£150K Investment in CNC Vertical Saw!

Our investment in CNC technology continued into April 2016 with the further acquisition of a CNC Vertical Saw. Although not planned, the opportunity to purchase this German-built second-hand example was too good to pass by!

Believed to be the only model of its kind currently operating in the UK, this machine will transform the way Suttons converts its foam sheet raw material. Standing 14m in length this impressive machine can process foam sheets within a large maximum working area of 1550mm x 3300mm. Combined with a fast Cutting Speed of 80m per minute and a Twist Knife Angle of +/- 270° this CNC vertical cutting machine can cut complex shapes and acute angles with great accuracy.

Combined with new CAD design software, we will be able to increase productivity and improve efficiency whilst minimising process waste. Increased automation will also mean a significant reduction in production tooling leading to lower costs for our customers.
