Profile Contour Saws


ESCO offers a wide range of contour cutting machines for profiling rigid and flexible polyurethane foams. Our machines range from manually operated wire machines to fully computerized CNC wire and blade machines. ESCO CNC foam profiles saws are made in the USA and utilize the highest quality components. ESCO foam contour saws are fast, accurate, easily operated, easily serviced and are offered at affordable prices.

Each computer controlled ESCO profile foam saw comes coupled with ESCO’s Advanced Profile Management (APM) software comprised of ESCO Draw, ESCO View and an optional advanced nesting module so that foam fabricators are assured of optimum performance. Using our APM system foam converters are assured accuracy and speed while minimizing scrap and maximizing yield. ESCO’s APM solution is a powerful suite of tools that can further enhance the value of foam contour cutting machines with features like automatic tool path generation, ASTM charts for automatic pipe insulation profile generation, pipe-in-pipe (PIP) generation, common line cutting, nesting priority, nesting groups and clusters, multi-sheet nesting and filler capabilities.

ESCO wire and blade contour cutting machines can been integrated into automatic cutting lines featuring horizontal slitters, side trimmers, flying cut-off saws, foam crushers and automated sheet removal systems. ESCO’s automated cutting lines can be run by a single operator from one control station and coupled with ESCO’s Total Production Management (TPM) software and can be integrated with an organization's order entry system to schedule and manage the most demanding production environment. ESCO works with each customer to customize each foam fabrication line to include enhanced data reporting and logging, thermal label printers with barcodes and profile graphics and even large format displays to help operators unload and pack complicated layouts after they have been processed.

Continuous Vertical Blade Profiler

ESCO's Vertical Profiler is a continuous blade, high speed CNC foam contour cutting saw. The Vertical Profiler can be operated in both a manual and automatic mode from a local operator console or remote control center through Ethernet/wireless communications. This machine suits the needs of the furniture, bedding, and packaging industries and features a robust precision guide system that allows high-speed cutting of high ILD foam, Visco-elastic foams, latex and fiber-filled foams in addition to traditional polyurethane foams.

Continuous Horizontal Blade Profiler

The Horizontal Profiler uses a continuous blade, making it an excellent choice for cutting flexible PU foams, visco-elastic memory and Latex foam, and semi-rigid high ILD PU foam and is used for a wide range of applications in the bedding, furniture, packaging, medical, insulation, and automotive industries. With the addition of an automatic or manual turntable the horizontal blade CNC foam profile saw can profile cut then turn and be slit to the appropriate thickness. This enables it to do the work of multiple machines and maintain a hands-off labor approach.

Vertical CNC ProfileMatic

ESCO’s Vertical ProfileMatic is an abrasive fast wire CNC profile saw that is similar in design to ESCO's Vertical Profiler but is scaled down to provide a competitively priced, high speed alternative. Minimal dust is created while cutting foam on this contour machine due to the downward cutting action and ESCO’s advancements in the wire cutting technology. ESCO’s Vertical ProfileMatic is perfectly suited for high speed stack cutting of polyester fiber bats and rolls. With the addition of a servo controlled in-feed conveyor, multiple rolls can be unrolled and synchronously cut.

Horizontal ProfileMatic III

ESCO’s horizontal ProfileMatic III (PM III) CNC foam saw is a servo-driven two-dimensional profile saw. The contour foam saw utilizes a traveling abrasive cutting wire able to cut intricate profiles in urethane foams both flexible and rigid as well as most grades of Ethafoam, mineral wool, cross-linked foams, Styrofoam, rebond foam and similar materials. ESCO’s ProfileMatic III is the highest performance CNC wire saw on the market and the world leader in high speed on demand pipe insulation production.

Dual Head ProfileMatic

ESCO’s Dual Head ProfileMatic foam contour saw integrates both a vertical and horizontal profile cutting head; the DPW offers a streamlined, integrated solution to rigid and flexible PU fabricating. Designed and built in the United States, the DPW is the fastest and most versatile abrasive wire machine of its type on the market. ESCO’s dual head profile saw is commonly used in continuous line applications for the trimming, squaring and profile cutting of various sheets and bun stocks.
