Description

Polystyrene hot wire cutting machine

The hot wire cutter PLOT 250 of the √SQR series is the ideal combination for those who need high outputs but do not have enough space. With a cutting area of X 1,210 mm Y 2,500 mm Z (wire) 2,000 mm it makes it possible to carry out production exploitation of all sides of the cut material. In fact, it can easily cut standard blocks available on the market whose size is approximately 1,000 mm x 1,200 mm x 2,000 mm.

Thus, the user will decide whether to make cuts with extrusion equal to the full length of any side of the block, depending on his need and not on the cutting limit of the system. The PLOT 250 hot wire cutter is already equipped with the four independent axes system.

Main features

High precision CNC technology: The PLOT250 is equipped with a computer numerical control (CNC) system that allows detailed and complex cuts to be made with total precision and repetitively, reducing the margin of error and optimising production time.
High performance hot wire: The machine uses a hot wire that cuts through foam smoothly and without friction, achieving clean, even edges. This is especially useful for creating complex shapes and intricate details in a variety of materials, such as expanded polystyrene (EPS), extruded (XPS), and other types of foam.
Compatibility with different thicknesses and sizes of materials: The PLOT250 is designed to work with foam blocks of different thicknesses and dimensions, offering flexibility in terms of the type of projects that can be completed.
Easy to operate and program: The cutter is integrated with intuitive software, allowing users to import designs from various CAD programs or create their own models. This makes it easy to customise and adapt to the specifications of each project.

Highlights

Sturdy structure

Plot250 features a strong and rigid structure, meticulously crafted with high quality components. The entire frame is made of powder-coated steel, ensuring durability and reliability. To maintain precision and accuracy during cutting operations, the Plot250 uses linear recirculating ball guides for the X-Y axes. This ensures smooth and precise movement, resulting in high quality cuts for foam shapes. With its robust construction and advanced features, the Plot250 offers exceptional performance for a wide range of cutting tasks.

Sliding rollers

The CNC foam cutting plotter is equipped with two sliding rollers for easy loading of expanded polystyrene blocks onto the board.

Open frame structure

The machine is designed with an open frame structure, which gives it a remarkable level of versatility. This design feature makes the process of loading and unloading complete blocks of expanded polystyrene much more convenient. The strength and reliability of the Plot250 structure is guaranteed by its powder coated painted steel construction. This choice of material guarantees durability and longevity, making the Plot250 a reliable investment for its users.

Applications

Thanks to its technical capabilities, the PLOT250 is ideal for a wide range of applications, such as:

Decorative elements: It is perfect for the production of cornices, columns, capitals and other architectural details. It can also produce sculptures and ornamental elements with precision, making it a popular tool in the decoration and scenography sector.
3D lettering and logos: Its ability to create volumetric lettering and logos makes it very useful for the production of 3D signage, commercial signage and advertising designs.
Set design projects: The PLOT250 is widely used in the design of sets and structures for film, television, theatre and events, enabling large, complex shapes to be created with ease.
Custom prototypes and packaging: It is also excellent for the creation of prototypes and custom packaging, both for product protection during transport and for promotional purposes.

Fields of application

PLOT250 excels in the following sectors:

Construction and building: Creation of architectural elements such as mouldings and insulating panels for facades or interiors.
Window and door manufacturing: Production of thermal insulation or decorative parts.
Thermal insulation and energy efficiency: Production of expanded polystyrene insulation panels (EPS) for homes and buildings to reduce energy consumption.
Interior and exterior decoration: Creation of decorative pieces for residential, commercial and industrial projects.
Events and scenography: Design and production of customised sets for events, shop windows and film or theatre productions.
Green energy: Manufacture of components for renewable energy projects, such as thermal insulation in solar installations.
Customised industrial packaging: Development of customised packaging to protect fragile products during storage or transport.

/ More information

The Plot250 pantograph is an entry-level CNC hot wire foam cutter, highly recommended for the start-up business of cutting and shaping expanded and extruded polystyrene.

The Plot 250 is a CNC plotter specialising in foam cutting, ideal for those working in small to medium production, although it is also capable of taking on larger projects without generating significant additional costs. It allows the creation of a wide variety of pieces, such as decorative elements, cornices, columns, capitals, letters, sculptures, logos, signs, decorations, scenery, window displays, packaging and custom shapes of all kinds.

This machine is suggested for the manufacturing of foam decorative elements, foam cornices, pillars, columns, polystyrene mouldings, polystyrene foam sculptures, 3d Logos, signs, billboards, scenography, film set, packaging, party decorations. It is important to underline that, the affordable cost of this machine does not affect the high quality, guaranteed for all Nettuno Sistemi cutting machines.

Plot250 represents today the combination of the feedback from our customers all over the world and the research of our team for the creation of the most advanced and powerful hot wire CNC foam cutting machines. It is the perfect CNC foam cutting machine for making "small" and "medium" sized productions made of polystyrene foam. It can also be adapted on request for large productions.

The open structure of the Plot250 hot wire cutting machine allows the operator to easily process any type of EPS / XPS polystyrene cuts. Nettuno introduced the "open structure" concept more than 10 years ago with the Infinity model and continues to offer this solution with the Plot250 foam cutting machine.
