TruTool FCN 250 Fiber Composite Nibbler

Description

The benefits of nibbling technology can now also be utilized for a wide range of fiber composite materials such as carbon fiber, glass fiber, or even aramid fiber composite materials. With the TruTool FCN 250 Fiber Composite Nibbler, you will be able to cut components with a material thickness of up to 2.5 millimeters. The machine can be used in all industries where lightweight components are used – from the sport and leisure industry, to prototype manufacturing, right through to the aviation and aerospace and automotive industries.

Manual cutting of fiber composite materials poses a real challenge in terms of precision and clean cutting edges. This often results in fraying and delamination. Additionally, cutting material can produce smoke and dust which poses a health hazard. Using the first nibbler for cutting fiber composite materials of all types makes these challenges a thing of the past. The 360° tool means that the machine can be rotated on the spot. This allows you to quickly and precisely process three dimensional workpieces as well as inaccessible areas, and always have a clear view of the cutting line. The machine also stands out due to its excellent performance on curves. The machine is ready to use fast. No setting work is required. You also work without feed force, which makes for swift, effortless work.

◾Chips and minimal dust. Nibbling produces only very little dust. This preserves health and increases occupational safety.
◾Compact, lightweight, and ergonomic. The TruTool FCN 250 rests comfortably in the hand as it weighs only about 1.8 kg and features optimal weight distribution. You work  without feed force and so reduce the force required to a minimum. This makes work swift and effortless.
◾No delamination or fraying. With the TruTool FCN 250 you can cut with excellent dimensional accuracy and achieve a clean cutting edge.
◾Change without tools.You can change dies and punches quickly without additional tools.

More meters, lower costs

The punch and die achieve an exceptionally high service life through the use of extremely hard cutting materials. This negates the need for a costly diamond coating, leading to a comparative drop in costs for consumables. This makes the process an economically efficient solution with cost savings of up to 50% per meter, in comparison to conventional processes. For example, with a material thickness of 2 mm you can cut about 150 meters with the punch and about 300 meters with the die before they need to be replaced.

Chips and virtually no dust

The punched material comes out in the form of chips, which can be swept up without kicking up dust. There is also the option of having the chips discharged directly via a compact dust extractor. In comparison to competitor processes, nibbling produces only very little dust. This considerably increases occupational safety and comfort at work.
