Hot-wire cutting machine SNIPER

for EPSfor foam panelsblocks

Description
The SNIPER series by Nettuno Sistemi is an industrial line of CNC hot-wire foam cutting machines suited for high-volume production. Available models: Sniper 120P, Sniper 400I and Sniper Infinity. Main frame in large anodised aluminium and steel profiles; table top in high-density compact fibreboard. Configurable with optional tools for complex shapes and production workflows.

Applications

• Construction and architecture
• Displays, POS and exhibition stands
• Scenography and set design
• Interior design and furniture prototyping
• Moulds and models manufacturing
• Signage and lettering

Materials

• EPS (expanded polystyrene)
• XPS (extruded polystyrene)
• Rigid foam and specialty foams

Key features

• High-precision cutting: electronically controlled hot wire for smooth, low-residue cuts in low-density foams.
• Intuitive control: Nettuno Cutter interface with handheld controller for fast setup and complex path programming.
• Multiple models: different cutting capacities to match block sizes and production volumes (Sniper 120P, Sniper 400I, Sniper Infinity).
• Robust structure: anodised aluminium and painted steel profiles with high-density compact panel table top for stable processing.
• Automatic wire tensioning: Nettuno tensioner available on Infinity; external potentiometer for wire temperature control.

Benefits

• Reduced waste: hot-wire cutting melts material, minimising dust and offcuts.
• Versatility: suitable for large industrial production and intricate shapes for display or prototyping.
• Energy efficiency: optimised design for consistent performance with controlled energy consumption.
