Horizontal Contour Cutting
Cut precise contours from harder materials
The C 68 cuts with precision both horizontally and vertically, trims contours to size, and is used for a wide range of materials such as PU, PE, bonded and flexible foams with high densities. The oscillating knife allows for sharp contours, even at small radii. The C 68 also includes a bespoke software package that ensures ease of use.
Short set-up times and extremely easy maintenance
The C 68 features an oscillating knife that is clamped horizontally, which takes little "set-up" time and effort. The knife clamping is kept at a constant pneumatic tension during the cutting process. With this model from the C 6x series, you can cut almost any desired contour. A turnable material supporting table (optional) widens the range of applications. You can use cutting programs from other FK contour cutting centers in the C 68 or create new programs on a separate CAD PC.
Cut even small radii with the highest precision
The oscillation technology is ideal for cutting technical materials, as well as contours with sharp edges or small radii with small tolerances. Two synchronized servo drives generate the oscillating motion of the knife. This means that no gear unit or connecting components are required. Our Windows-based FK nesting and routing software ensures the optimal use of materials and delivers perfect cutting lines.
