The right modulesfor every application

Kiss-Cut ModuleThe main features of the Kiss-Cut Module (KCM-S) are low weight and minimal stroke, guaranteeing maximum processingspeeds. In addition, this module excels in ease of use, quick tool changes, and high precision.Depending on the application, you have the option to choose between two processing modes:In pressure mode, the module exerts constant, user-de nable pressure (between 30 and 1600 grams) on the substrate.The top layer of pressure-sensitive materials is cut cleanly and accurately, without damage to the liner. In position mode,the tool through-cuts the material to a set depth.The Kiss-Cut Module accommodates the universal cut ting tool (CT), a cutting tool with integrated, height-adjustable glideshoe (ST), and a drawing/plotting tool (DT).

The Universal Module (UM, UM-S) accommodates a wide range of tools for many different func tions. High processingspeeds, stability, and proven technology distinguish the Universal Module (UM) for G3 as well as the Universal Module-S(UM-S) for the S3 line of cutters. The Universal Module makes adapting the Zünd cutting system easy and cost-effectivewhenever needs change. Switching from one application to another happens in a few simple steps.

A bayonet lock allows for quick tool changes. The module can operate in either pressure or position mode. A glide disk isavailable for both the UM and the UM-S; this option facilitates process ing wavy materials.

Universal Module

Punch ModuleThe Punching Module (PUM/PUM-S) makes it possible to ef ciently and reliably punch symmetrical (round) holes in avariety of materials, e.g. leather, rubber, and synthetic materials. Two punches accommodate tools in different sizes (fromØ 0.5 mm to 5.5 mm) and grades of steel (HSS or carbide). Also integrated is a marking module for drawing and marking.

For reliable, high-quality results, the punch ac tion of the tool is immediately followed by a tool rotation, The waste materialfrom the holes is sucked into a container located at the back of the module. The waste container can easily be removed

for emptying.

Marking ModuleThe Marking Module (MAM) accommodates various pens and drawing implements. Typical applications include plottingof dielines with ink pen on polyester, pattern marking for leather applications with silver pen, or labeling of patterns withballpoint pen. All available Zünd drawing inserts can be used with the Marking Module. Pneumatically driven, this moduleoffers high processing speeds and requires no maintenance.

The Marking Module is available in two versions:Marking Module, single, with one pen positionMarking Module, dual, with two pen positions

Routing Module

Designed speci cally to meet the rigorous demands of 24/7 graphics production, the G3 router module (RM-A) is the ideal modulefor processing rigid plastics, non-ferrous metals, aluminum composites, and many other substrates that require routing.

Excellent speed, productivity, and versatility are the de ning attributes of the Zünd Router Modu -le. A 1 kW high-frequency spindle drives the RM-A, capable of processing tough, rigid substratesup to 26 mm / 1“ and soft er materials up to a maximum of 50mm / 2“ thick. The high frequencyof the spindle in combination with the solid construction of G3 result in higher processing speedsthan are possible with conventional CNC router s. This maximizes the productivity of the cutterwhen processing acrylics, wood, and plastics and enhances the range of materials that can becut.

Materials and applications

Minimum Quantity LubricationMinimum quantity lubrication (MQL) permits awless routing of solid, non-ferrous metals, such asPERALUMAN®, Signicolor® EN AQ 5754 and 3005.

Surface compensationA unique surface-recognition system allows for consistent, precise engraving, v-cutting, anddrilling of materials even with inconsistent material thicknesses.

3D routingG3 is capable of performing simultaneous 3-axis (X , Y, Z) routing operations quickly and easily.With compatible 3D les, the G3 router can be used to produce dimensional signage.

Dust collectionEf cient removal of dust and debris c reated during the routing process is c ritical for maintai -ning consistent cut quality and minimizing manual cleanup. Keeping the cutting surface cleanfacilitates quick changeovers between routing and cutting jobs. The suction is user-adjustable tokeep small parts from being lifted or accidentally vacuumed away. The dust-collection collar ispositioned automatically for the set material thickness.

The routing debris travels through the vacuum hose, which is supported by a gantry, to thevacuum cleaner. If the installation site cannot accommodate the height of the gantry, guiderailscan be mounted directly to the ceiling. Depending on the application, Zünd recommends usingspecialized vacuum/dust extraction systems. The cutter automatically turns the vacuum systemon/off as needed.

Active air coolingThe routing module‘s integral heat sink channels air ow from the dust extraction unit to ef c ient -ly cool the spindle. This maximizes both performance and longevity of the router spindle.

Revolutionary vacuum hold-down, mindful of environmentWith the combination of Sealgrip™ underlay and a turbine-based vacuum generator, even verysmall parts can be cut. Sealgrip™ is a highly porous, sacri cial underlay material with consi -derable lateral friction that keeps parts from moving sideways. The cutting system automaticallycontrols the pre-set vacuum pressure, dynamically increasing or decreasing turbine speed asneeded. Conventional routing systems using standard vacuum pumps comsume 6 times more

energy than the G3 vacuum system with Sealgrip™ routing underlay.

The variable knife pressure of theKiss-Cut Tool (KCT) makes this theideal tool for kiss-cutting thin ma-terials to a liner. All common typesof vinyl/ lms up to 2-3 mm (1/8“)thick can be cut at maximumspeeds. A xed glide shoe allowsfor maintaining set cutting depths,even with e.g. re ective vinyls.

The Universal Cutting Tool (UCT)is perfect for through-cuttingmaterials with thicknesses up toapprox. 3-5 mm (3/16“). A spring-loaded glide shoe permits cuttingvery ne details. Optionally, a xed

glide shoe can be used for cutt ingat set depths, e.g. when cuttingprinting or coating blankets. Theuse of drag knives allows formaximum processing speeds, andcompared to motor-driven tools,the UCT is very inexpensive topurchase and maintain.

At the core of the Universal Rou-ting Tool (URT) is a 300 Watt routerspindle. In combination with the3 mm router bits Zünd offers, thistool delivers high-performancerouting for a wide range of appli-cations. In engraving mode, theuser can set an exact processingdepth for consistent cutting/engraving even if the materialthickness varies. Besides softermaterials, the URT is capable ofprocessing thicker/tougher sub-strates in multiple passes.
