Zünd G3 – perfection is in the details
Zünd cutters are high-precision machines. All components – from drive system to cutting blade – are designed and manufactured to work together perfectly. This lets you produce efficiently and wow your customers with perfect results.
Define which functions your G3 cutter has to perform and configure your modular Zünd tooling accordingly.
Quick, precise, time-saving: The setup for knives, router bits, and creasing wheels occurs through a fully automatic initialization system. Manual adjustments for determining proper cutting depths are no longer necessary. The ITI Initialization System makes the process quick and precise.
Energy-efficient vacuum turbines ensure reliable material hold-down during the cutting process. The vacuum area is divided into zones, which can be switched on and off individually across the width of the machine.
On a G3 cutting system, you can process materials up to a thickness of 110 mm/4.3 in. Depending on your requirements, the G3 can be configured with a beam height of 60 or 120 mm/1, 2 or 4 in. This means more flexibility and versatility in your production workflow.
The automatic router bit/tool changer ARC dramatically reduces set-up times and simplifies tool handling. The magazine can accommodate up to eight different cutting, polishing, or engraving bits. The bits needed for processing are automatically removed, clamped, initialized, and cleaned after each use. The ITI initialization system checks the zero point after each tool change, ensuring perfectly consistent routing depths.

Modular, flexible, and adaptable high-performance modules
The right modules & tools for every application.
Low-maintenance tool for single-ply cutting of glass and carbon fiber as well as technical textiles.
Non-motor-driven tool for using Zünd HSS rotary blades (ø 28 mm/1.1 in) on a PU cutting underlay. The Wheel Knife Tool is an efficient, cost-effective tool option for single-ply cutting of glass and carbon fiber as well as technical textiles. The use of HSS steel blades in this tool allows for very high processing speeds and a clean, efficient cutting process.
Cutting is done in pressure mode. The pressure settings can be adjusted to precisely match the material properties and desired cut quality. A special PU (polyurethane) underlay is used in conjunction with this tool to prevent damaging the cutting surface.
- High cutting speeds
- Uses rotary, high-speed steel blades (HSS)
- Processing is possible without vacuum hold-down
- Clean, efficient cutting process
- Special polyurethane cutting underlay
- Compatible with G3, D3

and much more
Cost-effective routing and engraving tool.
At the heart of the URT is a 300 W router spindle which operates at up to 80,000 rpm, depending on material and application. The URT is the perfect tool for easy routing jobs and for engraving a wide range of materials.
The URT can easily be converted from a router to an engraving tool. In engraving mode, the height of the tool can be precisely adjusted with a micrometer screw. This ensures precision engraving, with consistent line widths and depths.
The airflow from the well-designed dust-extraction system effectively cools both the router bit and spindle, which significantly increases their longevity.
- Routing and engraving with one tool
- Consistent, precise control of routing depth
- 300 Watt router bit spindle with up to 80,000 rpm
- Stepless adjustable speed
- Wide assortment of Zünd router bits available
- Compatible with G3, S3, L3, D3
G3 Modular material-handling solutions
Optimize your production workflow with tandem operation. Loading and unloading occur while production is ongoing. While the operator loads material on one side, the cutter continues operating on the other. This eliminates idle time and increases productivity.
Industrial-level manufacturing using highly automated production lines - with the BHS150 Board Handling System, you can produce around the clock while keeping personnel requirements to a minimum. The combination of 1.5m stack height, high production speeds, and extremely short set-up times leads to considerable increases in productivity and profitability.
With the unique combination of automated material handling and high-performance digital cutting, you can extend production beyond normal business hours. Personnel requirements are limited to loading and unloading the stacked pallets.
Zünd has a great deal of experience in material-handling solutions for flexible, rolled materials. Our product range offers the perfect roll-off device for your cutting system, no matter how challenging the rolled material may be.
Thanks to its robust construction and drive system, the Center Winder can handle rolls up to 100kg/220 lbs, both for unwinding and rewinding. Well-designed mechanics ensure consistent material tension. Fabrics can be fed onto the cutting system without creases or distortions.
Boards are manually placed on the rear cutter extension using a sheet-positioning device.
