Nettuno Sistemi Infinity Sniper

What you can make

Perfect CNC cutting machines for any kind of cutting, whether large or small, detailed shapes, thanks to their versatility. With the hot wire foam cutter Sniper, you can produce small, highly detailed 3D foam letters, logos, signs, decorated EPS cornices/parapets, prototypes, or large shapes for the industrial sector, such as polystyrene panels, sheets, external insulating boards, moldings, precast, insulated shutter-box, roof insulation boards, decorative elements, swimming pool design and components, packaging boxes, or protective materials, movie sets, scenography, spa/sauna beds, and seats.

Processable Foam

• EPS (Expanded Polystyrene)
• XPS (Extruded Polystyrene)
• Rigid foam

Movable tabletop

Loading the expanded polystyrene block has never been easier. With the movable tabletop of the machine, simply slide the main bench on its recirculating ball bearing guides, running on rails, to quickly and effortlessly load a new foam block. Moreover, executing the cutting process with the Shapeable Wire is easy, even for large Styrofoam blocks. The smooth and perfectly leveled tabletop ensures precise cutting, even for small shapes.

Adaptable structure

The Infinity Sniper structure can be rapidly extended using accurate rails fixed on the ground. This allows cutting expanded polystyrene blocks up to 4,200 mm long. (Sniper can be customized upon request to cut EPS blocks up to 5,000 mm long). As a result, Sniper can be adapted for processing both large and very small shapes with fine details. Its versatility allows the installation of cutting wires with different diameters: 0.20, 0.25, 0.30, 0.40, 0.50 mm.

Working with Infinity Sniper is like having more than one CNC foam cutter, as it can adapt to any cutting process for expanded polystyrene, from small foam letters to large shapes.

Cutting Wire Inclination

By reducing the dimensions of the main structure and using rails fixed on the ground, the machine achieves a higher wire inclination compared to a machine with a fixed structure. This increased angle of inclination allows for cutting unique conical and tapered EPS shapes that would be difficult to achieve with a standard machine.

Automatic wire tension system

Infinity Sniper CNC cutting machine is equipped with an advanced “automatic wire tensioner,” developed by Nettuno Sistemi after years of research. Competitors worldwide have poorly copied it.

The PC-controlled Nettuno Tensioner enables the cutting wire to reach the maximum inclination between axes, without any limitations for foam conical/tapered cuts. It uses a spool of wire that is pulled or released during the cutting process with independent axes, maintaining constant wire tension for the best cutting accuracy.

Carver

Using the shapeable wire makes it easy to create polystyrene shapes with grooves or engravings. Installed on the slider of the CNC foam cutter, it follows the path drawn in CAD.

The combination of handcraft accuracy and CNC technology results in unique curved models that a standard straight cutting wire cannot achieve. This tool is ideal for creating foam moldings and decorations, such as capitals, foam columns, pillars, parapets, crowns, and much more. The cutting process, when combined with a Vertical or Horizontal turntable, allows for creating stunning decorated foam twisted columns and a lot more.

Vertical Turntable

The Vertical Turntable, also known as the rotating table, is an optional tool used for cutting 3D foam shapes, whether symmetrical or asymmetrical, irregular, spheres, columns, 3D foam characters, and figures.

This optional tool can be combined with the Shapeable Wire to create grooves on 3D Styrofoam shapes, adding intricate details similar to those seen on coke bottles. The versatility of the Vertical Turntable enhances the creative possibilities and precision in crafting foam sculptures and designs.

Horizontal Lathe

The Horizontal Turntable / Lathe is used to process large 3D Styrofoam shapes or sculptures from long EPS blocks and/or foam cylinders. It cuts complex expanded polystyrene spiral columns, fluted columns, twisted columns, capitals, and many other 3D objects, often combined with the shapeable wire.

The main difference between the Vertical Turntable and Horizontal Lathe is that the latter can process longer foam blocks, as it cuts along the entire length of the X axis. This feature allows for handling larger foam blocks, enabling the creation of impressive and intricate foam sculptures and designs.

Multiple Wire Harp

The Multiple wire version of the Infinity Sniper CNC cutting machine can simultaneously cut a foam block with more than one wire (you can set it from 1 up to 20 cutting wires).

This allows processing multiple pieces of the same shape in series with just one movement of the harp through the foam block. The multiple wire version can also work with a single wire, easily and quickly removing the harp. When operating with a multiple wire harp, the cutting wires are tensioned by springs, and once the harp is removed, the automatic tensioner Nettuno regulates the wire tension.

Our multiple wire CNC cutting machines are recommended for series production of the same profiles, making them ideal for creating cornices, parapets, architectural foam decorations, moldings, insulation boards, EPS/XPS panels (used for the external wall insulation system – EIFS), insulated shutter boxes, packaging, etc.

Clevel

The intelligent cutting wire speed system, Clevel, is an automatic feed rate adjustment (conceived and patented by Nettuno Sistemi) that detects the alignment of the cutting wire and adjust the feed rate (cutting speed) of the axes accordingly. It optimizes the cutting wire speed based on the foam’s different densities being cut by the machine.

Clevel processes all these data automatically and in real-time. By installing Clevel on Nettuno Sistemi’s CNC hot-wire foam cutters, operators can avoid mistakes and achieve higher cutting accuracy. This ensures a more precise cutting process, avoiding inaccuracies that may occur when the foam cutting machine operates without preliminary control of the mentioned parameters and continuous monitoring of the cutting process.

Versatile

What makes Infinity Sniper special is its versatility, allowing for a wide range of applications. Its dynamic and adaptable structure, with adjustable Z axes and wire length from 1300 to 4200 mm, enables the installation of wires with various diameters (ranging from 0.20 to 0.50 mm). This versatility allows for cutting both small, detailed foam shapes and large industrial pieces with the highest level of accuracy. Infinity Sniper’s flexibility makes it an exceptional choice for diverse cutting requirements.

Accurate

The combination of a robust structure made from durable aluminum/steel profiles and axes running on ball bearing guides results in the most precise CNC foam-cutting machine available in the market. This powerful combination ensures superior cutting accuracy and reliability, making it a top choice for foam cutting applications.

Easy to use

The operator can effortlessly execute complex cuts with ease, thanks to the advanced and intuitive software provided by Nettuno Sistemi. This software efficiently manages all the different steps of the foam cutting process, making it a seamless and user-friendly experience for the operator.
