Industrial strength cutting for the composites cutting room
Aeronaut cutting systems are used right across the composites world. The high cutting power of the Elektron chassis makes easy work of carbon, Kevlar, glass fibre, prepreg and dry fibre. We supply cutters, vacuum tables, debulking tables, cutting heads and machine vision wherever a reasonably priced, industrial strength cutter is needed.
Marine & recreational
Cut glass, carbon and core kits for hulls, decks, boards and sporting goods, with clean edges that don’t break up.
Aerospace & defence
Cut multi-ply prepreg and aramid plies accurately, with an optional high pressure axis for the toughest materials.
Transport
Produce consistent composite kits for vehicle panels and components, ready for just-in-time and lean manufacturing.

Elektron Mono WS Blade Cutter
Accurate, Powerful, Reliable and Designed to Cut the Widest Fabrics.
Mikron 2 Compact Cutting System
Twice the speed. Half the price.
Clean edges, consistent plies, less waste
A 28 mm rotary blade, or an 18 mm blade for detailed shapes, cuts almost any composite material without breaking up the edge the way reciprocating blades do. Add an optional high pressure axis to most Aeronaut cutters for twice the blade pressure on the toughest multi-ply prepreg.
Rotary blades, not reciprocating
Rotary blades leave a clean edge on carbon, glass and aramid, so plies lay up neatly with no frayed or broken fibres.
Double the pressure
The optional high pressure axis puts down twice the force on the blade, handling multi-ply prepreg that defeats lighter cutters.
Built for lean manufacturing
Compact, fast machines suit just-in-time and lean cutting rooms. Cut kits on demand, mark every ply and move straight to layup.
World-class software that delivers for now and the future
Tangent autonesting packs plies tightly to cut waste on costly carbon and prepreg, and can pay for a cutting system in months. Tangent’s cutter control is powerful and easy to use. Rapid patterning and CAD plug-ins shorten design-to-cut time, and inkjet printing adds ply numbers and reference marks to every piece.

Our Clients
We’ve worked with Aeronaut for over 24 years and have seen our capabilities grow alongside that time. We started with a single 20m x 4m plotting table, then added a second table as demand increased.
Frequently asked questions
Why rotary blades instead of reciprocating knives?
A 28 mm or 18 mm rotary blade cuts almost any composite material without breaking up the edge of the piece, which reciprocating blades tend to do.
Can Aeronaut cutters handle multi-ply prepreg?
Yes. The optional high pressure axis, available on most Aeronaut cutters, puts down twice the pressure on the blade for the toughest multi-ply prepreg.
Which machine suits a lean, just-in-time cutting room?
The Mikron 2. It is fast, economical, made in a range of sizes, and comes with two steered tools and a Cyclops camera as standard.
Do you supply debulking tables too?
Yes. Aeronaut supplies vacuum tables, debulking tables, cutting heads and machine vision as well as complete cutters.
