The MultiCam EZ Knife system was developed to serve markets that require mechanized knife cutting, creasing, and perforation operations. The EZ Knife system supports tangential drag, oscillating and ultrasonic cutting techniques. Choose from many blade types including rotary, spear point, utility, and more. EZ Knife can be purchased as a stand-alone CNC machine based on the MultiCam 1000 Series and 3000 Series motion platforms and can also be added as an option to the 1000, 3000 Router and Plasma Series.
What makes EZ Knife special? For one, EZ Knife only works on a Multicam and second, no other knife system is as powerful and reliable as a MultiCam. Compared to other mechanized knife cutters, MultiCam is the heaviest built. MultiCam high performance motion systems, all steel construction and a vast range of process area sizes bring a new level of performance and utility to knife cutting. MultiCam machines are heavy, powerful and accurate so moving a knife blade is EZ. Why are they so heavy duty? Because the same MultiCam can also move a ninety pound high-frequency spindle through solid wood, thick acrylic and aluminum. Ask yourself; what other knife system cuts such a wide envelope of materials? Only one, the MultiCam EZ Knife system!
Target Markets
EZ Knife is applicable to many markets. Point of Purchase and Graphic Art professionals use EZ Knife as part of their digital finishing workflow. Images that have been printed on wide format digital printers are easily registered using the exclusive MultiCm MultiVision digital registration system. The printed images are placed on the MultiCam outfitted with EZ knife and the cut process is completed in perfect registration. When combined, MultiVision and EZ Knife make a powerful digital finishing solution!
Graphic artists wrap designs onto boxes and other POP displays. EZ Knife can assist this process by creasing, perforating and cuttting corrugated and other cardboard materials, for sample making and short-run packing.
The HVAC industry uses EZ Knife to cut acoustic liners such as fiberglass and closed-cell foam. Both fiberglass and closed cell foam are used to acoustically insulate steel HVAC ductwork. EZ Knife works with both rotary knife blades and oscillating knives.
EZ Knife cuts single-ply materials for the boating industry and other similar upholstery applications. Single-ply phenolic and composite materials are hard to cut with conventional knife technologies EZ Knife offers an ultrasonic option to challenge these tough applications.
