Description You are bidding on The XCS (Xycorp Cutting Systems) "Xydroid" Commercial ("C") series - Hotwire Foam Cutting Machine System. This is a complete system including the computer and software. The Xydroid is a true CAD/CAM system specifically designed for cutting EPS foam into your designed shapes. Using a simple Computer Aided Drafting program, the profile of the shape desired is drawn into the computer. The shape may then be rotated, scaled, copied and nested within the drawing to maximize yield from the foam billet. The Xydroid program translates the drawing into a series of commands for the hot wire motors on the cutting table. This program also tests for drawing errors prior to beginning the actual cutting operation. The "C" series Xydroid system can cut two standard foam billets with up to 2 wires at the same time.   After loading foam onto the cutting table, the operator positions the hot wire(s) at the desired starting location and starts the automatic Computer Assisted Manufacturing system. The shapes are then automatically cut precisely as drawn with no more operator is requires until the Xydroid is finished cutting. The drawings may be saved automatically both on diskette and hard disk for use at a later time. The computer also has an Ethernet card installed for networking. Drawing can be done at a remote location. The versatile Xydroid may also be operated from the console keyboard for simple repetitive operations such as slicing, slabbing and block squaring.   Cost Reduction Benefits   Labor Savings            Other than the initial positioning of the uncut foam billets onto the cutting table and entering a few simple computer commands to begin a job, there is no operator attendance required for the cutting operation. Since no slabbing or pre-cutting is required, you will find that your labor costs for fabricating linear foam shapes will be among the lowest in the industry.   Material savings        Using the computers capabilities to rotate, copy and nest foam shapes within a foam billet, you will be able to achieve the maximum foam yield possible. Yields of 140% to 180% are not unusual. Given the current methods of pricing foam shapes by the board foot, this ability can provide a substantial boost to your profits. The computer programs we supply will automatically test each drawing file for mistakes which will prevent foam waste due to drawing errors. This feature will save a lot of foam during the training and start-up phases.   Quality Benefits   The Xydroid has been designed specifically for foam cutting. The cutting wires are moved simultaneously from both ends ensuring perfect matching of the shapes end to end. Our machine operating programs along with the precise motion components will permit you to cut even the smallest details. You will learn a few basic drawing / cutting techniques which will allow you to cut with multiple wires and multiple billets while sustaining consistent size and shape every time. Your superior product quality should translate to better pricing and better customer relationships. Specifications for the XCS Xydroid:· Installation and Training are available· Made in the USA · Welded Steel Frame and Harp Construction · Powder Coat Finish · Capability to cut two foam blocks (billets) at a time · X & Y travel: 54” x 54” · Table Size: 104” x 76” · Cross Arm length: 48” · Wire length: 104” · Easy to use Cadd Drawing Program · Belt Driven Motors · 1 Year Warranty · Built-in Computer comes complete with Flat Screen Monitor, Turn  Key drawing software, Windows XP  MADE IN THE USA !!
