Description

Updated hot wire cutter for polystyrene

The Double Cut hot wire cutting machine by Nettuno Sistemi is positioned as an advanced and highly efficient solution for cutting foam. Thanks to its simultaneous double cut system, which uses two hot wires to cut on both sides of the material, this technology allows precise cuts to be made in less time, optimising productivity.

Designed specifically to work with various types of foam such as expanded polystyrene (EPS) and extruded (XPS), the Double Cut is an essential tool for those looking for precision and speed in their projects. By offering total control over wire temperature and cutting speed, it guarantees high quality results, avoiding deformations or errors in the material.

Key details

Double Cut: The main feature of the Double Cut is that it uses two hot wires to cut simultaneously on both sides, making it easy to create complex shapes in a single pass.
Versatility: It is designed to cut various types of foam, such as expanded polystyrene (EPS), extruded polystyrene (XPS), and other lightweight materials used in the manufacture of scenery, architectural elements, packaging and more.
Efficiency: Simultaneous cutting reduces labour time and improves efficiency, especially when producing mass-produced parts or projects requiring high precision.
Control and precision: The machine is equipped with control systems that allow the wire temperature and cutting speed to be adjusted, ensuring clean, detailed work without melting or deforming the material.

Precision

The Double Cut CNC hot wire cutter is equipped with two wires that are positioned orthogonally and operate on independent axes, controlled by a single knob. This design allows the workpiece to be held in its initial position without the need to move it, providing high cutting accuracy and significant time savings.

With 8 independent axes and a vertical turntable, the Double Cut excels at complex tasks. Cutting polystyrene with hot wire is quick and easy thanks to Nettuno's software, which manages all the cutting phases through an intuitive and user-friendly interface.

The Nettuno Sistemi Double Cut hot wire cutting machine has a wide range of applications, especially in industries that require precision and efficiency in cutting materials such as polystyrene foam (EPS and XPS). Some of its main applications are:

Scenography and scenery: Ideal for creating detailed and precise scenery for theatrical productions, film, television and events, as it allows complex shapes to be cut quickly.
3D figure modelling: Used for making three-dimensional figures, sculptures and artistic elements in foam, thanks to its ability to make fine, symmetrical cuts.
Architecture and construction: Very useful for the creation of mouldings, decorative panels, architectural elements and insulating parts for constructions, providing clean and professional finishes.
Custom packaging: Allows you to design and cut custom foam packaging to protect fragile or delicate products, offering a customised and high quality solution for the packaging industry.
Advertising and signage: Used to create letters, logos and volumetric foam structures for events, trade fairs and advertising campaigns.
Industrial prototyping: Facilitates the development of prototypes in industry, allowing designers and engineers to test and refine their ideas prior to final production.

The Nettuno software instantly acquires the position of both wires during the entire process, ensuring that a collision between them never occurs.

Despite having two working planes, the two cutting wires are managed by a single control, ensuring the interconnection of the entire CNC machine system.

The open structure of the Double Cut, made of anodised aluminium profiles, allows the material to be placed on the work surface without structural restrictions, providing total freedom of movement.

By not needing to move the workpiece during the cutting process and thanks to the ability to perform simultaneous cuts, the Double Cut optimises production time, which is especially useful in labour-intensive or mass production environments.

The Nettuno software continuously monitors the position of the wires to avoid collisions, ensuring the safety of the cutting process and reducing errors. It is designed to be easy to use, even for non-technical users. This streamlines the process of setting up and managing the cutting process, allowing operators to work more efficiently.
