What is a CNC Hot Wire Cutter?
The Hot Wire Cutter is an automated system which uses a thin heated wire to sear through Expanded (EPS) and Extruded (XPS) Polystyrene. The system is comprised of an operating computer and the Hot Wire Cutter. Installed on the Computer is the iXshaper software used to import the cut file and to prepare it in a format which the machine can read. Parameters such as cut speeds and start points are applied before the file is sent to the machine for cutting.
What is a CNC Fast Wire Cutter?
The Fast Wire system works identically to the Hot Wire system with the main differences being the wire and the materials it can cut. This system uses an abrasive wire moving at high speed.
The system is used to cut Polyurethane Foams (PU/PUR), Polyisocyanurate Foams (PIR, Polyiso, ISO), Polypropylene & Polyethylene Foams (PE, PP), Mineral Wool, Stone Wool, Glass Wool and Rockwool.
