Openwork lettering: pantograph cutting for thick materials
Openwork lettering in silver-plated brass, cut out using pantograph cut.
The pantograph is an extremely versatile tool, capable of cutting and engraving a variety of materials with ease and precision. What makes it unique is its ability to handle materials of any thickness, unlike other machines available on the market.
- High precision and repeatability: CNC pantographs are capable of making extremely precise cuts with tight tolerances, and of replicating the same part numerous times with virtually identical results. This is essential for mass production and for the manufacture of components requiring fine detail.
- Versatility of materials: although they are particularly widely used for machining plastics and wood, CNC routers can also machine aluminium, brass and copper.
- flexibility and customisation: as they are software-controlled, CNC pantographs allow designs to be modified quickly and enable the production of unique or highly customised parts without the need to change tools or complex equipment.
- suitable for varying thicknesses: pantographs can work on materials of different thicknesses, from thin sheets to thicker slabs, depending on the power and robustness of the machine and the tool used.
- automation and reduction of human error: numerical control automates the process, drastically reducing the need for manual intervention during machining. This minimises human error, increases productivity and also allows for unmanned machining.
- no cost for specialised tools: unlike other processes that require moulds or dedicated equipment, the pantograph works directly from the digital file, eliminating additional set-up costs.
