Zünd is set to showcase how integrating cutting data and material handling improves composite-cutting performance at JEC World 2026, scheduled to take place from March 10-12 at Paris Nord Villepinte, Paris. Centrepiece of the Zünd exhibit is a fully integrated production cell that demonstrates how composite-part manufacturing can be digitised, automated, and scaled to an industrial level. The demonstration will focus on measurable improvements throughout the value chain: optimised use of materials, reduced waste and lower quality-related costs, fewer manual steps, and more structured parts handling, all in one highly user-friendly system.
The production cell consists of a Zünd G3 cutter, a ProWinder Vision from material-handling partner CNM, and software solutions from Zünd and its software partner Jetcam. It illustrates how an end-to-end digital workflow makes cutting prepreg and other composites more efficient. Zünd is also presenting a new optional belt-cleaning feature that keeps the conveyor belt clean by reliably removing loose fibres, lint, and other residues. In addition, a new labelling module is used to mark cut parts. It enables tracking parts and provides unique part identification for downstream logistics while also supporting the kitting process (sorting, grouping, and sequencing).
