Summa F1625 CF Vantage Flatbed Cutting System for Dry Carbon Fiber

Standard on every F1625 CF: conveyor system with the 8.2 ft extension and picking area, pneumatic media clamps, clamp bar, roll support, vacuum table with automatic zone selection, camera with positioning laser, LED status bar.

Nesting to kitting. Nesting software feeds the cut file to GoProduce and the kit list to the picking area through GoConnect. Plies come off the extension already sorted by kit, with the pen holder marking each ply if you want it labeled on the material.

Tandem workflow. Two rows of vacuum zones split the table front and rear. Cut on one half, load the other, and the table alternates.

Barcode workflow. OPOS barcodes identify the job and pull the cut file, read by the built-in camera or a hand scanner. Included with GoProduce.

Open integration. GoConnect's API links the table to MES and ERP so ply cutting shows up in your production tracking. GoData reports run counts and utilization.

Optional: Heavy Duty Roll Support for rolls to 440 lb.

What is the Summa F1625 CF Vantage?

An F1625 Vantage built as a dedicated configuration for dry carbon fiber cutting. It has coated circuit boards, an electrical cabinet held under negative pressure so air flows out rather than in, and shielded connectors on the module heads, so conductive carbon dust can't short the electronics. It adds an 8.2 ft conveyor extension with a picking area and a nesting-to-kitting workflow through GoConnect.

Why does carbon fiber dust matter?

Carbon fiber is conductive. Dust from cutting settles on circuit boards and inside connectors, and over time it bridges contacts and causes shorts. A standard flatbed cutter will cut carbon fiber; it won't keep doing it reliably. The CF package keeps the dust out.

Can I add the CF protection to a standard F1625 later?

The CF is a factory configuration. Ask us before assuming a standard table can be converted; the answer depends on what Summa can do with your serial number.

Does it cut prepreg?

Yes. Prepreg plies run with the drag and tangential tools on the Core+ module. Dry fabrics run on the rotary knife module. Both can be mounted at the same time.

How does the kitting workflow work?

Your nesting software sends the cut file to GoProduce and the kit list to the picking area through GoConnect. The conveyor moves cut plies onto the 8.2 ft extension, sorted by kit, and the pen holder can mark each ply on the material. The API also feeds MES or ERP so the cut shows up in production tracking.

How much floor space does the F1625 CF take?

The F1625 base is 97.7" wide by 135.4" deep by 42.4" high. Add 8.2 ft for the conveyor extension and picking area, plus room at the loading end. Summa has not yet published a combined footprint; we'll lay it out with you from the drawings.

What consumables does the F1625 CF use?

Rotary blades for the dry fabric module, tangential and drag blades for prepreg and gasket work, oscillating blades for cores, and a conveyor belt cut to the F1625's length plus the extension. Ask us about belt configuration for the CF.
