A unique hotwire machine that has an adjustable width
Dynamically Sized Platform
Foam blocks are laid across the top of two narrow tables; one stationary and one mobile. The inbuilt castor wheels on the mobile table enable easy expansion, so the machine can adjust to variable widths. Cut blocks up to 5 meters wide.
Integrated Blower System
This feature circulates the air alongside the cutting hotwire, in effect cooling the area around the wire. This prevents overheating which could otherwise break the wire or damage the block edge.
Dual Drives
A ball screw vertical drive eliminates counterweights and can achieve an accuracy of 0.025mm. A rack and pinion horizontal drive provides accurate and repeatable positioning with minimal maintenance.
Compatible with a Selection of Wires
Two different wire sizes have been tested for compatibility and performance with this model. A description and purpose of each wire type can be found on our spare parts page.
OPTIONAL CONFIGURATIONS
AutoNEST is optional software that can be used in conjunction with Wintech Profiler to increase the efficiency of nesting when variable quantities of different shapes are required in a single cutting job.
A digitiser tablet provides the ability to trace around existing templates or actual shapes, which then creates the drawings to be used by the Wintech Profiler software. The drawings can be stored on the computer for regular production jobs. This is an ideal option for new CNC owners looking to automate their manual production flow.

FAQs
Small machines can simply be wheeled into a shipping container and secured. Larger machines must be dismantled to fit into a container. On arrival at the factory a Wintech technician will come to assemble and commission the machine, and train the operator.
Wintech provides a 12 month / 2000 hours warranty on all machines.
Wintech has authorised agents around the world who have their own service technicians.
Wintech manufactures and supplies a range of wires suitable for a variety of applications.
The machines themselves can operate in a wide range of temperatures. The control cabinet housing the computer and electronics are air-conditioned and pressurized to provide dust isolation. In extremely hot, cold, or dusty factories we recommend placing the control cabinet in a separate temperature-controlled operator booth.
