The air-cooled milling bit assures edge quality during high-speed milling of acrylics and other synthetics. The switch-operated bit exchange eliminates the need for hand tools.

The camera system and innovative front-end software make it the perfect entry level solution for signage production.

Kongsberg X Edge tooling

Milling with MultiCUT
The MultiCUT combines all the tool insert options with a milling spindle up to 60.000 RPM. This makes it the most versatile solution for POP display makers and sign producers. who can process flexible substrates to folding carton to hard PVC and acrylic panels.
The air-cooled milling bit assures edge quality during high-speed milling of acrylics and other synthetics. The switch-operated bit exchange eliminates the need for hand tools.

Highly accurate cutting on flexible & thin materials with the FlexiHead
The FlexiHead offers highly accurate, powerful cutting — on all flexible and thin materials such as paper, folding carton, vinyl, textile and more. The FlexiHead, like all the other toolheads, is attached to a very precise servo axis controlling the tool depth when cutting, creasing and routing.
Three configurable tool stations accommodate a full range of standard tool inserts. Specially designed knife and crease tool inserts are available to produce folding cartons with the same high throughput as corrugated jobs.
