SC Standard
Fixed-bed SC platforms for sign shops, display producers and packaging sample rooms — five bed sizes from compact 1300 × 1100 mm to 2000 × 3000 mm industrial format.
Five Standard bed sizes — knife, crease and router in one setup.
High-speed servo cutting for signage, display and packaging throughput — material dependent.
3D air-guiding duct design with honeycomb aluminium bed — stronger material stability across the full cut area.
Next-generation motion architecture — faster diagonal cuts and improved edge quality on complex paths.
Handles sheet stock, roll-fed work and irregular outlines for POS, banners and vehicle graphics.
SC PRO
SC PRO uses the same platform and bed sizes as Standard — the tier difference is factory configuration for the optional 350W router tool attachment when you need routing alongside knife and crease work.
Four PRO bed formats — identical to Standard except 350W router factory option.
SC PRO is factory-configured for the optional 350W router spindle — the only tier difference from SC Standard on the same bed size.
Identical servo motion, vacuum bed, oscillating knife, drag knife and plotting tools as Standard — routing added when your materials need it.
PRO variants mirror Standard cutting areas from 1300 × 2500 mm through 2000 × 3000 mm industrial sheet.
DCT tooling
Configure each SC platform with the cutting, creasing and marking heads your materials demand. SC PRO adds factory support for the 350W router attachment — the only tier difference from Standard on matching bed sizes.
High-frequency oscillating cut for corrugated board, honeycomb, KT board, PVC foam and thicker substrates.
Surface-layer cutting for labels, vinyl films and printed adhesive materials with camera alignment.
Fast through-cutting on materials up to 5 mm thick where oscillating speed is not required.
Registration mark scanning for contour cutting on pre-printed displays, packaging and signage.
Greyboard, honeycomb and cardboard grooving at adjustable angles for folds and structural POS.
Cut and mill acrylic, ACM, MDF, PVC foam and wood up to 20 mm depending on material. The 350W router attachment is the factory option on SC PRO — the only tier difference from Standard on matching bed sizes.
Textiles, banner fabric, dry carbon fibre and woven materials up to 8 mm thick.
EPP, EVA, pearl cotton and sponge materials up to 50 mm thick.
Packaging crease lines, anti-crack scoring on corrugated and controlled tear perforations.
Customer case study
Unicon Ltd needed a more agile way to handle smaller volume orders and one-off packaging samples. Relying on traditional wood form tooling was costly and inflexible — the switch to digital eliminated tooling costs, enabled rapid prototyping and improved finished quality.
The machine has given us faster turnaround for smaller volume orders and allowed us to provide one-off samples without committing to tooling costs during early design stages. We also now have more control over the quality of the finished product.
Applications
SC digital cutting tables excel on non-metallic flexible and semi-rigid materials — signage, lightboxes, POS displays, flags, banners, vehicle graphics and packaging board.

A Digital Cutting Table (DCT) is an advanced, high-speed cutting machine designed to process a wide variety of materials with exceptional precision and efficiency. These machines can cut foam, rubber, plastic, paper, fabrics, cardboard, reboard, carbon fibre fabric, and more, making them a versatile solution for industries such as packaging, signage, textiles, and composites.
DCT High-Speed Digital Cutting Machines are engineered for pinpoint accuracy and rapid operation, reaching speeds of up to 1,200 mm/s with a precision of 0.01 mm. This ensures clean, detailed cuts while reducing material waste and improving productivity.
These cutting machines operate using a digital control system, which seamlessly integrates with CAD/CAM software. The process includes:
Our DCT systems can be configured with a variety of cutting tools, including:
Available in Standard and Electric models, the Oscillating Cutting Tool is ideal for processing a wide range of materials with precision and efficiency. It is commonly used for cutting corrugated board, honeycomb board, fluted core (Correx), flexo plates, KT panels, Foamex, carpets, corrugated plastics, thin plastics (HIPS, PP sheets), gaskets, leather, and flexo glass, making it a versatile solution for diverse industries.
Our advanced Optical Recognition System ensures precise cutting of pre-printed substrates, such as UV-printed cardboard displays, signage, and packaging materials. The integrated camera scans registration marks and aligns them with the designated cut path in your file, guaranteeing high-accuracy contour cutting for perfectly finished projects.
Ideal for cutting honeycomb board, greyboard, and reboard, the Multi-Angled V-Cut Tool features an adjustable blade that allows for precise folding and bevel cutting. With cutting angles of 0°, 15°, 22.5°, 30°, and 45°, this tool enhances structural design capabilities, making it perfect for packaging, displays, and architectural modelling.
Upgrade your Digital Cutting Table with a router tool, allowing you to process a broader range of materials with precision. This versatile addition enables cutting and engraving on acrylic, Dibond/ACM board, MDF, epoxy panels, PVC board, PAL board, and wood, with cutting depths of up to 15mm, depending on the material. Perfect for signage, displays, and industrial applications.
Our Rotary tool is the perfect companion to process fabrics, carbon fibre/glass fibre, fur, grid cloth, textiles, banner/flag materials. This tool can process up to 8mm in thickness.
The plotting pen attachment is perfect for sketching/marking out designs onto materials with high accuracy and speed.
Perfect for processing thin multi-layered materials such as printed vinyl, vinyl, reflective vinyl and magnetic sheets (can also be pr-printed).
The Perforation Tool is perfect for creating tear-away sections on various materials. Ideal for applications such as tissue boxes, food packaging, and promotional displays, this tool enables easy-to-remove sections while maintaining material integrity, ensuring clean, controlled perforations for efficient packaging solutions.
