POLYCARBONATE CUTTING MACHINES
Machine Capabilities
The Polycut is a CNC Machine designed specifically for cut-to-size Multiwall Polycarbonate Sheet such as Lexan Thermoclear, Sunlite, Macrolux, Makrolon Multi, Correx and any other brand.
Benefits
- The machine is not a wall saw. It uses a blade rather than a rotating saw to cut the Multiwall Polycarbonate. This means that no dust or swarf is created, eliminating the need to blow out the dust from the flutes
- High speed cutting combined with the elimination of cleaning means that you can cut more sheets per day than using conventional saws.
- Two modes of operation:
- Quick horizontal and vertical cutting of the stock sheets, controlled from the machine
- Optimisation of jobs to be cut can be done in advance, minimising wastage
- Reliable, efficient and very cost effective
- Cuts any multiwall polycarbonate sheet size up to 2.1m x 7m
- Cuts multiwall polycarbonate sheets between 4mm and 40mm thick
- Fully CNC controlled – No more measuring mistakes by operator
- Vertically mounted bed ensure minimum factory floor space is needed
Features
- Solid, one piece welded frame ensures accurate positioning and cutting
- Zoned Vacuum System on bed ensuring maximum suction on sheets
- Positioning Accuracy of +/- 0.05%
- Siemens Control system via a Touch Screen, which can be connected to your network
- Specially designed knife for long life and quick changing knife holder
- Bespoke optimisation software to minimise waste
- Laser scanner zone for safety protection
- Onboard diagnostics and remote access for training and support available
- Can be installed and commissioned in 1 day
