If you are a user of ZUND S-series digital cutting machines, you undoubtedly understand the critical importance of equipment precision and stability for production efficiency. In the pursuit of perfect cutting results, one often overlooked yet crucial component is the conveyor belt—more specifically, the felt conveyor belt designed specifically for ZUND.

Why do ZUND cutters require specialized felt conveyor belts?

ZUND cutters are renowned for their powerful versatility and exceptional precision, capable of processing diverse materials ranging from soft fabrics and composites to rigid acrylic. Throughout this process, the conveyor belt fulfills multiple critical roles:

Superior Material Grip: The felt surface possesses micro-friction that firmly “grips” the material being cut (such as leather, carbon fiber, foam, etc.), preventing it from shifting during the cutting process. This is crucial for high-precision contour cutting and engraving, eliminating material waste.

Self-Healing and Durability: High-quality felt exhibits a certain degree of “self-healing” properties. When pierced by sharp blades, the fibers shift and close rather than being permanently severed. This prevents rapid perforation of the belt surface, maintaining long-term flatness and ensuring consistent cutting depth with every pass.

Protection for Machine Surfaces: It acts as a robust barrier, preventing over-cutting damage to precision vacuum-adhesion surfaces and reducing potential repair costs.
