Gerber has announced that its patented Pivex reciprocating cutting tool is now available for the GERBERcutter Z1 to further enhance its accuracy and efficiency on tough to cut and high value materials.

Pivex is a patented, proven cutting technology available on several Gerber platforms including the Taurus and DCS line of cutters. By adding this cutting technology to the Z1, the unprecedented level of accuracy and cut quality Pivex brings is now available in a continuous cut conveyorized workflow for those cutting composites, technical textiles and other tough to cut or high value materials. The Pivex blade increases cut quality with the elimination of hangers, optimizes cut paths for extremely intricate patterns and reduces waste by ridding material overcuts typically experienced with round wheel cutting.

In addition, Gerber will hold demonstrations of its AccuMark and CutWorks software platforms and the integration into the GERBERcutter Z1.
