ZX-1625V CNC Knife Cutting Machine

The ZX-1625V is a fixed-table CNC knife cutting machine, designed for the precision processing of soft and semi-rigid non-metallic materials: corrugated cardboard, solid board, EVA and polyester foam, coroplast (corrugated plastic), honeycomb boards and polystyrene. The equipment is intended for packaging factories, POS display manufacturers, advertising workshops and rapid prototyping centers that need clean cutting, with no burning, at industrial speeds.

Unlike laser cutting, this CNC knife cutting machine produces no heat, smoke or burnt edges — the material remains chemically and aesthetically intact. The dual tool holder system allows two different tools to be mounted simultaneously, eliminating manual tool changes between operations and increasing productivity on long shifts or continuous 24/7 production.

Key advantages of the ZX-1625V CNC knife cutting machine

• Dual tool holder — two tools active simultaneously – the ZX-1625V CNC knife cutting machine allows two different heads to be mounted (e.g.: oscillating tool + V-cut tool) active in the same cycle, with no stops for tool changes.

• Cutting accuracy ±0,1 mm – ensured by industrial servo motors and high-quality linear guides with rack and pinion, for exact repeatability on large runs.

• Cutting speed up to 1200 mm/s – 3–5 times faster than manual cutting or classic plotters, with a rapid travel of 1500 mm/s.

• Compatible with materials from 0,1 mm to 100 mm thick – the included raised gantry allows the processing of thick boards of EVA foam, honeycomb or polystyrene without additional modifications.

• Automatic nesting software included – optimizes the placement of patterns on the material sheet, reducing waste and maximizing yield per board.

• 24/7 continuous operation – the CNC knife cutting machine works online and offline, with DXF and PLT support, and can be integrated into automated production flows.

• Aircraft-grade aluminium alloy platform – a series 6 alloy work table with a series 7 aviation aluminium honeycomb support, for long-term mechanical stability without deformation.

• Complete industrial safety – infrared sensors, 4 emergency stop buttons and an intelligent anti-collision device, in line with industrial safety standards.

ZX-1625V CNC knife cutting machine technical specifications

Materials compatible with the ZX-1625V CNC knife cutting machine

Corrugated cardboard and solid board

The ZX-1625V CNC knife cutting machine processes single wall and double wall corrugated cardboard, solid board (grey, ivory, duplex) and honeycomb board. The available operations include cutting, creasing and V-cutting for fold lines, fully covering the needs of prototyping and custom packaging production.

EVA foam, polyester and polystyrene

The servo tool with tungsten steel blades is optimized for EVA foam and similar materials with thicknesses of up to 100 mm. The cutting is done without heat, without melting and without edge deformation — essential for protective inserts in industrial packaging, prototypes and display stands.

Coroplast (corrugated plastic) and honeycomb boards

The pneumatic tool and the V-cut tool are configured specifically for coroplast and honeycomb boards, producing clean cuts and precise fold grooves without cracking the material. This CNC knife cutting machine is one of the few solutions able to process cardboard and coroplast simultaneously without changing the platform.

Other processable materials

The dual tool holder configuration allows adaptation for flexible PVC, plastic films, lightweight composite materials and other non-metallic materials with thicknesses between 0,1 mm and 100 mm, depending on the installed tools.

Laser pointer for precise visual guidance when positioning the material. Industrial computer + cabinet fully included in the standard delivery.

How the ZX-1625V CNC knife cutting machine works — the workflow

1. Design – the design file (DXF or PLT) is loaded into the nesting or V-cut software. The CNC knife cutting machine accepts files from any CAD/CAM application that exports to these standard formats.

2. Automatic nesting – the software automatically arranges the patterns on the surface of the material sheet to maximize utilization and minimize material waste.

3. Transmission to the machine – the finalized project is sent to the CNC knife cutting machine via the Ethernet interface within seconds.

4. Work table preparation – the material is placed on the 1600×2500 mm table and the vacuum system is activated for precise clamping without movement during processing.

5. Automatic cutting – the CNC knife cutting machine automatically performs the programmed operations: cutting, creasing, V-grooving, EVA cutting, according to the paths in the file.

6. Removing the parts – the finished parts are removed from the work table, with clean edges, with no burning and no deformation, ready for assembly or shipping.

Frequently asked questions about the ZX-1625V CNC knife cutting machine

What is the difference from laser cutting for cardboard and EVA foam?

The ZX-1625V CNC knife cutting machine generates no heat in the cutting zone, unlike a laser. The cardboard does not yellow, the EVA foam does not melt and the coroplast does not deform thermally. The result is a clean, precise edge with no odour — essential for food packaging, POS displays and protective inserts for sensitive products.

Can the ZX-1625V CNC knife cutting machine process thick materials?

Yes. The raised gantry included in the standard equipment allows the processing of materials with thicknesses of up to 100 mm. The servo tool with tungsten steel blades is configured specifically for EVA foam, polyester and similar thick materials. The CNC knife cutting machine can switch from a 2 mm sheet of coroplast to an 80 mm block of foam without structural modifications to the equipment.

What software is required to operate the ZX-1625V CNC knife cutting machine?

The software licenses are included in the standard delivery: automatic nesting software for optimizing pattern placement and V-cut software for configuring the fold grooves. The CNC knife cutting machine accepts DXF and PLT files exported from CorelDraw, AutoCAD, Adobe Illustrator and any other CAD/CAM application compatible with these standard industrial formats.

Is the ZX-1625V CNC knife cutting machine eligible for EU-funded projects?

Yes. UZINEX is a member of the Enterprise Europe Network and delivers equipment for projects with EU funds — the NRRP, the Regional Programme and the Just Transition Programme. The ZX-1625V CNC knife cutting machine can be included in funding files for production automation, the modernization of packaging lines and the digitalization of industrial processes. UZINEX provides the technical documentation required for procurement procedures and public tenders.

What consumables does the ZX-1625V CNC knife cutting machine require and how long do they last?

The main consumables are the blades — tungsten, with clear replacement cycles depending on the material. The pneumatic tool blades are replaced at approximately 15 days, the V-cut blades at 5 days, and the servo blades at 15 days, under intensive working conditions. The table protection mat (4 mm, included) has a service life of 1,5–2 years. Consumables can be ordered through UZINEX with fast delivery throughout Romania.

How does the dual tool holder system work on the ZX-1625V?

The ZX-1625V CNC knife cutting machine has two ports active simultaneously, each able to hold a different tool (oscillating, pneumatic, V-cut, servo or creasing). In the same working cycle, the machine can, for example, cut with the oscillating tool and make the V-groove with the V-cut tool, without the operator manually changing the head. The result: downtime eliminated and productivity doubled compared to single-holder machines.

How fast does the ZX-1625V deliver compared to a classic plotter or manual cutting?

The maximum cutting speed is 1200 mm/s, with a rapid travel of 1500 mm/s — 3–5 times faster than classic cutting plotters and tens of times faster than manual cutting with a knife. Combined with automatic nesting and the vacuum system that eliminates clamping times, the ZX-1625V sustains a real industrial pace for 24/7 production.
