AXYZ router helps boost productivity at Think BDW
An AXYZ 4010 CNC router, incorporating a combined AXYZ ICS (Intelligent Cutting System) and oscillating knife, is helping boost productivity at ThinkBDW, one of the UK’s leading providers of integrated sign and display solutions to the house building industry.
Established in 1988, ThinkBDW designs and produces its print solutions at its 3,600m2 facility in Colchester, Essex. Its core business is based on both rigid external signage and flexible POS and exhibition display material used in the marketing suites and show houses of developers. The AXYZ router featuring the combined ICS and oscillating knife facility is used for cutting and shaping materials after printing.
Rob Jupp of ThinkBDW explained: “We can now more accurately cut pre-printed material used for signage and associated display applications, with the oscillating knife enabling the processing of flexible media such as card and paper. Significantly, the AXYZ solution has eliminated the need for any third-party supplier and enabled us to carry out all production in-house. This has helped speed up productivity, removed the frequently inevitable variables in the quality of output when using outside resources and enabled faster delivery of finished products to customers with a commensurate increase in profitability.”
The AXYZ 4010 router has a processing area of 3,048 (length) x 1,524mm (width) and can handle material up to 150mm thick. The AXYZ ICS facility is powered by the latest I-cut compensation algorithm technology for accurate cutting of flexible media and thicker sign making materials. Jupp added: “We are considering a new floating head for the AXYZ router in order to increase the range of material options that we can accommodate.’
