When cnc machine gliding become saddlery

A long-standing specialist in machining centres dedicated to shape and water sports, KMSYSTEM has continued to refine its expertise over the decades. Today more seasoned than ever, we apply our mastery of technical materials to other sectors, with a simple philosophy: every industrial challenge is an opportunity for innovation. This is how our marine technologies have naturally found their place in the world of equestrian saddlery.

Two innovations born facing the ocean To meet the requirements of surfboard and boat manufacturers, we have developed two major technologies in our workshops:

• The pin milling cutter: Designed specifically for machining, it allows you to machine and sculpt foam blocks (EPS, XPS) at high speed, with a flawless finish and without tearing the material.

• The high-frequency vibrating knife: Originally developed for the marine sector, this tool is ideal for shearing dry technical fabrics such as glass fibre and carbon fibre.

The perfect adaptation to the equestrian world When a major player in horse riding challenged us to modernize the cutting of horse saddles, the answer was already in our workshop. Saddlery is a world that requires flexibility, attention to detail, and precision. We have therefore merged our technologies: The pin cutter has proven to be the ideal tool for 3D machining of quarter foams, ensuring ergonomics for both rider and horse morphology. At the same time, our vibrating knife has been calibrated to cut through thicker leathers and dense foam fillings.

Today

We now offer our famous cnc machine "Double Z" hybrid machines, capable of integrating these two technologies simultaneously. Still specialists in board sports, we are extremely proud to equip today’s craftsmen and craftswomen saddlers with French machines that respect their know-how and materials, while boosting their productivity.
