Discover VectorFashion iX2 and VectorFashion Q2

Transition quickly from small series to significant volumes with the Vector iX2 and Vector Q2 range of cutters to keep up with fluctuating order volumes. Seize opportunities as they arise and achieve profitability without relying on traditional economies of scale.

The new generation of low-ply cutters

The Vector iX2 & Q2 is a state-of-the-art low-ply fabric-cutting range to enable manufacturers to cut small-quantity orders faster, with increased accuracy and at lower costs, and adapt their cutting room to meet the trend for smaller orders.

In today’s manufacturing climate, the frequency and quantity of small orders are continuously increasing; which is negatively affecting larger orders and the benefits of economies of scale. This ongoing trend of smaller orders results in shortening lead times and fabric-ply heights that are less than 2.5 cm.

6 key benefits of the Vector iX2 & Q2 low-ply fabric-cutting range

Greater production flexibility

A flexible production system facilitates easier transition between small-series and significant-volume to enable manufacturers to be more adaptable and responsive to changing market demands.

Reduced operating costs

An enhanced power consumption analysis and automated detection of worn blades prevents costly production disruptions and reduces maintenance costs to ensure above average equipment life and long-term cost efficiencies throughout the equipment lifecycle.

Heightened product quality

A best-in-class cutting performance to maintain and improve product quality. This is achieved with its enhanced software driver that works in tandem with the cutting head to adapt to actual fabric characteristics.

Stronger sustainability practices

An eco-friendly design decreases the manufacturing and transport related carbon emissions of the cutter. And its new energy efficient turbine cuts down idling time, lowering power consumption, to emphasize resource optimization and sustainable production methods.

Shorter lead times

A flexible and adaptive Industry 4.0-ready solution that harnesses the power of production data to streamline processes, reduce cycle times and empower manufacturers to accelerate time-to-market by responding faster to customer demands.

Increased employee productivity

An improved ergonomic maximizes operator efficiency and minimizes the risk of work-related injuries. This can lead to time savings and increased throughput.
