Arrow Reveal Cut
Look up in any classroom or corporate office and you ’ re bound to see acoustical ceiling tiles. Thousands of them — plenty of which had to be precisely cut to fit just right. That meant imprecisely measuring with a tape measure and cutting with a knife. Discards piled up and got dumped in the landfill. Arrow Fastener knew there had to be a better way. That’s where we come in.
Challenge Accepted
Arrow came to Motiv with a prototype that demonstrated their thinking, with the goal of improving it s functionality and ergonomics while making it cost effective to meet the production demand. In other words, make it more capable and less expensive. Our design and engineering teams studied the commonly used process without the tool and the new process with the prototype. With variables in tile materials, thickness, size, and required cutting profiles — could we design and engineer a single tool that could do it all efficiently, precisely , and consistently? We’re Motiv. We love a challenge.
Better in Every Way
Less than a year (and during Covid, no less) Motiv helped Arrow bring to market the most significant advancement in the history of ceiling tile cutting: The Arrow RevealCut ™ Workstation. Available in two sizes — one for 2 - foot tiles an d a larger version for 4 - foot tiles — the workstation cuts acoustical ceiling tile s with ease and efficiency. With just two passes of the integrated precision - cutting blade system, tiles can be cut to the exact size needed while simultaneously finishing the edge for effortless installation. All in about 30 seconds. No more freehand cuts. No slips. Zero mismeasurements. Just pure precision, jobsite safety , and material savings — cut after cut.
