BIAS CUTTING SYSTEM

VECTOR is the next generation of bias cutting systems presented by Spadone.  Designed for speed, accuracy and the highest degree of flexibility, they are capable of producing bias-cut materials from 90° to less than 8°.  Whether your business is tires, conveyor belts, power transmission components, or any other product requiring reinforced, bias-cut material, we have you covered.

NO APPLICATION IT CAN'T HANDLE.

TRACKS

VECTOR bias cutting systems are designed to quickly and accurately convert calendered master rolls into belt and ply material for use in a variety of products.  We realize that every application and production environment is unique, so flexibility and customization are at the core of what we offer our customers.  We design systems to accommodate a wide range of technical and production requirements, including any configuration and level of automation.  Cutting angles can range from less than 8° to 90°.  Manual splicing is possible, as are a host of automated-splicing solutions, including the use of robotics.  We pride ourselves on being able to offer the lowest angles (<8°) and longest cuts (>25ft or 7.6m) in the industry.  We have yet to reach the limits of what is possible, however, and look forward to additional challenges!
