- Holder for secure fixation - can be electrostatic, magnetic or vacuum type.
- Movable carriage with cutting tool - moves longitudinally and transversely.
Full control of the carriage movement, which means the entire cutting procedure according to the specified dimensional parameters, is carried out through the equipment interface, to which it is connected at choice:
