Multi unit
The perfect add-on for milling jobs: it packs an oscillating tangential cutting head and a universal head.
This means that in addition to machining jobs, you can also create 45-degree beveled cuts (V cuts), straight cuts or perform scoring work on your Active Pro – meaning you are well equipped to work with any material.
The required unit is lowered into its working position by a pneumatic lifting cylinder, while the other is raised into its rest position. This prevents mutual interference.
The Multi Unit offers tremendous possibilities
The Multi Unit delivers division of labor when machining your workpieces:
- The oscillating tangential cutting head (right-hand component of unit) performs straight cuts in thicker materials.
- The universal head (left-hand component of unit) does the remaining work: Thanks to the vast spectrum of tool attachments available, it can be used for diverse machining jobs such as straight cutting, 45-degree bevel cutting (e.g., V cuts or passepartouts), and scoring work. During the machining process, an actuator automatically brings the tool into a tangential alignment with the machining path.
The universal head with straight cutting attachment is ideally suited for cutting thin materials such as film or cardboard. A spring-loaded kiss-cut attachment is the perfect choice if you only want to cut the top layer of a film, but want the backing layer below to remain intact. It can also be fitted with a scoring wheel to crease cardboard etc.
The V-Cut attachment for 45-degree bevel cuts is of particular interest for advertising and exhibition purposes. It can be used to diagonally cut corrugated cardboard or sandwich materials such as Re-board®, Allison® or Kapa® to construct stable, three-dimensional objects including displays, trade fair and shop furnishing items, packaging units or custom samples. That said, it can also be used to process thin materials such as passepartouts.
Requirements for perfect operation
- since the Multi Unit is positioned on the right-hand side of the spindle at the bridge, its travel range is reduced by up to 300 mm, while the milling process is not affected
- you need a dry, oil-free compressed air supply capable of delivering 6 bar in continuous operation to operate the pneumatic lifting cylinder
Technical data
Multi unit: general information
- the processing units are mounted on a separate skid which moves in conjunction with the z-axis.
- the active processing unit is brought into working position by pneumatic lifting cylinders.
- automatic tangential alignment of the lance in the direction of processing along the work path.
- for processing of wallpapers, carpets, balsa wood, cardboard boxes, films, rubber materials (seals/mats), foams, different typical sign making materials (PVC foams, polystyrene, Kapa®, composites, capillary boards), textile materials, leather, sandblasting films, pond liners, truck tarpaulins, etc.
Oscillating tangential cutting head
- lance oscillation frequency 116 Hertz (corresponding to approx. 7,000 strokes/min) via electric drive; stroke approx. 3 mm
- for burr-free cutting jobs even with thicker materials
Universal head
- adjustable to different processing jobs with easy to change tool attachments for straight cuts, kiss cuts, bevel cuts (V cut), and scoring
- available with additional tool attachments on request
