1. What Is an Oscillating Knife Cutting Machine?
An oscillating knife cutting machine is a CNC-controlled cutting system designed to handle non-metallic materials with exceptional precision and efficiency. It uses a blade that vibrates (oscillates) rapidly up and down to cut materials cleanly without generating heat, making it ideal for sensitive and diverse materials.
2. How Does the Machine Work?
The machine follows these steps:
- Program Creation:
Using software like CAD, cutting paths and parameters are designed. - Program Input:
The cutting file is uploaded to the machine’s CNC system. - Automated Cutting:
The CNC system guides the blade to cut according to the program, ensuring precise cuts every time.
The process is fully automated, reducing manual effort while maintaining consistent quality.
3. What Types of Tools Does It Support?
AMOR CNC machines come with a modular quick-change tool system that allows you to switch tools easily based on material and cutting needs. Tool options include:
- Oscillating Knife: For thick or soft materials like foam, rubber, and cardboard.
- Pneumatic Oscillating Knife: For denser materials like rubber sheets or composites.
- Drag Knife: For fine contours and intricate shapes.
- Bevel Knife: For angled cuts, perfect for 3D assembly.
- Creasing Wheel: For creating smooth fold lines on cardboard and paper.
- Half-Cut Knife: For cutting adhesive-backed materials without damaging the liner.
- Milling Cutter: For harder materials requiring engraving or deeper cuts.
- Marking Pen: For labeling or guiding marks directly on the material.
4. What Materials Can It Cut?
The versatility of the AMOR CNC oscillating knife cutting machine makes it suitable for a wide range of materials, such as:
- Foam: EVA, EPE, and other flexible foams.
- Rubber: Neoprene, silicone, and non-asbestos sheets.
- Cardboard: Corrugated and honeycomb structures.
- Leather and Fabrics: For shoes, bags, and furniture production.
- Composites: Graphite sheets, PTFE, and fiberglass.
- Plastics: Acrylics, PVC sheets, and similar materials.
This machine adapts to the needs of industries like packaging, furniture, automotive, and sealing gaskets.
