The Biesse Rover Plast B FT is a gantry-type CNC machining centre capable of milling, drilling and creating cut-outs or grooves in plastic sheets. The milling head follows digitally programmed contours, allowing components with intricate shapes or specific dimensions to be manufactured with high precision. Depending on the configuration, the machine can be equipped with multiple machining axes and automatic tool changers. This allows different machining operations to be performed within a single production process.

An important feature of the Rover Plast B FT is its flat FT worktable. During milling, plastic sheets are held securely in place by a vacuum clamping system. This prevents unwanted movement that could affect dimensional accuracy and cut-edge quality.

The vacuum table therefore contributes to a stable machining process, even when working with larger sheet formats.

The machine supports nesting, a production method in which multiple components are digitally arranged across a plastic sheet to make optimal use of the available surface area. Different shapes can then be milled within a single machining programme. This helps minimise material waste and reduces the number of separate machining operations required. Nesting is particularly beneficial when producing multiple components from the same material.

The Rover Plast B FT offers machining capabilities for a wide range of applications, including technical machine components, cover plates and plastic parts with specific contours. A digital design forms the basis of the machining programme. This programme can be reused for repeat orders, ensuring that components are manufactured to the same specifications.
