Lectra's MFC Leather Auto cutting solution provides extremely high cutting quality and process repeatability. It optimizes material utilization, automatically scanning leather hides with an integrated camera to instantly identify quality zones.
The FocusAirbag laser cutting solution optimizes manufacturing processes to guarantee increased productivity and substantial material savings.
Its new operating software provides a more effective tool path, and traceability is ensured through detailed activity reports.
The solution's new vision system automatically scans and analyzes the material, taking account of the geometry of the components, the position of the airbag, and any possible distortions.
The congress also provided guests with a tour of Lectra's Shanghai International Advanced Technology Center (IATC), as well as a visit to local Lectra customers Tachi-S Taicang (car seat specialist), which is equipped with two VectorAuto cutters, and airbag specialist Automotive Safety Components International (ASCI), which is equipped with two Focus laser cutting systems.
“We have invested in two FocusAirbag solutions since 2003,” explained Mr. Shen, Vice President of the Jinheng Automotive Safety System Company. “They deliver incredible productivity and high quality of cut pieces, helping us to satisfy our demanding customers.”
“The Faurecia group has worked with Lectra's technologies for years,” said Xinghai Mai, General Manager of Faurecia Shanghai.
“We have been operating a Vector automated cutter in our Shanghai facility since this spring, and we're very satisfied with its productivity and efficiency.”
