Composite Materials Industry Cutting Application

1. Introduction

Composite materials—such as carbon fiber prepreg, fiberglass, aramid, and honeycomb structures—are widely used across aerospace, automotive, marine, and sports industries. These materials are known for their high strength-to-weight ratio, durability, and flexibility, but they also pose challenges during processing due to their layered or reinforced structures.

Our CNC Vibrating Knife Cutting Machines provide a precise, clean, and efficient solution for cutting a wide range of composite materials without fraying, delaminating, or generating dust. Whether you’re processing prepreg fabrics, soft laminates, or thick insulation composites, our machines deliver the accuracy and reliability your production demands.

2. Materials Supported

Carbon Fiber Prepregs (PAN-based, pitch-based, viscose-based), Glass Fiber Prepregs, Aramid/Kevlar, CFRP/GFRP

3. Machine Features

• High-frequency oscillating knife
  Cleanly slices through fiber-reinforced materials without causing burn marks or tool wear.
• Multi-tool configuration
  Optional rotary blades, kiss-cut tools, creasing wheels, and V-cut tools can be installed for complex processing needs.
• Heavy-duty vacuum table
  Ensures firm material fixation, especially for slippery or rolled composite surfaces.
• Smart conveyor feeding (optional)
  For continuous cutting of roll-fed composite fabrics such as fiberglass or carbon prepreg.
• Automatic nesting software
