Overview of Common Tools

01. Tool Holders

Tool holders are essential for holding the cutting tools. They enable the tools to move up and down and rotate, driven by a motor. We offer several types:

Single Tool Holder: Holds one tool at a time.
Dual Tool Holder: Holds two tools simultaneously, allowing for combined cutting and additional processes like punching or creasing.
Coaxial Tool Holder: Allows for combined cutting and punching, bevel cutting, or creasing in one operation.

02. Oscillating Knife/Pneumatic Knife/400W High-Power Oscillating Tool

These tools use a blade that moves up and down at high frequency, making them ideal for cutting different-density materials. They are versatile and widely used across many industries.

03. Round Knife

The round knife tool uses a rapidly rotating blade to cut materials. It’s particularly effective for cutting textiles and fabrics, offering clean and precise cuts.

04. Punching Tool

This tool is used for creating holes in materials. It operates with a high-speed rotating spindle and a cylinder that moves the spindle up and down, allowing the punch to perforate the material accurately.

05. Creasing Wheel

A creasing wheel is used to create creases on materials, which is especially useful in packaging applications. It works by rolling a circular wheel over the material to make a fold line.

06. Bevel Cutting Tool

The bevel cutting tool is used for cutting V-shaped grooves by adjusting the blade’s angle. This is particularly useful in industries that require precise angled cuts, such as packaging and interior design.

07. Pen Tool

The pen tool is used to draw alignment marks for stitching or other processes. It ensures accuracy in subsequent steps, especially in textile and apparel industries.

08. Half-Cut Knife

This knife is designed for half-cutting adhesive materials like stickers, ensuring that only the top layer is cut while leaving the backing intact.

09. Milling Tool

The milling tool is ideal for cutting materials with higher hardness. It’s commonly used in industries that require the cutting of tough materials like composites or dense foams.
