FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Lectra empowers airbag cushion suppliers with the flexibility to scale up their
manufacturing footprint
FocusQuantum(®) range expands with upgradeable laser cutter for multi-ply fabric
Paris, April 4, 2016 - Lectra, the world leader in integrated technology
solutions dedicated to industries using fabrics, leather, technical textiles and
composite materials, satisfies automotive suppliers' need to meet fluctuating
demand with a newly expanded range of FocusQuantum, the state-of-the-art laser
airbag cutters already implemented by market-leading airbag cushion suppliers
worldwide, such as Dual, GST, HMT, Key Safety Systems, Kolon and Sumisho.
FocusQuantum FT3K-Lectra's accessible new version of its laser cutting solution
for multi-ply airbag fabric-is designed to help airbag cushion suppliers seize
new business opportunities by lowering their overall manufacturing costs.
Featuring a single cutting head and 3 kW laser source, the new model places the
solution's advanced technology within the reach of a greater number of
manufacturers.
FocusQuantum FT3K also offers the possibility of satisfying increased production
volumes with an on-site upgrade. The more powerful configuration features a
second 3 kW laser source and second cutting head for an increase in productivity
of up to 65% without the need to build new facilities or expand an existing
plant. Upon completion of the upgrade, airbag suppliers benefit from precisely
the same functionality and performance of FocusQuantum FT3K's top-of-the-line
counterpart, FocusQuantum FT6K.
The automotive airbag market is currently growing at a rate of 8-9% per year, as
the supplier ecosystem continues to reorganize. To remain competitive, many
automotive suppliers are re-evaluating their manufacturing footprint. Although
they must ensure that their manufacturing sites are robust enough to meet
fluctuations in demand, suppliers must also rationalize their capital
expenditures.
By opening access to the high performance and capacity of integrated airbag
cutting solution FocusQuantum-comprising advanced cutting preparation software
and value-added consulting expertise-Lectra enables suppliers to immediately
address new business opportunities while also laying the foundation for an
expanded manufacturing footprint. The redesigned FocusQuantum range for multi-
ply fabric also includes all-new versions of FocusQuantum Suite cutting
preparation software and FocusQuantum pilot cutting software compatible with the
revised equipment models.
"Having the production capacity to meet growing demand is an absolute necessity
to stay in the game," observes Céline Choussy Bedouet, Chief Marketing and
Communications Officer, Lectra. "That is why Lectra has expanded its multi-ply
fabric cutting range, providing automotive airbag suppliers with the flexibility
to scale up production and maintain their position on a continually evolving
market."
