The EA2 head combination (spindle + dual tool holders + CCD pen) is a modular configuration solution for multi-material mixed processing scenarios, assembled from a spindle module, a dual tool holder module, and a CCD visual positioning component. The spindle handles milling and grooving tasks for hard plates, the dual tool holders can simultaneously load an oscillating knife and a creasing/bevel-cutting tool to respectively complete cutting and crease forming of soft materials, and the CCD vision component is responsible for contour recognition and positioning cutting of printed materials. This combination integrates hard and soft material processing capabilities into the same machine head, reducing tool changes and secondary clamping, making it suitable for production needs with diverse order categories and large material spans.
Core Features
- Spindle milling of hard materials: The spindle module can mill, groove, and contour hard panels with smooth cuts, meeting the forming requirements of structural parts and support layers.
- Dual tool holders for soft material cutting and creasing: The two tool positions can be equipped with an oscillating knife and a creasing knife (or bevel knife) respectively, completing cutting and creasing of soft materials in a single pass, eliminating the need for mid-process tool changes.
- CCD vision positioning cutting: The CCD pen component identifies printed marks and pattern contours, enabling positioning cutting of printed materials and sticker-type materials, reducing manual alignment deviations.
- Soft and hard materials processed on the same machine: The spindle and tool holder are switched and called by program, allowing hard grooving and soft material cutting to be completed continuously on the same workpiece, reducing the number of setups.
- Modular configuration on demand: Modules such as tool holders, spindles, and CCD use modular interfaces, so configurations can be added or removed according to process changes, facilitating subsequent expansion and maintenance.
Applicable Materials and Industries
This combination is suitable for materials such as corrugated cardboard, honeycomb cardboard, cardstock, PVC foam board, thin acrylic sheets, composite materials, leather, fabric, and printed stickers. Typical applications include packaging prototyping and small-batch production, advertising display products, automotive interior parts, die-cutting of electronic auxiliary materials, and positioned cutting of printed materials, and it is especially suitable for working conditions in which soft and hard materials are processed alternately in the same workshop.
Selection and Configuration Recommendations
The spindle power of this combination is 2.2kW, and with different knives it can meet the common power requirements for grooving, engraving, and cutting hard panels.
If the processing requirements involve both grooving of hard plates and cutting/creasing of soft materials, and require CCD positioning for printed materials, the EA2 model is a more balanced choice; users mainly focused on single soft material cutting can simplify to a configuration with the spindle omitted. This combination can be used with an automatic feeding platform, roll material feeder, and layout cutting software, calling different modules through software layer settings to achieve continuous production.

The modular design of the EA2 head combination makes it stand out in packaging proofing and small-batch production scenarios. The spindle module adopts 2.2kW power and is capable of milling and slotting hard board materials, with flat cuts and no burrs; the dual-tool holder configuration features an oscillating knife and a creasing knife, completing cutting and creasing of soft materials in a single pass, eliminating the time needed for mid-process tool changes. The CCD vision component identifies printed marks with a positioning accuracy of ±0.1 mm, ensuring accurate cutting of printed materials. This combination reduces the number of clamping operations and suits production needs with diverse order categories and a wide material range.
In the advertising display and automotive interior industries, the EA2 head combination can handle thin acrylic sheets, PVC foam boards, leather, and composite materials. The spindle and knife holder are switched and called by program, allowing hard grooving and soft material cutting to be completed continuously on the same workpiece, reducing secondary clamping errors. The CCD vision positioning function is particularly suitable for contour cutting of printed stickers and signs, reducing manual alignment deviations. The modular interface supports quick addition or removal of configurations, with expansion time not exceeding 30 minutes, facilitating subsequent process upgrades and maintenance.
When selecting a model, if the processing requirements involve both grooving of hard panels and cutting/creasing of soft materials, and CCD positioning is needed for printed materials, the EA2 model is a balanced choice; users mainly cutting a single soft material can simplify to a configuration with the spindle omitted. This combination can be paired with an automatic feeding platform, a roll feeding rack, and layout cutting software, calling different modules through software layering settings to achieve continuous production. It is recommended to adjust the spindle speed and feed rate according to material thickness and precision requirements to achieve optimal performance.
