Hot wire cut polystyrene

Multiwires series

The series Multiwire for hot wire cutting of polystyrene is recommended for those planning to start mass production of architectural and decorative elements. 10 wires for cutting identical shapes are used simultaneously to drastically reduce the time required to produce large quantities of identical shapes. The maximum number of cutting wires is 10, but depending on the project, the operator can choose to use 1, 2, 3, etc.

Indipendent axes series

The series is divided into 5 axes independent models:

  • iXT 610
  • iXT 1300
  • iXT 1500
  • iXT 2500
  • iXT 3000

The main features of these models are:

  • independent axes are available on all new models IXT
  • New ARM processor cards with new electronic control
  • new software for 3D cutting
  • USB support
  • motor that controls the unlimited length of wire (a characteristic that makes our unique models on the market)
  • The trucks have been redesigned and reinforced
  • electrical wiring of the system are collected by the guides
  • advanced software for the management of the tension of the wire
  • automatic calculation of the thickness of the material

Cross Shaper

We are pleased to inform you that there is now a new model system for the cutting and extruded polystyrene, which is in addition to 47 others already available in the catalog, confirming Altec-Italy leader in cutting systems hot wire market.

This model called "Cross Shaper" has two cutting wires orthogonal to each other. Wire "z" (depth), will perform a cut with independent axes, while the wire "x" (width), will perform a cut with axes fixed.

The benefit have two orthogonal wires, is not to move the block of polystyrene from its position and to perform all the cuts both longitudinal and transversal, with greater precision, with no waste time and with the assurance of orthogonal cut accuracy.

Recommended for cuts in a series of small-format, does not exclude the application to work in other business sectors such as housing, visual communication, signs, shop windows, etc..Consigliato per tagli in serie di piccolo formato, non esclude comunque l'applicazione per lavorazioni in altri settori commerciali come edilizia, comunicazione visiva, insegne, vetrine, ecc.

 

Industrial System

With this model, the cut is fully automatically. The operator starts machine in the morning and turn off at the end of the day. The movement of the three conveyors is synchronized. The operator loads a part of the blocks to be cut and discharged from the opposite side the cut blocks. After placing vertical and horizontal wires into correct measurements, all the cutting process is automated.
