Summa launches new F Series Vantage at FESPA Barcelona
20 May 2026
Launched today at FESPA Barcelona, Summa says the new F Series Vantage marks the next evolution in flatbed cutting. It says the F Series Vantage is made to accelerate every stage of the workflow, combining enhanced cutting speeds with intelligent automation to deliver the ultimate operator-friendly experience. Its open, modular architecture ensures seamless integration into existing production environments, offering maximum flexibility and compatibility, and a powerful series of flatbed cutters.
Promising 40% productivity gains, the F Series Vantage is touted to transform the finishing workflow thanks to automation that anticipates errors before they happen, an open ecosystem and the widest tool library the company says it has created. “We worked closely with customers and partners to understand their biggest challenges, which came down to preserving margins amidst rising costs, seizing new business opportunities and keeping safety a non-negotiable in the workshop,” says Geert Pierloot, Managing Director at Summa. “That’s why we designed the F Series Vantage to keep your operation moving and empowering operators. It’s the easiest flatbed we have ever made to install, and it’s more intuitive to use than ever. Anyone can master this flatbed in under one hour, thanks to the ease of use and the GoProduce software.”
Sign & display businesses seeking growth beyond their core activity into new, often rigid, materials such as aluminium. Our new F Series, with its incredibly wide tool library featuring the new High-frequency 3.7kW router, Fast+ & Core+ tangential modules, and Rigid material & High-precision cutout tools, answers that vision for you through the promise of unmatched material versatility.
Speed improvements run deeper than tooling alone. New motion control, unique blade recognition, and a new media thickness sensor accelerate every stage —from setup to execution—the result: cleaner edges, fewer tool swaps, and a workflow that feels effortless.
“Everything about the F Series Vantage is built for speed and flow,” says Randi Kerkaert, Summa’s Product Manager. “Every choice, from firmware architecture to tool design, eliminates friction. The result is a system that moves faster across the entire finishing process, delivering the quickest ROI imaginable. Paired with one-click Action Sets and the new LED feedback strip, it offers precision without interruption.” That same philosophy extends to safety: with most shopfloor incidents caused by contact with moving machinery, the F Series’ safety ecosystem is designed to be non-negotiable and impossible to bypass, protecting operators while also minimising downtime and ensuring production keeps running at peak performance.
Summa says the F Series Vantage integrates seamlessly into any production environment, with no lock-ins or closed systems.
“Integration is everything,” said Kristof Tilleman, Software Development Manager at Summa. “With GoConnect and GoData, the F Series Vantage becomes a part of your ecosystem, open to any feeder or stacker. Automation, analytics, and predictive insights are now a certainty. With a Summa in your workflow, you’re assured always to be ready for whatever the future may hold for your business.”
The F Series Vantage is available in 1612 and 1625 models and will be showcased throughout FESPA Barcelona.
