What the NOTUS PLUS Delivers for
Packaging & Display Production
From corrugated packaging inserts to full retail fixture programs, the COMAGRAV NOTUS PLUS featuring a carbon fiber gantry handles the full range of materials and geometries that packaging and display fabricators encounter every day.
Corrugated & Foam Packaging
High-speed cutting of corrugated board, foam inserts, and protective packaging with oscillating knife, drag knife, and routing modules. The NOTUS PLUS vacuum table and camera registration system handle large nested sheets with consistent accuracy.
Retail Fixtures & POP Displays
MDF, plywood, acrylic, ACM, and plastic sheet processing for retail display structures, merchandise fixtures, risers, and seasonal décor. The carbon fiber gantry delivers clean edges on acrylic and consistent dado depths in MDF at high feed rates.
Exhibit & Trade Show Fabrication
Large-format scenic panels, lightweight structures, frames, and crates from foam, plywood, plastics, aluminum, and honeycomb panels. The NOTUS PLUS large bed and fast automatic tool change produce complete scenic assemblies on a single platform.
Shopfitting & Branded Environments
Custom shopfitting components, branded wall panels, display cases, and interior fixtures for retail environments. Nested-based manufacturing on MDF and plywood with 2.5D machining, dados, and joinery profiles.
Tooling Guide — Packaging & Retail Displays
| Material / Application | Best Tooling Style | Why It Works |
|---|---|---|
| Corrugated & Foam | Single-Flute Low-Helix O-Flute / Drag Knife | Prevents tear-out, reduces heat, maintains crease integrity |
| Acrylic / PMMA | Polished O-Flute (Single or Double) | Clean edges, prevents chip reweld, flame-polish quality |
| MDF / Plywood | Compression Spiral (2- or 3-flute) | Clean top and bottom edges, strong chip evacuation |
| ACM / Aluminum Composite | PCD Straight or Compression; O-Flute or Straight Carbide with DLC or ZrN coating | PCD for maximum tool life on abrasive aluminum composite panels. DLC (Diamond-Like Carbon) coating provides very low friction, high hardness, and excellent abrasion resistance for sharp edges and cool running. ZrN (Zirconium Nitride) coating improves lubricity and reduces built-up edge on aluminum and composite cores. TiAlN and ceramic hard coatings also used for extended life on abrasive ACM panels. |
| HDPE / Polycarbonate | Single-Flute O-Flute (Low Helix) | Prevents melting and chip welding in soft plastics |

Carbon Fiber Gantry Advantage
Why the Carbon Fiber Gantry
Matters for Packaging & Retail Displays
Packaging and display production is dominated by high-volume nesting, fast cycle times, and consistent edge quality across runs. The carbon fiber gantry reduces moving mass by 76.1 kg (167.8 lbs) — enabling faster acceleration between cuts, tighter cornering on complex profiles, and less vibration on thin acrylic and foam materials.
- ✓Faster acceleration between nested parts reduces cycle time per sheet
- ✓Less vibration on thin PMMA and foam prevents edge chipping
- ✓Thermal stability maintains registration accuracy across long production shifts
- ✓Lower servo motor load enables sustained 24/7 operation without overheating
- ✓Carbon fiber rigidity handles ACM and aluminum composite panels without deflection

Frequently Asked Questions
Packaging & Retail Displays CNC Routing —
Questions & Answers
Yes. Cardboard, paper sheets, and thin corrugated board are cut and creased with the Universal Cutting Tool module — not router bits. Foam and heavier packaging materials are processed with the Pneumatic or Electric Oscillating Tool. Rigid substrates like acrylic, PVC, and ACM are processed with router bits. The vacuum table and camera registration system handle large nested sheets with consistent accuracy.
The carbon fiber gantry eliminates the vibration and chatter that cause micro-chatter on acrylic edges. With polished O-flute tooling, the NOTUS PLUS produces near-flame-polish edge quality directly from the cut — reducing or eliminating secondary finishing on PMMA and acrylic display components.
Yes. The carbon fiber gantry reduces mechanical stress on servo motors, linear guides, and drive components — extending service intervals and enabling sustained 24/7 operation. The lower moving mass means motors run cooler and draw less current, which is critical for continuous production environments.
The NOTUS PLUS is available in four working area configurations: 2100×1600 mm (82.7"×63.0"), 2100×3150 mm (82.7"×124.0"), 2100×4200 mm (82.7"×165.4"), and 2100×6200 mm (82.7"×244.1") — covering everything from standard sheet sizes to ultra-wide format packaging and display production.
