Optimize Material Yield With Gerber Technology's Integrated Cutting Solutions, Featured at IFAI Expo

Gerber Technology is showcasing its integrated industrial fabrics cutting solutions for optimizing material yields and workflows in the Gerber booth (#558) at the Industrial Fabrics Association International (IFAI) Specialty Fabrics Expo and Advanced Textiles Expo in Anaheim, Calif., through Oct. 9.

A long time provider of integrated automation systems, software and support across all aspects of the industrial fabrics value chain, Gerber solutions have been applied in a broad range of industrial applications and a variety of industrial textiles and advanced materials to significantly improve customers' productivity, quality and profitability. Visitors to the Gerber booth at IFAI will learn how to apply the latest innovations, from software design to automated spreading and cutting, to their operations.

"The technical textile industry is as broad and diverse as the products it generates, with new and innovative applications being developed on a daily basis," said Mike Elia, CEO of Gerber Technology. "The technical textile industry is a growing segment within the textile industry. Gerber continues to commit development resources and create innovative solutions to support the design and fabrication of products using these textiles."

Of particular significance, Gerber will be displaying its recently launched Paragon® HX, an addition to its successful Paragon LX low-ply cutting platform. The Paragon HX features several advanced tooling and data integration capabilities with CutWorks®, a modular design, nesting and cutting software, and Cut-Ticketing workflow, which connects data from the AccuMark® CAD system through the spreader and to the cutter. The result is a complete end-to-end technical textile cutting system for faster throughput, fewer errors and higher material yields.

"Since installing our Paragon LX, it has become an integral part of our operation. For years we had been manually cutting a wide range of material including Kevlar, polyethylene, Honeywell Spectra™ fiber, nylon and foams," said Ryan Reed, chief operating officer of Hesco Armor. "With Paragon, we've seen a 400 percent increase in efficiency, and achieved a 4 month payback as a result of labor and material savings. It's our first Gerber cutter, and it has been easy to use, low maintenance and overall had a high business impact. We anticipate it will be the first of many."

Visit the Gerber booth at IFAI and members of Gerber's knowledgeable and experienced solutions team to see the latest innovations for designing and fabricating a variety of products, ranging from protective apparel to non-woven disposable and durable goods, and from products made from specialty and industrial fabrics to products made from medical textiles.
