VITAP INTRODUCES THE REFINED POINT K2 CNC WORK CENTER
Vitap S.p.A. and Atlantic Machinery Corporation has just released information and a video on the Point K2, an improved version of their compact CNC machine. The Point K2 is a true CNC work center, capable of performing the same duties as a full-fledged, conventional CNC router, for less money and space requirements. The main difference of the Point K2 from other similar compact CNC machines is that operations can be carried out without any set up time. It is a revolutionary CNC working center that allows for cutting, drilling, grooving, milling, and routing operations. All of these processes can be achieved without the need to reset the parts hold-down systems, resulting in zero set up time. This is due to the unique, patented Constant Contact Clamping System which ensures a continuous, uninterrupted operation – indispensable for all milling operations.
Using the Vitap software for BAR NESTING, the operator inserts a panel of unlimited length (X axis) into the Point K2, which then automatically cuts the panel into sections widthwise (Y axis). The size of the sections are pre-programmed into the software, are precise, and do not necessarily need to be of the same dimensions. After each section is cut to size, the Point K2 can drill that section’s 4 sides and groove, rout, and drill the face of the piece before releasing it to the operator, making it ready to be assembled into a finished product.
Faster processing saves time. Compact footprint saves space. Less waste saves money. Lower energy costs.
And let’s not forget safety. In regards to safety, the machine is fully enclosed, with safety micro-switches on all door openings.
The Point K2 is ideal for companies of all sizes. It is available in both 1250mm and 920mm widths.
