We have a variety of sawing machines at our disposal, including computer-controlled horizontal beam saws, band saws and panel saws. Our largest horizontal beam saw can handle panels of up to 3100 x 4000 mm with a thickness of up to 120 mm.
Our beam saws allow us to cut large quantities of sheets down to size simultaneously. Regardless of colour or thickness, we can stack entire sheets on top of one another and cut them down to the required size in one go. This is useful, for instance, if you have your own small laser bed.
If you need large runs of shapes or sizes, then we have nesting software that enables us to get diverse shapes and sizes from a sheet as efficiently and economically as possible. You can either send us your own nesting file that we can import into our computer, or we can provide you with nesting suggestions. Careful nesting both cuts down on unnecessary costs and is a form of sustainable material management.
When it comes to large quantities, our customers also regularly take advantage of the option of having custom-cut sheets labelled with the dimensions and type of material.
Sheets cut by saw have neat but sharp edges. Custom-cut sheets are not finished with hand-friendly edges or bevelled as standard. This is often unnecessary because we saw so neatly that all the edges feel finished. We can polish the edges to give a smooth, shiny finish.
What is the cutting tolerance for products that you cut to size?
When it comes to sheets, tubes and rods that we cut to your exact specifications, we apply a tolerance of +/- 1 mm per saw cut. After cutting, we do not deburr the product as standard.
What is the edge-finishing on products that you cut to size?
The edges of cut plastic sheets are rough and there is often a saw-blade mark left on them. The sheets that we cut to size are not supplied deburred (hand-friendly) as standard.
How much cutting waste do I need to take into account?
We allow for around 5 mm cutting waste per saw cut on all sheets, plastic tubes, or rods that we cut to size.
Can I supply my own material for cutting to size?
Yes, we can cut your supplied material to specific dimensions. We often cut pallets of MDF, Timber, plywood and other materials for our clients.
CNC Beam Saws and Panel Saws
At Plastix, our aletendorf table saws are mainly suited to small-scale cutting operations. This specific saw allows you to cut a 45-degree mitre, for example. We can cut sheets that are thicker than 120 mm to size for you.
Having our extensive stock and all our operations under one roof makes us a reliable and expert partner in the supply chain. We keep virtually all materials in stock, and match our processing, quality control and packaging methods to your requirements and production process.
