1. Material Composition and Structure:
- ACM panels consist of two thin aluminum sheets bonded to a non-aluminum core (usually polyethylene or a mineral-filled core), requiring bits that can handle both the aluminum surface and the softer core.
- Solid aluminum requires bits that can effectively cut through a homogenous metal without delamination.
2. Bit Geometry and Design:
- ACM router bits often feature shear cut geometry and helical cutter designs to reduce cutting force, minimize vibration, and prevent delamination or frayed edges during cutting of the composite layers.
- Aluminum router bits tend to be designed with geometries suited for clean metal cutting, often with carbide tips and single or multiple flutes optimized for chip evacuation and heat dissipation.
3. Cutting Performance Features:
- ACM bits focus on reducing tool wear and overheating, with chip evacuation channels adapted to the composite structure. They also often use coatings to reduce friction.
- Aluminum bits require higher durability and cooling mechanisms due to the metal's hardness and heat generation during cutting.
4. Application and Usage:
- Esko Kongsberg offers specialized router bits and tooling, including multiCUT-HP tool heads and milling spindles with liquid cooling systems to optimize cutting of ACM and aluminum.
- ACM bits are used for signage and architectural cladding materials such as Dibond and Alucobond, designed to deliver smooth cuts on delicate composite layers.
- Aluminum bits are optimized for solid metal machining, providing clean, precise edges with high-speed routing capabilities.
In summary, Esko Kongsberg ACM router bits are specially engineered for cutting layered aluminum composite panels with features that minimize delamination and wear, while aluminum router bits are robust tools optimized for machining solid aluminum metal, focusing on durability, cooling, and chip evacuation for efficient metal cutting.
