The range includes Cam-lock and bayonet mount quick-change tools, computer stands, fabric cradles and fabric feeding systems, fabric inspection light boxes, pens, markers, sign blades and pressurised ball point refills. It’s all the essential extras which you can get from Aeronaut which turn an automated cutter into the automated cutting system which works for you.
Aeronaut Cam-lock Quick-change Tool System
Cam-lock tools are a proprietary Aeronaut design, modelled on the tools used on metalworking CNC machines. They have many advantages over the basic bolt-on tools used on most competitive machines which can’t be considered quick-change.
Fast action
Cam-lock tools can be changed in seconds. The quarter turn fastening method is simple and reliable. Changing blade off the machine is quicker and safer. When high production speeds are essential, having two Cam-lock blade holders means one can be in use, while the blade is being changed on the other.
Attractive Design
Cam-lock tools come in nice colours. One NASA contractor bought two sets just because they liked the colours!
Versatility
Drill-punch tools can be fitted to any steered axis so you can easily use more than one punch size. Cam-lock tools effectively future-proof the machine. You can fit the tools you need for work in the future. Cam-lock tools all have the same geometry and blade angle so any tool can be fitted to any steered axis without changing settings.

Bayonet Mount Quick-change Tools
Bayonet tools effectively future-proof the machine. You can fit the tools you need for work in the future.
Bayonet tools are another Aeronaut innovation. Bayonet mounted tools are loaded from the top and locked in place with a quarter turn bayonet ring, similar to the way a lens locks in place on an SLR camera. Because bayonet tools load from above, larger static and powered tools can be carried.
Fits a large range of tools
This can fit static tools such as cutting and creasing tools can be carried. Electrically powered tools like powered rotary and reciprocating or oscillating knives can be fitted. Pneumatically powered tools like long stroke oscillating blade tools can be fitted. Ultrasonic cut and crease tools can be fitted.
Pneumatic plunge knives can be fitted. Where a drill-punch tool is required, it can be fitted on the front of the cutting head.
Suits cutting for range of industries
Aeronaut developed its range of bayonet mount tools initially to work with corrugated packaging, but if you can cut and crease cardboard, you can cut and crease fabric for window blinds can’t you? Well it turned out a bit more complicated than that but bayonet mounted tools for cut and creasing was the start of Aeronaut’s window furnishing machines.
Suits the Elektron Range
The Elektron B1 and Elektron B2 cutters used for packaging, ultrasonic cutting and sealing or textiles for window furnishings and cutting and sealing MLI for aerospace applications are just a few uses of bayonet tools.
