ATOM FlashCut

Twins EMH Series

The ATOM Flashcut TWINS EMH (Electric Milling Head) Series CNC Knife Cutting & Milling Systems allows to sequentially or separately using the cutting knife & the router.

It is the ideal dieless solution to combine the process of foam or rigid materials as well a vast number of other materials with a single tool. The combination of knife cutting & milling in a single machine allows a company to rapidly increase time to market, eliminate the costly steps in the manufacturing process including cutting dies, lamination & assembly, reduce labor costs (machine can run unattended), and gain new business by producing samples and prototypes within minutes.

The double Z-Axis head provides independent penetration control of both tools which allows the working of 3D shapes of any density foams (Expanded PE, PU etc.) or very hard materials like rubber, plastics, wood, composites even light alloys with extreme accuracy. In order to mill a wider range of materials, ATOM designed a new head, equipped with either a 1kW or 2.4kW electric router spindle, with variable speed turning from 1,000-40,000 RPM. An integrated air cooling system allows the mill to operate 24 hours per day. The working area is kept perfectly cleaned with its own internal dust extraction system.

Advanced nesting software packages maximize yields and significantly reduce expensive material waste. Engineered and designed to cut the hardest materials like compressed non asbestos, steel inserted graphite, hard rubber, cross-linked PE foams, Kevlar & carbon fiber, plastics, and many more. Materials widely used in the automotive, aerospace, composite, electronics, medical, petro-chemical, & packaging industries.

The new safety device, standard on all TWINS EMH series, is designed with two laser scanning units positioned at both ends of the moveable gantry. The laser ray covers the area around the cutting head and the dimensions of these areas of intervention can be defined accordingly.

The green area is considered “low danger” and when entered, the machine slows down the operating speed and returns to normal condition once the operator exits this area. The orange area is considered “medium danger” and when the operator enters this area, the machine will be placed in a “hold” position until the operator exits this area. The red area, closest to the moving beam, is considered “high danger” therefore once the operator enters this area the machine stops completely and cuts the main power to the motor (similar to an emergency stop button).

The ATOM Flashcut TWINS EMH Series is available in several configurations with either a static or conveyorized (belt feed) cutting surface capable of processing materials up to 50mm in thickness – cutting solutions for combined jobs.

The ATOM FlashCut EMHD 2Z Axis Digital CNC Knife Cutting & Milling Center was studied and developed for companies that produce case inserts, packaging components and sound dampening materials made from soft, rigid and convoluted foams with a maximum thickness of 130mm. The double Z-Axis head provides independent penetration control of both tools which allows the working of 3D shapes of any density foams (Expanded PE, PU etc.) or very hard materials like rubber, plastics, wood, composites even light alloys with extreme accuracy.

The EMH Series is available in both a Static (S) or Belt (B) configuration - except 6115, which is only available as a Static (S) table.

Modular Heads

Twins Tool Head

This modular head with 2 independent vertical axes slots allows to work sequentially, matching a wide range of cutting, creasing, marking and punching tools. It is possible to perform different jobs using the most suitable tool for every specific need on the same shape. In the same cutting session it is also possible to use the inkjet printer and the camera to acquire the cutting reference points.

The EMH head allows to sequentially or separately use the cutting knife and the router. It is the best solution to combine the process of foam or rigid materials as well as to process a great number of other materials with a single tool. Two different types of routers are available: both turning at high-speed, with a power of 1 or 2.4 kW, air cooling system, variation of the speed rate during the processing and vacuum cleaning system with electric height regulation

Tooling Combinations

The Pneumatic Oscillating Chuck (POC) – (1.0mm), is an air driven tool engineered for cutting the most difficult materials but is also used for cutting thick, soft substrates as well.

The Pneumatic Oscillating Chuck (POC) – (1.5mm), is an air driven tool engineered for cutting the most difficult materials but is also used for cutting thick, soft substrates as well.

The Drag Knife Chuck (DKC) is ideal for total cutting rigid materials like thin compressed non-asbestos, laminates & plastics up to 6mm (1/4”) in thickness.

The Electric Oscillating Knife Chuck (EOK), is ideal for cutting softer, low-medium density materials like thin foams, soft rubber, pure graphite, leather, laminates, adhesives and similar products.

The pneumatic milling chuck, or PMC, was designed for companies that want the flexibility for light-duty milling applications for rigid materials, primarily plastics (ABS, UHMW, PP, PE etc..), that are not capable of being cut with the traditional pneumatic oscillating knife chuck.​

The Powered Rotary Chuck (PRC), is designed for cutting difficult fibrous materials, both uni-lateral & bi-lateral weaves, at a high rate of speed. The PRC is suitable for processing carbon fibers, Kevlar, fiber-glass, aramid and technical textiles & composites in general.​

The creaser chuck is ideal for processing a wide range of single, double & triple wall corrugated cardboard. This chuck accommodates creaser wheels with a diameter of 40mm, 70mm and 95mm.

The Ultrasonic Knife Chuck is ideal for high durometer rubbers and some plastics at high speeds in a single pass.
