What To Use To Cut Polyester Fiber Felt Acoustic Panel

Here are some different devices and tools for cutting acoustic panels and their characteristics:

Utility knife

- Advantages: the utility knife is small in size. Low cost, easy to use, and easy to carry. Suitable for fine straight line cutting, can better control the cutting direction and length. It is more convenient for small acoustic panel cutting tasks or in places with limited space.

- Disadvantages: when cut thicker acoustic panels, may need several forceful cuts, This will make your hands very tired and cutting speed is very slow. It is more difficult to cut complex shapes such as curves and arcs.

Hand saw

- Advantages: It can handle acoustic panels of different thicknesses and is easier to use for straight lines and certain angles. It is more labour saving than the utility knife and the cutting speed is relatively fast.

- Disadvantages: It requires a certain amount of working space and is not as convenient to carry as the utility knife. It requires a certain amount of strength and skill from the user, otherwise, it can cause an uneven cut.

Electric saw

- Advantages: High cutting efficiency, can quickly complete the cutting tasks of a large number of acoustic panels. It can easily cut complex shapes and curves to meet different design requirements.

- Disadvantages:  the saw rotates very fast and the saw is very sharp. there is a risk during operation. the electric makes a lot of noise and a lot of dust, so need to be very careful to use it.

Oscillating knife cutting machine

Advantages:

Oscillating knife cutting machines have many advantages over manual cutting methods.

1. High cutting accuracy:

- The PET felt cutting machine uses CNC technology and can make precise cutting according to the CAD drawings. The cut acoustic panels are accurate in size and have clean edges. It helps to improve the installation accuracy and aesthetics of the acoustic panels. For some acoustic panel installation scenarios with high size and shape requirements, the acoustic panels cut by felt cutting machine can better meet the design requirements.

2. Fast cutting speed: Compared with traditional manual cutting ways, the cutting speed of the acoustic panel cutter is much faster. It can greatly improve production efficiency. Especially for companies that mass-produce acoustic panels, a large number of cutting tasks can be completed in a shorter time.

3. Wide range of applications: The acoustic insulation cutting machine can cut sound-absorbing panels of various shapes and sizes. from simple straight line cutting to complex curve and special shape cutting, all can be easily cut by the machine. This enables it to meet the diverse needs for the shape and design of acoustic board.

4. High material utilization rate: By optimizing the layout of CAD drawings, the acoustic panel cutting machine can minimize the waste of acoustic felt board materials and improve the material utilization rate. This can reduce production costs.

5. Pollution free: The felt cutter machine does not produce smoke or dust. So it has a low impact on the environment and the health of operators.

6. Easy operation: The operator only needs to input the CAD drawings into the CNC system of the CNC knife cutting machine. Then the digital cutting machine can automatically complete the cutting operation. It doesn't beed too high professional skills and experience. After simple training, the operator can master the use of the vibratory knife cutting machine.

7. Multiple functions: In addition to the cutting function, cutting felt machine also have functions such as grooving and punching. It can perform various fine processing on the acoustic felt board to enhance the functionality and decoration of the polyester fiber acoustic board.

Disadvantages:

High equipment cost: The biggest disadvantage is the cost of the felt cut machine. The PET felt cutting machine is a relatively advanced CNC equipment with a relatively high price. Therefore, cutting machines are more suitable for purchase and use by factories that carry out large-scale processing. For some small enterprises or individual users, the cost of purchasing the equipment may be a heavy burden.
