    • CNC Foam cutter
    • The frame made from 4040 Extruded Aluminum profiles and joined together with custom Aluminum brackets for rigidity.
    • CNC Foam cutter
    • The Control box securely mounted on the side of the machine.
    • CNC Foam cutter
    • Meanwell power supplies and Rhino Motion control Drivers.
    • CNC Foam cutter
    • Y carriage CNC machined from 10mm Delrin.
    • CNC Foam cutter
    • The Nichrome wire is held in the carriage with spring on either side. Power to the wire is fed via the stainless steel threaded rods which also act as vertical spacers between parallel wires.
    • CNC Foam cutter
    • The carriage runs on roller bearings with custom Delrin bushings which attach to the aluminum profiles. All the wires are contained in the frame itself and the design is modular.

    • The Y-axis holds a Nema 23 motor with the belt running through the inner profile of the Aluminum extrusions. The wires from the control box are fed via a cable carrier.
    • The first machine was installed at an insulation profile making factory in Kozhikode. Some photos of the machine in the client’s factory.
