Tool unit
This tool unit is mounted in the heavy duty tool position on the XP and is
capable of a down-pressure equivalent to 50kg – 110lbs; sufficient to crease
triple and double-wall corrugated with heavy liners, when configured with the
large-size crease wheels with 150mm – 6” diameter. The large-size wheels
also provide superior crease quality with recycled corrugated board, since a
higher pressure can be applied without cracking the liner.
The HDU comes with a powerful head-rotation mechanism, required to
accommodate the various v-notch adapters and HD knife tools that have
been developed for triple-wall corrugated and other strong and rigid
paperboard constructions. These tools are optional (not included).
Included tooling:
• Three 150 mm (6” ) crease wheels; a 4-point, a 6-point and a V-shaped wheel for triple wall.
• Crease adapter for 26 mm (1”) diameter wheels, plus a 3point and a 6point / 26mm crease wheel.

The Foam Cutting Unit is mounted in the heavy duty tool position on the XP. It
features a reciprocating knife blade, which permits foam material up to 50mm
(2”) in thickness to be cut.
Two different adapters are included, one for the SR63xx series of blades for
cutting up to 30mm (1 ¼”) material thickness, another for the SR65xx series of
blades up to 55mm (2 ¼”) thickness. Two blades of each type (see picture) are
also included.
This tool unit is mounted in the heavy duty tool position of the XP.
The included spindle features a true 1kW of milling power, and adjustable spindle
speeds up to 60,000 RPM. It allows for milling, contour cutting, routing, drilling
and engraving directly from CAD/graphics designs. Materials with thickness up to
50mm (2”) can be milled. (Note: 50mm thickness is only applicable with certain
bits and for certain, light materials.)
Matched with heavy-duty construction and the sophisticated Z-axis control of the
XP tables, the router delivers high quality output at an impressive throughput rate
– making the High-Speed Milling Unit a great tool for real production work.
The milling tool comes with a function to safeguard the spindle towards
unbalanced bits run at too high RPM settings. It also features a switch operated
chuck for fast and tool-free bit exchange, and in combination with the automatic
tool measurement feature milling bit exchange is really safe and efficient.
Due to the high acceleration of the XP the milling tool comes with a free-standing
gallows for carrying the chip suction hose and the electrical cables for the milling
spindle. In order to reach all over the table the XP gallows needs to be quite
high, up to 3m – 9’10” – for the XP46, somewhat lower for the XP24/44.
The milling spindle comes with a Ø6mm collet as standard. Optionally available are ¼’ and 3mm collets.
Milling underlays
Included with the High-Speed Milling Unit is a set of milling underlays made of hard pressed felt. Section sizes
and numbers as per the table below. The felt underlay is about 3mm thick and is placed on top of the standard
PVC cutting mat.
Reciprocating knife tool suitable for corrugated board and other light-duty fibrous materials. An internal
electrical motor provides knife reciprocation.
To reduce material tear and also to keep the material down as the knife is pulled out, a detachable
plastic cup is included
Different knife adapters allow for different knife types.
The tool has to be removed from the Z-carriage for knife blade replacement.

Special variant of the reciprocating knife tool for cutting a lot of different materials, such as foamboard,
and corrugated with high recycled content.
It runs at twice the frequency and four times the amplitude of the standard VibraCut knife tool. These
properties, along with a more powerful motor, enable cutting of heavily recycled board at efficient speed.
To reduce material tear and also to keep the material down as the knife is pulled out, a detachable
plastic cup is included.
Different knife adapters allow for different knife types.
The tool has to be removed from the Z-carriage for knife blade replacement.
Maximum cutting thickness is blade dependant:
Max 20mm – 3/4” with the short foot,
Max 30mm – 1 1/4 ” with the long foot.

The RM Knife extends the capabilities for knife cutting of rigid materials. The knife blades and tool are
designed such as the blades with cylindrical 8mm shaft are mounted directly in the tool body.
This design gives the tool excellent performance when cutting in rigid materials such as display carton,
rigid plastics such as Forex and polypropylene as well as many qualities of gasket materials.
Appropriate blades: 21, 22, 23. For knife blade descriptions, see own section in this document.

An adapter for using crease wheels with diameter 26mm [1”] in the HDU is available as an option. The
application of this adapter is to enable a smaller sized wheel for micro flutes and folding carton.
It will also allow creasing of plastic corrugated with smaller wheels and heavy crease power, which normally
has a good effect on defeating the 'memory' of the plastic material.
The standard Ø26mm crease wheels will fit the adapter, with no need for resetting the height reference when
the adapter replaces the Ø150mm crease wheel.

Crease Blades
For creasing thin, synthetic materials such as polypropylene and polyethylene (PET)
These crease tips scribe into the material and provide a more distinct fold line than a wheel, due to the
smaller impact area. The blades fits the HiForce knife tool with adapter for 212/213 blades (97AR452)
