(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Lectra unveils FocusQuantum(®),
its next generation of airbag cutting solutions
Drawing on 30 years of experience, Lectra demonstrates
the innovative driving force it brings to the road safety value chain
Paris, December 3, 2015 - Lectra, the world leader in integrated technology
solutions dedicated to industries using soft materials-fabrics, leather,
technical textiles and composite materials-is pleased to announce the launch of
its new FocusQuantum(®) airbag cutting solutions.
Designed to enable suppliers to deliver airbags to carmakers on time, at the
right price, with the highest level of quality, FocusQuantum represents a major
breakthrough in airbag manufacturing. It enables fully streamlined operations
meeting the stringent requirements of the uncompromising airbag manufacturing
process. The zero-defect production made possible by the state-of-the-art laser
cutting solution allows road safety to be incorporated upstream in the value
chain through complete control over cutting quality.
FocusQuantum is a comprehensive airbag solution range, combining high-
performance laser cutters for both one-piece woven (OPW) and flat airbags, as
well as a purpose-built software suite and a full range of value-added
professional services covering implementation, change management and support, to
ensure operational excellence in the cutting room.
The FocusQuantum laser cutter range offers more than twice the productivity of
solutions currently on the market, together with unmatched precision and the
enhanced reliability of predictive maintenance, enabling a high level of
manufacturing excellence at an optimal cost per airbag. The ergonomically
designed solution optimizes material reloading and the gathering of cut parts
for even greater operational efficiency.
The solution's integrated software suite eliminates errors throughout the full
array of processes, from design through to cutting. Following the import of
design software data, intelligent wizards verify geometry dimensions and scale
factor before any airbag material is even cut. Potential defects-even those
invisible to the naked eye-are eliminated during the data analysis phase,
ensuring the integrity of each individual airbag. The FocusQuantum software
suite additionally ensures full traceability of operations by preventing
unauthorized changes to approved commands and processes.
"The grave nature of recent airbag inflator problems demonstrates the vital role
that airbag suppliers play in the automotive industry," states Daniel Harari,
Lectra CEO. "They have no other choice than to produce zero-defect quality. At
Lectra, we understand the pressure and challenges they face. This is why we have
worked closely with leading suppliers to develop and deliver our next generation
of airbag cutting solutions meeting the airbag industry's stringent standards.
We know how important it is for suppliers to be able to count on a capable,
reliable partner."
The FocusQuantum laser-cutters, software suite and full range of value-added
professional services will be available starting in January 2016.
