The Cutting-2518 is a corrugated board box cutting machine with 4 paper libraries, a patented design of 7 longitudinal knives and 1 transverse knife, capable of producing 30% more box types than standard industry machines. Conceived as a balanced solution between material versatility and equipment compactness, this corrugated board box cutting machine processes corrugated board with widths up to 2.550 mm and thicknesses of 2,5–6,5 mm, producing box blanks with a minimum thickness of 18 mm at an efficiency of 3,5–10 pcs/minute, with automatic selection among 4 board types without manual intervention.
Through the 4-simultaneous-library configuration, the Cutting-2518 corrugated board box cutting machine eliminates manual material changing for the 4 most frequent board types used in the plant, while maintaining a compact footprint and simple operation compared with configurations with more libraries. Combined with one-click knife adjustment and an optimized cutting path for material savings, the Cutting-2518 is the optimal choice for plants with a defined material portfolio and high productivity requirements.
Key advantages of the Cutting-2518 corrugated board box cutting machine
• 4 paper libraries with automatic material selection: the Cutting-2518 machine simultaneously stores 4 different types of corrugated board and automatically selects the right material for each order, without the operator physically changing the board roll or sheet between orders with different material specifications.
• Design of 7 longitudinal knives + 1 transverse knife: 30% more box types. The configuration with 7 longitudinal knives and 1 transverse knife allows 30% more box types and geometries to be produced than standard industry machines with fewer knives, covering complex formats impossible to obtain on conventional equipment.
“Design with 7 longitudinal knives + 1 transverse knife: 30% more box types than standard machines in the industry, with one-click automatic servo adjustment.”
• One-click knife adjustment: a box-format change is performed with a single click from the control panel; the machine automatically reconfigures the positions of all knives to the new dimensions, with no manual mechanical adjustments and no downtime between orders.
• Optimized cutting path: board savings. The internal algorithm automatically calculates the optimal cutting path to minimize material waste on each order, reducing the board cost per blank compared with non-optimized cutting on conventional equipment.
• Continuous processing at fixed size: the continuous processing system of the Cutting-2518 machine ensures uninterrupted production of foldable blanks at the set sizes, with no stops for adjustments during a run, maximizing effective productivity.
• Board pressing with free knife: stability during cutting. The free-knife pressing system keeps the corrugated board stable in the cutting area without deforming the material, ensuring the geometric accuracy of each blank regardless of the thickness of the board processed.
• Maximum cutting width 2.550 mm: covers extra-wide corrugated board sheets for large-format boxes used in packaging furniture, household appliances and industrial equipment, without cutting in several steps.
• Minimum box thickness 18 mm: allows the production of blanks with a minimum height of 18 mm, compatible with flat packaging and thin components that cannot be processed on machines with higher minimum limits.

The Cutting-2518 with 4 libraries versus the Cutting-2518 Pro-3/6: how to choose
The Cutting-2518 machine with 4 libraries and the Pro-3/6 model with 3 or 6 libraries use the same 7+1 knife design, the same format specifications and the same production efficiency. The difference is exclusively in the material-management capacity.
The Cutting-2518 machine with 4 libraries is the optimal choice for plants that regularly use 3–4 defined types of corrugated board, covering the vast majority of orders without manual material changing, with a lower investment cost and a more compact footprint than the Pro-6 model. If the plant regularly uses more than 4 board types or if orders frequently vary in material specifications, the Pro-6 model with 6 libraries completely eliminates manual interventions for material changing. UZINEX provides free consultancy for analyzing the material portfolio and selecting the optimal configuration.
Applications and industries for the Cutting-2518 corrugated board box cutting machine
The Cutting-2518 machine is intended for custom packaging plants and manufacturers that cut corrugated board sheets to produce blanks for varied orders, with automatic selection among 4 material types and fast format adjustment through a single click. It is the balanced solution for plants with a defined material range and medium to large production volumes.
Packaging plants that supply pre-cut blanks for the FQ-P01, FQ-P02 or FQ-P03 packaging lines use the Cutting-2518 machine as the first piece of equipment in the production flow: the material is cut precisely to the required dimensions and transferred directly to the folding, sealing or packaging stations, without an intermediate stock of standard pre-formatted blanks.
Manufacturers of furniture, household appliances and industrial products that produce packaging in-house benefit from the 7+1 knife design of the Cutting-2518 machine: they can produce 30% more box types than conventional equipment, covering complex custom packaging geometries without investing in additional cutting equipment.
Manufacturers with a defined portfolio of 3–4 cardboard types who benefit from automatic material selection without investing in the Pro-6 configuration.
Factories that pre-cut blanks for direct integration with the FQ-P01/FQ-P02/FQ-P03 lines: a fully automated flow from the cardboard sheet to the packed product.
Manufacturers with in-house packaging that exploit the 7+1 knife design for complex geometries impossible on conventional equipment.
How the Cutting-2518 corrugated board box cutting machine works
1. Order identification through QR scanning: the operator scans the order's QR code; the system automatically retrieves the format specifications and the required material type from the internal database.
2. Automatic material selection from the 4 libraries: the Cutting-2518 machine automatically selects the corrugated board type from the corresponding library among the 4 available, with no manual intervention.
3. One-click knife adjustment: the system automatically reconfigures the positions of the 7 longitudinal knives and the transverse knife to the dimensions of the new order with a single click from the control panel.
4. Automatic cutting-path optimization: the algorithm calculates the optimal cutting path to minimize board waste and applies it automatically before starting production.
5. Continuous cutting with stable pressing: the longitudinal and transverse cuts are made in continuous processing; the free-knife system keeps the board stable in the cutting area throughout the production run.
6. Blank output: the cut blanks come out ready for manual folding, transfer to folder-gluers from the HS, HX or YF series, or direct integration into the FQ-P01, FQ-P02 or FQ-P03 packaging lines in the UZINEX portfolio.
