Oscillating Knife Cutting Machines | Paper products (egg trays, cups), lightweight materials | Cutting speed: Base 100 cuts/min (▲ vs Industry 80 cuts/min), Advanced 120 cuts/min (▲▲) Blade durability: 5000 cycles (▲▲ vs Industry 3000 cycles) Noise level: 75 dBA (quieter than typical industrial machinery) | High precision for intricate patterns, low maintenance, handles paper/textiles | Limited to thin materials, slower than guillotine cutters for bulk straight cuts |
Laser Cutting Machines | Electronics, medical devices, precision parts | Accuracy: ±0.1mm (ISO 2768) Material versatility: Metals, plastics, glass | Handles complex designs, no tool wear, minimal material waste | High operational cost, requires ventilation systems, slower for large volumes |
Guillotine Cutters | Cardboard, paper, bulk straight-line cutting | Cutting force: 5000 N (ASTM F2214) Speed: 200 cuts/min (▲▲ vs Industry 150 cuts/min) | Fast, cost-effective for bulk production, simple operation | Limited to straight cuts, unsafe for intricate patterns, blade dulling over time |
Rotary Die Cutters | Mass production of labels, packaging, textiles | Production rate: 1500 units/hour (ISO 9283) Die longevity: 10,000+ cycles (ASTM D3330) | High-volume output, consistent quality, ideal for uniform shapes | High setup costs, material-specific dies required, inflexible for design changes |
CNC Cutting Machines | 3D prototyping, automotive, aerospace parts | 3D precision: ±0.05mm (ISO 10360) Multi-axis capability: 5-axis motion (▲▲ vs Industry 3-axis) | Versatile for complex geometries, automated workflows | Expensive, requires skilled operators, slower for high-volume tasks |
Hydraulic Press Cutters | Thick plastics, metals, industrial materials | Force capacity: 10,000 N (ASTM F2214) Material thickness: Up to 20mm (▲▲ vs Industry 10mm) | Handles heavy-duty materials, robust construction | Slow cycle time, large footprint, high energy consumption |
