Router-based CNC cutting of EVA foam
NEON.BG has the equipment to cut EVA foam.
EVA foam — ethylene-vinyl acetate — is a foamed plastic material. It's a popular choice for packaging electronics and hardware, thanks to excellent impact resistance, moisture resistance, thermal insulation and chemical resistance.
Frequently Asked Questions
How thick can you cut EVA foam?
Up to 55 mm with an oscillating knife. The machine takes the knife from the tool changer itself and supplies the air for the oscillation itself.
Why not a router?
A knife removes no material. A router eats as much as its diameter on every cut.
What are the cut parts used for?
Inserts for tool cases and drawers, and protective packaging.
Which machine?
A 4-axis HARMUTH with a 4150 × 2060 mm work area.
What is EVA foam used for at sports grounds?
For protectors on the LED screens around the pitch. A part with at least 20 mm of EVA foam is fitted along the top edge so a player falling onto the screen is protected, which the regulations require. 66 metres in half a day, for example.
