FW1000H series
CNC Fastwire machine for cutting boards and small blocks.
Our CNC contour cutting machines process a wide range of foam and insulation materials with a fast-running cutting wire. The wire cuts the material mechanically – without melting it with heat.
The versatility comes from choosing the right cutting wire: a different wire is used depending on the material. Changing it usually takes only about 1–2 minutes. This lets you use the same machine for different cutting tasks – for example for stone wool, glass wool, PUR/PIR, EPP, EPS or XPS.
The video shows how the cutting wire is changed.
How can different foams and insulation materials be cut with a continuous cutting wire? Our application videos show concrete examples of machining various materials – from flexible foams to rigid insulation materials.
CNC-controlled cutting of EPP foam into slices to produce precisely fitting lids for EPP packaging.
CNC contour cutting of an upright EPP foam board to produce custom packaging contours with a continuous cutting wire.
CNC cutting of an EPS block to produce a shaped packaging. The first cut produces the continuous profile. A second contour cut then adds angled cut-outs for the custom packaging geometry.
CNC cutting of an upright XPS rigid foam board with a board holder. Individual test specimens for material testing at the manufacturer are cut from the board.
CNC contour cutting of a horizontal board of non-crosslinked polyethylene foam (PE) to produce insulation profiles for windows. The continuous cutting wire allows precise machining of custom profile geometries.
CNC contour cutting of a horizontal board of non-crosslinked polyethylene foam (PE) to produce window insulation profiles. This video shows a different profile geometry than video 7.
CNC-controlled cutting of an upright stone wool board with a bulk density of 60 kg/m³. The continuous cutting wire enables the mechanical machining of the insulation material.
CNC-controlled cutting of an upright stone wool board with a bulk density of 60 kg/m³. Compared with video 9, a different cutting strategy is used to demonstrate the machining options with a continuous cutting wire.
CNC contour cutting of an upright stone wool board with a bulk density of 60 kg/m³. The video shows the production of another contour geometry for insulation applications with a continuous cutting wire.

CNC-controlled cutting of wedge-shaped insulation elements from a horizontal mineral wool board. The continuous cutting wire enables precise angled cuts to produce custom insulation wedges.

CNC contour cutting of a horizontal mattress made of natural rubber (natural latex). The continuous cutting wire enables the mechanical machining of custom contours for mattress production.
