With our excellent reputation built into every machine, you can rest assured knowing you’re not just buying a product — you’re partnering with a team dedicated to your productivity and performance.
Present Day1000+ automated systems installed worldwide and tens of thousands of manual machines in over 100 countries.
The Eastman Eagle C135 conveyor system boasts supreme capabilities for single- to low-ply cutting requirements. It has the ability to continuously convey rolled material goods with consistent speed and control. Eastman’s gantry and tool head design are engineered to cut the most diverse technical and industrial fabrics available, while exceeding industry standards for accuracy.
The robust conveyor design delivers unrivaled levels of material utilization and is often capable of cutting multiple layers without plastic overlay. This computer-controlled cutting system requires minimal operator guidance to automatically feed and spread material to the identified start position. The C135 offers tremendous efficiency when cutting pattern pieces that exceed the table length. The exclusive InMotion™ software enables the machine to continuously cut while conveying.
Available in a range of widths, lengths and various tool head accessory options, the C135 will be built to match your application needs, allowing you to customize the tools and capabilities to maximize productivity.

EASTMAN S135 Static Table Cutting SystemSingle- to low-ply precision cutting, marking, and punching of any flexible material with Eastman’s S135 static table. Multiple cutting surfaces are available to suit various cutting applications.
S135 – Static Table System
Eastman’s static table system is capable of cutting, marking and punching virtually any flexible material at speeds of up to 60 inches per second (152.4 cm/sec.). The static cutting table has proven itself as the go-to resource for materials like cotton, nylon and vinyl as well as difficult-to-cut materials—such as polystrand, p-tex, and fiberglass-polyester blends.
The system’s high-precision configuration features multi-axis motion for more defined and accurate cuts. Material is spread across the static table by an operator or with the use of a pneumatic gripper bar. The open plenum vacuum system design ensures evenly dispersed airflow for optimal material hold-down. This computer-controlled system features zoning capabilities to enable cutting in one area while the operator is simultaneously picking parts in another, maximizing daily production capacity.
The static table system is available in a range of system lengths and widths to meet the demands for prototypes, one-offs and full-production runs.
