process and nest simultaneously on one side while cutting on the other, resulting in significant time savings.
Taurus II also features improved cut accuracy, particularly in working with complex and delicate leather parts. Gerbers 25+ years of leather cutting expertise results in a much more reliable, accurate cutting experience for users. Our cutters handle some of the most delicate, high-grade leathers in the world, so users can have confidence in Gerber. This is of the utmost importance to us, said Gordon.
CutWorks 9 software features enhanced an AccuMark® system, Gerbers complete design, grading, marker making and production planning solution for flexible materials. CutWorks 9 is a standard feature on all Gerber single-ply cutters, including the Taurus II, Z1, DCS 1500 and DCS 2500.
