Now in full production mode at Curtis, the Dymatrix 142 CSB (cutting, stripping, and blanking model) with automatic pallet feeder continues to impress. “So far, it has met or exceeded all our expectations,” says John Giusto, senior vice president of manufacturing. For example, “The Dymatrix cuts from the top down, bringing the die to the sheet rather than bringing the sheet up to the die,” he explains, referring to the moving upper platen that enables the Dymatrix to maintain level sheet travel from feeder to delivery. The Dymatrix also runs quietly and vibration-free, even at speeds to 7,000 sph and beyond. “The scrap evacuation system makes more noise than the Dymatrix,” says Giusto.
