What Is a 1625 CNC Cutting Machine? Working Area, Tools and Applications

An introduction to 1625 CNC cutting machines, working area, tools and common applications.

A 1625 CNC cutting machine usually refers to a digital cutting table with an effective working area of about 1600 x 2500 mm. It is widely used for flexible and semi-rigid materials such as foam, rubber, gasket, fabric, leather, corrugated board, PET felt and printed media.

What Does 1625 Mean?

The number 1625 is commonly used to describe the working size. In most cases, it means 1600 mm by 2500 mm. This size is popular because it can handle many common sheet materials while still fitting into typical workshops.

However, buyers should confirm the effective cutting area with the supplier. Machine outer size, usable area and table structure may vary by manufacturer.

Common Materials for a 1625 CNC Cutter

Material Application Common Tool
EVA / EPE / PU foam Packaging inserts and protective cases Oscillating knife, pneumatic knife, milling
Rubber / gasket Seals, flanges, insulation pads Oscillating knife
Fabric / textile Upholstery, home textiles, samples Rotary or oscillating knife
Leather Shoes, bags, furniture leather Oscillating knife and nesting
Corrugated board Packaging samples, displays, cartons Knife and creasing wheel
Printed media Labels, KT board, signage CCD vision and drag knife

Tool Options

A 1625 digital cutting machine can be configured with different tools. The right tool depends on material thickness, density, edge quality and production workflow.

  • Electric oscillating tool: common for foam, rubber, gasket and corrugated materials.
  • Pneumatic oscillating tool: useful for thicker or softer foam materials.
  • Rotary knife: often used for many fabric and textile applications.
  • Drag knife: suitable for thin films, labels and some printed materials.
  • Creasing wheel: used for corrugated board and packaging folds.
  • V-cut tool: used for folding materials and display structures.
  • Milling tool: used for foam pockets, slots, cavities and certain rigid materials.
  • CCD camera: used for printed contour cutting and registration mark recognition.

Why Buyers Choose a 1625 Size

The 1625 size is often chosen because it balances capacity, floor space and budget. It is large enough for many foam sheets, gasket materials, signage boards and packaging samples, while not being as large as 2030 or larger industrial tables.

For foam packaging factories, a 1625 table can be a practical first production platform. For roll fabric or continuous materials, an automatic feeding version may be more suitable.

Important Configuration Questions

Before ordering a 1625 CNC cutting machine, ask these questions:

  • What is the exact effective working area?
  • What materials and thicknesses will be tested?
  • Which tools are included in the quote?
  • Is the vacuum table divided into zones?
  • What vacuum pump power is recommended?
  • Which servo, rail, electrical and control brands are used?
  • Does the software support your file formats?
  • Can the supplier provide a sample cutting video?

1625 CNC Foam Cutting Machine

For EVA, EPE and PU foam inserts, a 1625 CNC foam cutting machine can combine knife cutting and milling. The knife cuts the outside profile, while the milling tool can create pockets, slots and stepped cavities. This is useful for tool cases, electronics packaging and protective inserts.

RIGO CNC Recommendation

If you are not sure whether 1625 is the right size, send your sheet size, material, thickness and product drawing. RIGO engineers can recommend whether a 1625 machine is enough or whether a larger table, feeding system or special tool is needed.

FAQ

Is 1625 the same as 1600 x 2500 mm?

Usually yes. In CNC cutting machine naming, 1625 commonly means a working area around 1600 x 2500 mm. Always confirm the exact effective area with the supplier.

Can a 1625 machine cut foam inserts?

Yes. With the correct knife and optional milling tool, a 1625 machine can be used for EVA, EPE and PU foam insert production.

Can one 1625 machine cut different materials?

Yes, if it is configured with suitable tools. Many machines can cut foam, gasket, fabric, leather, corrugated board and printed materials with different tool modules.

Should I choose 1625 or 2030?

Choose based on sheet size, part nesting, factory space and output requirement. If your material sheet is larger than 1600 x 2500 mm, consider a larger table.

Need a tested cutting configuration?

Send your material, drawing or product photo. RIGO CNC can review the application and recommend the suitable machine and tool setup.
