OSCILLATING KNIFE UNIT

Our MasterCut and Genesis ranges can carry an oscillating blade. Unlike a fixed blade this moves like a pendulum and can cut softer materials, which would clog or deform a standard blade. The knife unit moves at a speed of 2,000 cutting strokes a minute and has a maximum cutting depth of 50mm (2 inches). Applications include replacing the cutting of polystyrene sheets by hand or with hot-wire tools. Instead, our vacuum bed machines hold the sheets in place while the automated knife unit cuts. This ensures there is no tearing of the granules. Combining this improved cutting with our software solutions, such as programmes to use common cutting lines, can reduce wastage and make processes more efficiently.
