Modules & Tools
The F Series models feature a multi-functional cutting head capable of holding up to three cutting modules simultaneously. This allows the system to efficiently handle cutting jobs that require multiple techniques or to switch quickly between tasks involving different materials. The integrated camera system and LED pointer in the central unit ensure precise and rapid mark recognition for flawless operation.
Each module can accommodate a variety of tools, blades and bits, allowing you to select the ideal tool for cutting your specific material and achieving the highest quality results. Every tool features a barcode ID for automatic recognition and parameter pre-sets. As your business expands, you can easily extend your tool range to meet new production demands.
AUTOMATIC DEPTH CONTROL:
The Automated Depth Control (ADC) simplifies tool, knife or bit changes significantly. The ADC measures the tip of the knife or bit accurately and sets the down position of the tool to the table’s level, thus guaranteeing a flawless cut.
