AZCO Corp Announces New Enhancements to SUR-SIZE™ FG Series Cut-to-Length Modules

Fairfield, N.J., March 29, 2025 — AZCO Corp has unveiled major advancements to its industry-leading SUR-SIZE™ FG Series cut-to-length modules, tackling challenges in adhesive material processing while enhancing connectivity for modern manufacturing.

Game-Changing Upgrades for Adhesive Material Processing

Processing highly adhesive materials often leads to blade gumming, resulting in frequent maintenance, downtime and added costs. The upgraded FG Series addresses this challenge with an optional precision-based dispensing system that automatically applies lubricant to the lower blade during cutting, ensuring:

• Consistent cut quality, eliminating adhesive buildup on blades.
• Reduced maintenance, cutting up to 400 cycles per minute without frequent blade cleaning.
• Lower operational costs, extending blade life and minimizing downtime.

“Blade gumming has been a constant challenge for manufacturers working with laminations and adhesive materials,” says Andy Zucaro, Founder and President of AZCO Corp. “Our enhanced FG Series eliminates the need for blade maintenance and cleaning offering a major boost in productivity and efficiency.”

Seamless Industry 4.0 Integration with EtherCAT

To support smart manufacturing, AZCO has integrated EtherCAT control packages into the FG Series, enabling:

• Seamless communication with existing factory automation systems.
• Barcode scanning capabilities for improved traceability.
• Real-time data exchange to enhance production efficiency.

These enhancements reinforce AZCO’s commitment to innovation, building upon the FG Series’ proven performance for over 30 years in cutting films, foils, nonwoven fabrics, composites, laminates and other high-performance materials (1 to 38 inches wide).

Key Features of the SUR-SIZE™ FG Series

• Precision cutting: accuracy of ±0.38 mm (0.015 in.) or 0.09% of cut length.
• User-friendly touchscreen interface, simplifying setup and operation.
• Servo-driven nip rollers that ensure precise material control.
• Adjustable in-feed guides — perfect alignment for consistent cuts.
• Customizable configurations, tailored to meet specific production needs.

The enhanced SUR-SIZE™ FG Series is designed to increase productivity, minimize downtime, and improve operational efficiency.
