Plastic cutting
In this section we present videos that demonstrate the experience gained in cutting panels and sheets, for companies that produce components even of very small dimensions, such as insulating materials for electrical transformers or commercial displays.
These materials are then processed by other numerically controlled machines, so that the CNC work can be dedicated only to the drilling and/or pantographing of the case, thus greatly increasing the yields thanks to the separation of the cutting of the panel saw, a machine dedicated to superior performance (in cutting) and with much lower waste thanks to blades of a much smaller thickness than the tools used in CNC machines.
The panel beam saw uses dedicated very powerful optimization programs and software, which make possible a much lower waste compared to any CNC and which can be interfaced with any other PC or machine software and/or with the management software.

The noise control and dust extraction are of an efficiency not comparable to any CNC and can be supplied in a complete and guaranteed turnkey system, which can be tested in our testing facility with your materials, which will be properly sectioned and aspirated.
Example of aspiration dedicated to plastic materials that require special treatments:
Our typical customer does not buy another CNC, but makes the existing one perform much better, by separating the cutting operations onto a dedicated panel saw, which normally costs half of another CNC, despite being equipped with:
- double inverter, therefore with control of the blade rotation revolutions and the real power delivered in the cut;
- air and/or emulsified grease tool cooling;
- scratch-resistant surfaces;
- solutions to obtain finished pieces of even very small dimensions and perfect for centesimal precision in measurements and high cutting quality.
The panel beam saw is controlled via a latest-generation PC and digital electronics, branded Schneider, very easy to use and maintain thanks to self-diagnostics, alarms with exhaustive indications, videos that show how to perform maintenance.
It is possible to receive online assistance, thanks to the integrated remote assistance function. Any spare parts will always be available, in any country, because they have been carefully chosen from the best brands.
The materials commonly cut, even those of considerable hardness or with apparent handling problems, are plastic and composite materials of the most varied types, consistencies, sizes and thicknesses for example: corian, formica, HPL, laminate, nylon pa6, nylon PA66, polyethylene-pe, arnite-PET, PVC, POM-acetal, teflon, ABS, P.T.F.E polyzene polyamide Zellamid, compact and alveolar polycarbonate, methacrylate, lexan, Celeron vetronite, Tecnocol (polyurethane), peek Zellamide.

The advantages in using a panel saw lie in superior performance (in cutting) with much less scrap. Thanks to blades that are much thinner than the tools used in CNC machines. But especially in the streamlining of the work of the latter as they are used for special machining.
We are approached by both companies that produce even very small components, such as the insulating materials of electrical transformers or commercial displays, perhaps then machined by other CNC machines; and companies that produce large products.
The following are videos showing the sectioning of plastic materials.
The panel saw takes advantage of optimization programs and software that minimizes panel movement in the cutting cycle. The optimization software itself communicates with the machine interface.
Noise control and dust extraction are of efficiency not comparable to any CNC and can be supplied as a complete and guaranteed turnkey package, testable in testing at our premises with your materials that will be properly sectioned and vacuumed.
Commonly cut materials, even of consistent hardnesses or with apparent handling problems, are plastics and composite materials of the most varied types, textures, sizes, and thicknesses e.g.: corian, formica, HPL, laminate, nylon pa6, nylon PA66, polyethylene-pe, arnite-PET, PVC, POM-acetal, Teflon, ABS, P.T.F.E polyzene polyamide Zellamid, compact and honeycomb polycarbonate, methacrylate, lexan, Celeron vetronite, Tecnocol (polyurethane), peek Zellamide.
Covid-19 emergency in-depth analysis: cutting Plexiglas protections
After the new government decree, new safety measures concern crowded spaces. Plexiglas separation panels in the workplace are one of the measures adopted on a large scale to limit risks related to exposure.
The material most used for the manufacture of breath and spit guards is transparent methacrylate plexiglas. Macmazza offers a specific in-depth analysis below on Plexiglas cutting.
Plexiglas cut if done using a panel beam saw machine requires a fraction of the time required by laser cutting. This confirms the technology offered by Macmazza which is particularly suitable for medium-high volumes.
Discover the excellent surface roughness of the cut boron thanks to the use of specific blades designed for cutting plastic materials. Discover the cooling system, and an efficient dust extraction system, which combined with a speed regulation system of advancement and rotation of the blades guarantees excellent cutting quality and minimisation of blade wear and low energy consumption.
