Cutting Aluminium Composite Material (ACM) with a DYSS X7 Digital Cutting Machine Fitted with a Router
Aluminium Composite Material (ACM) is a popular choice for signage and display applications due to its strength, lightweight nature, and clean finish. To achieve accurate cuts, using a digital cutting machine like the DYSS X7 fitted with a router is the best option.
Why Choose the DYSS X7 to process ACM?
The DYSS X7 digital cutting machine, when equipped with a powerful router, delivers the precision and versatility that are critical for handling the layers of aluminium and polyethylene in ACM panels. Unlike cutting methods that may struggle with the material’s rigid aluminium layers, the router allows for clean, consistent cuts, whether you're working on straight lines or arcs. When paired with a V-shaped router bit, the machine can create v-groove lines, enabling folds in ACM panels, for example for the manufacture of sign trays or light boxes.
Key Advantages of Using a Router for Cutting Dibond:
- Clean, Smooth Edges: The router bit cuts through ACM cleanly, leaving no burrs or rough edges. This results in a professional finish that’s ready for immediate use.
- Precise Depth Control: Adjustable settings allow for accurate control of cutting depth. This is especially useful for engraving or making partial cuts for bending and folding panels.
- Cuts Complex Shapes: Whether you need to cut curves or detailed patterns, the router tool handles complex shapes with ease, offering greater design flexibility.
- Improved Efficiency: The DYSS X7 router cuts ACM quickly and cleanly, reducing the need for manual finishing and speeding up your production process.
Features of the DYSS X7 for Routing ACM:
- High-Speed Spindle: The router tool operates at high RPMs, ensuring smooth, consistent cuts through both the aluminium layers and the polyethylene core.
- Precision Tool Control: With digital accuracy, the DYSS X7’s router can handle intricate designs, ideal for projects requiring tight tolerances.
- Versatile Material Handling: The DYSS X7 can cut through various thicknesses of ACM, making it adaptable for different applications, from signage to architectural elements.
- Specialised bits: There is a range of router bits specifically for processing ACM to give the best possible finish on high-quality ACM like Dibond and Skybond. There is also a range of bits to enable the folding of the ACM.
In conclusion, a DYSS X7 digital cutting machine fitted with a router and the option of a V-shaped bit offers the precision and flexibility needed to cut and fold Aluminium Composite Material, enabling innovative designs with professional-quality results.
