The CF3 series incorporates three exchangeable head types (router head, tangential head or reciprocating head) which allow for cutting a wide range of materials. Switching heads can be done relatively quick. Other tools, such as  swivel cutter, pen tool, and creasing tool, are also available.

Router Model

Rigid materials, such as acrylic and aluminium, can be cut with a high speed spindle. The router model is especially suitable to cut: rigid and thicker materials (see also suitable cutting materials and applications).

Specifications:

• - Spindle speed : max. 60,000 rpm
• - Max. tool diameter : 6 mm
• - Tool chuck / clamp system : collet type
• - Max. cutting depth : 5 cm (depending on material)

Tangential Model

The tangential cutter steers the blade as it cuts. The motor controlled blade lifts and turns to start every cut at the exact angle. Both half and die cutting is possible. Various materials, ranging from soft to ridged, can be cut. The cutting capabilities and cutting depth depend on the type of material. Any suitable blade available in the market can be mounted (see also suitable cutting materials and applications)

Specifications:

• Vertical tool force: low pressure head - 300g, 1500g high pressure head - 1000g, 5000g
• Tools: tangential cutter, swivel cutter / pen, creasing tool
• Max. cutting depth: 1 cm

Reciprocating Model

A reciprocating cutting system is characterised by the up-and-down movement of the cutter blade in addition to tangential cutting. The reciprocating cutter is especially suitable to cut corrugated board, cardboard and foam materials. Creasing tools are available to produce creases in cardboards and corrugated boards. You can also cut materials that can be cut with the tangential model.

Specifications:

• Max. reciprocating speed: approx. 10,000 strokes / min.
• Stroke: 1 mm (depending on cutter and holder)
• Tools: reciprocating cutter, swivel cutter / pen, creasing tool, high pressure tangential cutter
• Max. cutting depth: 2 cm (depending on cutter and holder)
