COMPUTER CONTROLLED
RECIRCULATING WIRE CUTTER
MODEL:  1040REC


For high quality results with materials other than EPS including most rigid and 
flexible foams, urethanes, expandable polypropylene and polyethylene,  and 
phenolic materials, the 1040REC “Foamcutter” provides fast, efficient and 
economical cutting with a recirculating wire.

Cutting accuracy and efficiency are provided by high quality mechanical 
performance coupled with an operator friendly, cad integrated, motion control 
system.

The machine’s heavy duty construction includes a welded tubular steel frame 
with an aluminum cutting harp.  Mechanical motion is accomplished by high 
quality linear shafts and bearings that allow the harp to move while the material 
remains stationary providing a high degree of accuracy and repeatable cuts.  
Cutting is accomplished by a high speed, endless abrasive wire driven by an AC 
Inverter.  Many safety features are incorporated into the machine to make its 
operation safe for your operator.

Motion is controlled by the Tri Technologies 6200 Cutting System utilizing 
motion control components from Parker Compumotor.  This system allows parts 
design to be done either at the machine or in an office environment on a 
separate PC and then downloaded to the motion controller.  Because of the 
separation of design and operation, your part designer can continue designing 
while the machine operates.  A user friendly operator interface is provided for 
easy operation at the machine.  The proprietary motion control software that 
integrates with any DXF format file, such as those produced by Autocad, allows 
for motion speed changes to insure accurate cuts in corners without loosing 
speed in straight cuts.  Repeating cuts (looping) is also possible.
