A record twenty-two finalists for the 2010 competition have been announced by the Challenges Award judges. Sixty-five companies entered 80 new products for the 2010 Challengers Award. BENZ Inc. is one of them, presenting its new Reciprocating Knife Cutter - RCK1
is designed to add a new level of versatility to a "C"-axis equipped CNC machine. It utilizes a standard spoil board to hold material. During cutting with the oscillating knife cutter the spring-loaded floating ring ensures optimum contact of the material with the surface underneath. Similar to a jigsaw, very small radiuses can be cut.
The very high reciprocating speed of up to 6.000 strokes per minutes ensures very effective machining with high federate speeds.
The RCK1 is designed to cut cloth, fabric, leather, veneers, rubber, carpet, cork, vinyl, fiberglass matte, cardboard, linoleum and other similar products.
