_______ Technology for a wide range of materials | Why choose vibratory knife cutting? | Performance and reliability at the heart of our machines A few years ago, KMSYSTEM thought bigger. After offering 100% French CNC machining solutions, mainly for the shape industry, we expanded our expertise to include digital cutting with vibrating knives. But what kind of cutting are we talking about? A technology adapted to a wide range of materials Our vibrating knife CNC machines enable three main types of cutting, depending on the materials used: 🔹 Cutting foam - of varying density and rigidity, up to 110 mm thick 🔹 Cutting of leather or textiles - soft or stiffer 🔹 Cutting of composite materials - such as woven, prepreg or technical multilayer layers. Our technology adapts to a wide variety of materials, even complex ones, with varying thicknesses. Depending on your needs, we offer machines equipped with knives up to 112 mm in length. Why choose vibratory knife cutting? The vibrating knife works by means of high-frequency oscillation, generating thousands of micro-movements per minute. This principle enables : Greater precision Exceptional cutting finesse Reduced burrs Ability to work cleanly on fragile or composite materials Depending on your application, you can adapt the blade type, length, weight and geometry to guarantee optimum results. Performance and reliability at the heart of our machines Our equipment is designed to combine high cutting speeds to reduce production times, consistent precision to guarantee quality results, an intuitive interface for ease of use, and responsive technical support, made possible by our 100% in-house development. KMSYSTEM's CNC vibrating knife cutting system offers versatility, precision and industrial performance in a single piece of equipment, designed and developed in-house, in France.

Introduction | Brushless motor (BLDC) | Stepper motor | Our choice at KMSYSTEM | Contact us At KMSYSTEM, we develop all our machines in-house, from A to Z. After extensive research and testing in real-life conditions, we chose a combination of Brushless and Stepper motors for our cnc machines, each tailored to a specific application. Here's why! Our cnc machines are designed to meet both simple needs and specific requirements, sometimes necessitating an entirely bespoke design. This versatility enables us to operate in a wide variety of sectors, sometimes with very strict requirements in terms of precision, repeatability and finishing. With this in mind, the choice of motorization is crucial. There were two main technologies to choose from: Brushless motors, renowned for their efficiency, reliability and high-speed performance. Stepper motors, appreciated for their ease of operation and precision at low speeds. Each of these solutions offers specific advantages for certain applications. Here's a comparative overview. machine_cnc_motor_brushless_kmsystem Brushless motors (BLDC) for cnc machines Brushless motors offer improved energy efficiency, reducing energy consumption by up to 15 times compared with conventional motors. The absence of brushes eliminates mechanical wear due to friction, increasing reliability and reducing maintenance requirements. They maintain high efficiency and constant torque at both low and high speeds. Their compact size makes them easy to integrate in confined spaces, making them perfectly suited to our custom-built machines. Stepper motors for cnc machines Stepper motors offer precise motion control, allowing incremental movements without the need for position sensors. These motors can be precisely controlled to achieve the desired motion and positioning. Combined with suitable microcontrollers and drivers, they offer excellent open-loop control. Stepper motors perform well at low speeds, but can lose efficiency at high speeds. They consume energy only when they are actively moving or generating torque, thus reducing overall energy consumption. machine_cnc_motor_brushless_kmsystem Our choice at KMSYSTEM At KMSYSTEM, our priority is to guarantee performance, precision and reliability on all our CNC machines. That's why we've opted for a combination of two technologies: Brushless motors on the X, Y and Z linear axes, to guarantee high travel speed, constant precision and responsiveness, even on long or complex strokes. Stepper motors with encoders on rotary axes (4ᵉ and 5ᵉ axes), which offer an excellent compromise between positioning accuracy, simplicity of control and safety, notably thanks to loss-of-step detection. This hybrid choice enables us to offer machines that are both high-performance, adaptable and robust, capable of responding to the most varied applications - from simple machining to the manufacture of complex technical parts.

How does it work? | Advantages | Why invest? | Expertise Made in France | Contact A CNC (computer numerical control) machine is a computer-controlled production tool. It can be used to machine, cut, engrave, or drill various materials—wood, foam, plastic, textiles, composites—with extreme precision. All of the machine's movements are dictated by a digital program: a G-code file. How does it work? The principle is based on the use of digital plans (CAD/CAM) translated into machine language (G-code). This code controls the motors, axes, and tools to perform the desired movements. At KMSYSTEM, the KMShape V5 software, developed in-house, allows you to load these programs, configure the parameters, and supervise the entire machining cycle. The interface is simple, intuitive, and compatible with all G-code files. Key advantages: Precision: Tolerances of a few microns are possible. Speed of execution: Accelerated production compared to manual methods. Repeatability: Each part produced is identical to the previous one. Safety: Less human intervention in critical operations. Flexibility: Quick change of series or format, easy customization. Why invest in a CNC? A CNC is a lever for competitiveness. You improve the quality of your products, reduce your subcontracting costs, optimize your materials, and speed up your delivery times. It is also a strategic choice: you internalize critical operations and gain autonomy and responsiveness to your customers.
