A CNC cardboard cutting machine is an advanced type of cardboard cutting equipment. It utilizes computer control to achieve high precision and efficiency in cutting, forming, and processing cardboard and similar materials. These machines are widely used in industries such as packaging, printing, advertising, and prototyping. They replace traditional manual methods with automated processes, offering higher accuracy, speed, and the ability to meet complex processing requirements.
Cardboard is a material made from cellulose fibers (such as wood pulp) and is typically thicker and stronger than regular paper. The types of cardboard that a CNC cardboard cutting machine can process mainly include the following:
Corrugated Board: This is the most common type, usually used for making boxes, billboards, etc. Corrugated board consists of three layers: two outer smooth paper layers and a middle corrugated layer.
Paperboard: Also known as chipboard or cardstock, it is a thicker, stiffer form of paper. It is commonly used to make smaller packaging items, such as cereal boxes, shoe boxes, and gift boxes.
Honeycomb Board: Due to its honeycomb structure, it is lightweight but strong. It is often used for protective packaging and display boards.
Gray Board: Made from recycled pulp, gray board is commonly used for making book covers, game boards, and other rigid items.
Single Wall Board: This type of cardboard is thinner and mainly used for light packaging and crafts.
Folding Box Board: This is a single-layer board typically used for packaging small items such as cosmetics, food, and pharmaceuticals. It is lightweight, easy to handle, and ideal for retail packaging.
Our products include the following models for cardboard cutting:
ES-6090/ES-1312
ES-R1625OD
ES-R1625OS
ES-R1625ODS-AT4
We highly recommend the following models for cardboard cutting: ES-R1625OD, ES-R1625OS, and ES-R1625ODS-AT4. These models offer fast cutting speeds and ease of use.
In cardboard applications, CNC routers use oscillating tools for cutting. Oscillating tools can be either pneumatic or electric. For cardboard thicker than about 2 cm, a pneumatic oscillating knife can be used, while thinner cardboard can be cut using a creasing tool or an electric oscillating knife.
Table Size: All models feature a worktable size of 1620x2550 mm, suitable for handling larger cardboard cutting tasks.
Multi-functional Cutting Machine: Capable of cutting a variety of materials, including corrugated cardboard, honeycomb board, etc.
Supports Multiple CAD Software Formats (such as DXF, PLT, AI, etc.): Users can directly import design files for cutting, eliminating the need for additional conversion and simplifying the operation process.
High-precision Transmission System (such as servo motor-driven ball screws and linear guides): Enables precise cutting position control, improving cutting accuracy and repeatability while reducing errors. It is suitable for high-precision cardboard processing.
Industrial Camera: Used for real-time monitoring of the cutting process, ensuring the accuracy of the cutting path. The camera's high-definition positioning function enables precise contour cutting.
Independent Z-axis Modular Design: Makes equipment adjustment and maintenance more convenient. Users can quickly replace or upgrade tools and modules, improving production flexibility and efficiency.
Dual Vacuum Worktable Design: Can simultaneously fix two pieces of material, increasing processing efficiency. The vacuum suction ensures that the material stays stable during cutting, preventing errors caused by material movement.
Automatic Feeding and Roll Cutting System: Enables continuous production, reduces manual intervention, improves production efficiency, and lowers labor intensity.
Optional Creasing Knife: Further expands the functionality of the machine, meeting more diverse cardboard processing needs.
A CNC cardboard cutting machine, controlled by a computer, can achieve highly detailed designs and complex patterns, opening new creative possibilities for applications like custom packaging, brand logos, and art projects.
The speed of CNC cardboard cutting machines far exceeds that of traditional manual methods, enabling rapid, automated completion of large-scale cardboard cutting tasks and reducing the need for manual labor.
CNC cardboard cutting machines can handle a wide range of materials, including corrugated cardboard, honeycomb board, paperboard, kraft paper, and even thin plastic or foam board.
Typically equipped with user-friendly software, CNC cardboard cutting machines make programming and operation easier. They also require minimal maintenance due to their durability and reliability.
Modern CNC cardboard cutting machines are often equipped with dust collection systems to reduce dust and noise generated during the cutting process.
Unlike laser cutting machines, CNC cardboard cutting machines do not produce harmful gases or pose a combustion risk, enhancing workplace safety.
1. Consider the Type of Cardboard You Will Be Processing (e.g., corrugated, honeycomb, particle board) and its thickness. For thicker or tougher materials, machines with oscillating knives or drag knives are ideal.
2. Choose a Machine with a Worktable Size That Matches the Size of Your Cardboard or Box. Ensure the worktable can accommodate the largest size of your projects. Larger worktables are better for shipping cartons, furniture models, etc., while smaller worktables are sufficient for gift boxes or smaller prototypes.
3. Modern CNC cutting machines usually come with multiple functions, such as oscillating knife cutting, creasing, half-cutting, positioning, and drawing functions. Selecting a machine with more features can improve production efficiency and flexibility based on your specific needs.
4. Ensure the CNC cardboard cutting machine supports popular design software formats like CAD, Adobe Illustrator, or CorelDRAW (including DXF, SVG, and AI files).
