Best in class digitising and pattern alignment software
Aeronaut’s Machine Vision Systems – SiliconEye and Cylops, give your cutter a watchful eye on your cutting table and what’s under the cutting head. They’re used for a range of tasks like digitising and pattern alignment which are impossible without machine vision.
Time Saving
Nest hundreds of patterns in under 10 seconds. Set a slightly longer nesting time and you’ll get a few percent better fabric savings.
Save Fabric
If your business cuts two or three tables an hour of fabric that costs over $100 per metre and you save 300-400mm of fabric per table, that’s over $800 per shift saved.
Data Saving
Pattern structure is retained after autonesting so can expect the same results however you nest.
Find The Right Machine Vision Product For Your Cutting Machine
Cyclops
A gantry-mounted vision system that gives a live feed under the cutting head, letting operators precisely align patterns and material just before cutting.

SiliconEye
This vision system is the answer to interactive nesting, nesting into irregular shapes, pattern matching, pattern recognition, image tracing and alignment with registration marks.

Complete Control Across the Entire Workflow
Built in-house to run Aeronaut cutting systems, this software is shaped by decades of hands-on production experience and not retrofitted from general CAD platforms.
The result is a more efficient workflow with less complexity and reduced material waste.
With World Class Support
With in-house development and decades of production experience, Aeronaut provides software support that goes beyond troubleshooting, helping optimise workflows, improve efficiency and maintain consistent results.

Comprehensive Operator Training on software
Structured, hands-on training equips operators with the skills to maximise performance, accuracy and productivity from day one.

Advice on workflow improvements
Support isn’t limited to “how the software works”. It includes guidance on Nesting efficiency, Workflow improvements, Material handling and more.

Continuous updates and improvements
Get updates to software to improve performance, add features and maintain compatibility with evolving systems. This means your software stays relevant and efficient over time, not outdated.

With the Aeronaut cutter performing three times faster than hand cutting, the company had to put on two extra full-time machinists, as well as one casual, to keep up.
Frequently asked questions
Machine Vision Software FAQ?
The first decision to make is whether you need a high ply or a low ply cutter. Aeronaut only makes low ply and single ply cutters. As a generalisation, high ply cutters are used for high volume, low cost goods such as garments and upholstery where high accuracy is not required. Low and single ply cutters are used for high-value, lower volume goods where greater cutting accuracy is needed. Low ply cutters can perform tasks such as marking, creasing, scoring, sanding and buffing which are not possible with high ply cutters or conveyor tables.
Low ply cutters are actually used for both low and high volume production, but are perhaps more suited to industries where high accuracy is required, and short runs, just-in-time production or one-offs are made.Our customers do cut multiple layers where the job demands it, but typically, most Aeronaut cutters only cut one layer of material at a time, which can be up to 20 mm in thickness.
