At its recent open day AXYZ International announced a number of new production tool enhancements as well as its recently upgraded Trident hybrid CNC combined routing/cutting machine and a 4000 series Twin Z router.
Both of the latter featured the AXYZ ATC (Automatic Tool Change) facility, whilst the Trident also incorporated both the AXYZ AVS (AXYZ Vision System) to accommodate more intricate finishing applications, plus an oscillating knife unit for handling materials specific to these applications.
The new tool improvements include a kiss-cut knife-cutting tool, a high-speed 8.7HP 40,000rpm router spindle and an expanded ATC facility.
The kiss-cut knife option extends the functionality of AXYZ CNC routers by accommodating a much wider range of materials. It can be adapted to fit most of the commonly used routing/cutting spindles and tangential knife tools.
The HDS spindle is said to provide up to three times the power and speed of a standard spindle and with no compromise on the quality of the edge finish on the materials being processed.
The expanded ATC facility features a choice of 10 or 14 tool stations to complement the existing seven- and 21-station options.
