By DE Editors

Soft material solutions provider Lectra has released Versalis Furniture. With this new range, furniture manufacturers can improve productivity by optimizing production cycles and maximizing the material savings, without compromising on the quality of cutting.

The Lectra teams have advanced knowledge on the specificities of leather and the corresponding types of production. The Versalis Furniture range includes four cutting solutions, which meet the specific needs of the furniture manufacturers different modes of production and adapt to their needs. This new range, consisting of a cutter with one or two cutting heads with mono-conveyor or multi-conveyors, a solution to analyze hides and a software suite to manage and optimize operations offers what the company calls "a perfect balance between the different stages of work, proof of an optimized production cycle."

The new very modular Versalis Furniture range covers 80 percent of the markets needs: sofas, seats, chairs and reclining chairs; entry-level, middle and high-end products; medium and mass production; very flexible to rigid leather (aniline, semi-aniline, nubuck, corrected pigmented, bicast and split leather). The last 20% is completed by the Lectras PLF Furniture offer, dedicated to cutting prototypes and small series.

The solution helps balance the stages of scanning, nesting, cutting and offloading, without slowing down or interrupting the cycle. The multi-conveyors or mono-conveyor solutions help maintain an optimum level of productivity and constant performance. Versalis Furniture incorporates a powerful automatic nesting solution to maximize the use of material, as well as a unique digitalization of the hides solution to treat so-called natural, particularly vulnerable leather cutting.

At each stage, the risk of error and associated costs is reduced by a constant automatic control of all production information, costing, analysis and process optimization.
