Build your NOTUS PLUS around the work you produce. Compare routing spindles, MultiHead cutting modules and interchangeable U1 tools by material and operation.
From rigid panels to flexible media, bring the cutting tool, hold-down, registration and software together as one production workflow.
Choose a process to find the relevant tool family. Material construction, thickness and required finish remain part of the configuration—not just the material name.
Start with the routing spindle for profile cutting, engraving, pockets and shaped parts in acrylic, wood, MDF, rigid plastics, aluminum and suitable composite panels. Match the cutter and setup to the stock and required finish.
Compare spindle optionsOscillating and rotary modules extend the NOTUS PLUS beyond routing. Compare POT, EOT and MCD for soft, flexible, fibrous and roll-media work rather than forcing every material into a router-bit workflow.
Explore MultiHead modulesU1 knife, creaser, marking, cutting-wheel, KISSCUT and VCUT tools cover different finishing operations. Packaging board is cut and creased with the appropriate tools; ACM fold lines use a routing spindle and V-groove router bit.
Browse the U1 tool libraryCamera registration aligns the cutting workflow to printed media. It does not replace the cutting module: select a spindle, knife, creaser or kiss-cut tool for the actual substrate and finishing operation.
Review the complete workflow| Operation | Material / workflow | Tool family | Configuration | Selection boundary |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Route / engrave | Acrylic, wood, MDF, rigid plastics | Routing spindle | Spindle package; ATC where specified | Cutter, tool shank, stock thickness and finish |
| Oscillating cut | Foam, rubber, gaskets, corrugated or flexible media | POT / EOT | Application-selected MultiHead module | Blade, material structure, module and hold-down |
| Rotary cut | Flexible roll media | MCD | Motorized cutting-disc module | Disc selection, material support and cut geometry |
| Knife cut / crease | Cardboard, paper, folding carton | U1 knife / creaser tools | U1A or U1B setup as specified | Blade and wheel choice; crease is not a through-cut |
| Kiss cut | Suitable pressure-sensitive media | U1 KISSCUT | U1 module and kiss-cut tooling | Liner, face film and depth setup |
| V-cut / fold | Suitable packaging board; ACM as a separate process | U1 VCUT / routing V-groove bit | Match the tool family to the material | U1 VCUT is not the same operation as routed ACM grooving |
| Registered contour cut | Printed sheet or roll media | Camera + cutting module | Registration and compatible file workflow | The substrate still determines the cutting tool |
Compare the operation first; finalize the tool, spindle or module, workholding and material setup together. On smaller screens, scroll the table to see all five columns.
The high-torque HSD configuration and high-frequency spindle option serve different routing requirements. Compare the actual spindle package, not a combination of unrelated maximum figures.
The HSD routing spindle uses pneumatic clamping, ISO30 taper and ER32 collet holders. This configuration includes ceramic bearings, fan cooling and stepless frequency-converter regulation.
S6 and S1 identify the separate duty ratings supplied for this spindle configuration.
Explore the high-frequency spindle option for fine engraving, acrylic work and small-diameter tooling. Specify its power, tool interface and ATC arrangement separately from the 13.2 kW package.
NOTUS PLUS supports linear and carousel magazine configurations. The 8-tool figure above belongs to the listed linear package; magazine capacity and tool-presence sensing follow the selected ATC arrangement.
Add a rotary workflow for cylindrical workpieces such as round-stock engraving and routed components. Include workpiece size and the intended operation in the configuration discussion.
DiBond and ACM fold-line preparation uses V-groove router bits in the routing spindle. This panel-routing process is distinct from the knife-based U1 VCUT tool family.
Explore panel applicationsFive module profiles cover oscillating, rotary and universal-tool workflows. Match the module to the operation, then select the blade, wheel or interchangeable tool for the material.
An oscillating-blade option for foam, corrugated plastics, rubber, gaskets and thick flexible materials. Select the blade and setup for the material construction and thickness.
An electric-drive oscillating knife for leather, synthetic leather, textiles and flexible-media work. Match the blade and cutting setup to the specific material and required edge.
A rotary-disc cutting option for flexible roll-media workflows. Select the disc, material support and cutting approach around the job rather than treating every flexible material alike.
A universal module for interchangeable U1 tools, including knives, creaser wheels, marking, KISSCUT and VCUT options. Match the tool head to the cutting or finishing operation.
The U1B configuration supports the cutting and creasing workflows shown in the NOTUS PLUS tool range. Specify the required U1 tooling and fold-line operation with the module package.
Compare 13 U1 tool options: knives, creaser wheels, marking, cutting wheel, KISSCUT and VCUT heads. The named head and its module configuration belong together on the tooling specification.

Include workholding, material handling, registration, extraction and software in the same discussion as the spindle and modules. These are configuration inputs, not interchangeable accessories.
Define the sheet or roll dimensions, thickness, part size and material structure. Discuss the table, vacuum or clamping approach and support required for the operation.
Specify dust or chip handling and any application-dependent cooling with the machine package. Include material-specific handling requirements and follow the manufacturer’s operating and service procedures.
For printed media, coordinate the camera, registration marks, cutting file and selected tool. Registration supports positioning; the spindle or module still performs the cut.
Cut2D, VCarve Pro and Aspire are the software families referenced for 2D, 2.5D and 3D work. Vectric software is listed with the platform; identify the supplied edition on the quotation.
RIP, print preparation and graphics-cutting workflows. Coordinate contour-cutting output and camera registration with the machine configuration.
Packaging, POS/POP and display-structure design workflows. Include the required design tools and cutting output in the software discussion.
Structural packaging CAD for packaging and retail-display development. Confirm the design-to-cut workflow, output format and required license.
Platform equipment: COMAGRAV lists an automatic Z sensor, a work-table configuration and Vectric software with NOTUS PLUS. The supplied software edition and table arrangement belong on the quotation.
Configuration options: select the spindle, automatic tool changer, MultiHead modules, tool heads, registration camera, rotary adapter, extraction and cooling around the job. Do not assume every item shown is supplied with every machine.
Application choices: the cutter or blade, creaser wheel, hold-down, consumables and process settings depend on the material and operation.
For repeat work, record the module and tool identifier, material, thickness, required finish and software workflow. Include any changeover needs between routing, knife cutting and creasing.
Ask for the operating and service instructions for the selected spindle, ATC and modules, including tool-setting procedures, approved consumables and maintenance intervals. This reference page is not a substitute for those machine-specific instructions.

Explore prototyping & R&DDirect answers to the distinctions that matter when comparing routing, knife cutting, finishing and camera-registered workflows.
Start with the material and operation. Routing spindles cover routed profiles, engraving and rigid-substrate work. Knife, oscillating, rotary, creasing and kiss-cut tools address different soft, flexible, board and film workflows. The material, thickness, geometry and finish determine the actual package.
No. The 13.2 kW S6 / 11 kW S1 HSD spindle shown here is a 24,000 RPM configuration. Up to 50,000 RPM is a separate high-frequency spindle option. Do not combine the maximum power and maximum speed into one assumed specification.
Cardboard, paper sheets, folding carton and suitable thin corrugated board are typically handled with knife and creasing tools rather than router bits. Select the U1 tools and module setup for the board construction and required fold.
No. The U1 VCUT range is knife-based tooling for suitable board applications. ACM and DiBond fold-line preparation described on this page uses a routing spindle with a V-groove router bit. The two tool families should not be treated as interchangeable.
No. The camera supports registration of the cutting workflow to printed media. A spindle, knife, creaser or other appropriate tool still performs the operation. Specify the camera, cutting tool and software workflow together.
No. This page shows configuration choices and interchangeable tooling. The machine quotation should identify the spindle, ATC, MultiHead modules, tool heads, workholding, extraction, registration and software edition supplied for your application.
Start with your materials, maximum dimensions, thickness and required operations. Add finish requirements and current workflow so the conversation focuses on the right configuration.
