Zund wins award for its heat sealing module

Heat Sealing Module (HSM) of Zund significantly facilitates the processing and handling of dry fibre materials with thermoplastic content. At the recent CAMX 2022 (Composites and Advanced Materials Expo) in Anaheim, California, the HSM was recognised with an Unsurpassed Innovation Award. The American Composites Manufacturing Association (ACMA) proclaimed the HSM the winner of the ACE Award for Unsurpassed Innovation in the ‘Manufacturing: Equipment and Tooling’ category.

This award is presented annually to equipment, tooling, a production aid, or software designed to improve manufacturing production, environmental sustainability, or product quality and performance in composites manufacturing. Using hot air, the HSM seals the fabric along the cut path in advance of the Zünd Power Rotary Tool cutting it. Because of this sealing process, the cut can then be performed at full speed, in any direction, and produces both higher-quality parts and greater production efficiencies.
