Sophisticated tear and abrasion resistant synthetic fabrics are being used in the manufacture of tents.
The range of materials has greatly increased as tent manufacturers strive to produce ever lighter, but durable tents and awnings.
Assyst Bullmer Ltd. manufactures a range of cutting machines that are precisely designed for the exacting task of cutting the complex shapes required for the manufacture of modern tent designs.
The materials used in this industry are light and strong and require a powerful vacuum table system to keep the material flat and level while the cutting operation is taking place.
Without a stable and strong cutting platform the material can easily wrinkle and bunch under the force of the blade, which leads to inaccuracies and loss of manufacturing tolerances in the shape of the cut panel.
Our vacuum tables are powerful enough that up to 15 plies can be cut simultaneously, greatly increasing production rates.
