SILHOUETTE 1000

Big Machine Features, Small Machine Price

The SILHOUETTE 1000 is ideally suited for a fabricating shop or maintenance department needing a high quality, photo-optical controlled shape cutting system.

Precise motion provides stable, accurate cutting over a wide speed range. All the features combine into a system that gives the SILHOUETTE 1000 the precision and stability needed for consistent accurate cutting. Rack-and-pinion drives, rugged cross beam and hardened round rails are standard equipment. Cutting and tracing widths of 4 or 6 (1219 and 1829 mm) are available. With optional rail extensions and extra tracing tables, length can be established as required for your application. A moveable tracing table and easy-to-use HL-90 Optical Tracer will let you cut parts faster and easier. The HL-90 will give you years of dependable service tracing lines as narrow as 0.030 (0.762 mm), at speeds from 2 - 118 per minute (50.8 - 3000 mm/m). Forward offset provides accurate corner cuts, while kerf compensation is adjustable up to 1/8 (3 mm). Cutting parameters controlled from the HL-90 control panel include: direction of travel; speed; operating mode; power and cutting oxygen.

Choose a process station configuration that best suits your needs. A SILHOUETTE 1000 has the capacity to accomodate up to five cutting stations. Station configurations can include four oxygen/fuel-gas torches, one plasma torch, or a combination of up to four oxygen/ fuel-gas stations and one plasma station. Optional motorized lifts are available as well as a festoon system to ease cable and hose movement along the rail. Expand productivity and material usage with a computer numerical controlled machine. Add the Vision LE CNC to your SILHOUETTE 1000 and automate your cutting operations. The cutting process will be faster, more accurate and more productive. Part programs can be created directly from templates. All cutting functions and machine travel are controlled quickly and accurately. In addition, parts can be nested to increase efficient material use.
