Introduction
Rockwool, also known as stone wool, is widely used for thermal and acoustic insulation in construction and industrial applications. However, cutting Rockwool insulation boards into precise shapes and dimensions can be challenging — especially when the material is thick (2 inches or more) and needs to fit customized panels or curved designs.
Traditional cutting tools generate dust, uneven edges, and material waste.
Our CNC Oscillating Knife Cutting Machine provides a clean, efficient, and fully digital cutting solution for Rockwool and other insulation materials.
Cutting Challenges
Rockwool’s fibrous texture makes it difficult to cut accurately using manual or saw-based tools.
Common problems include:
- Dust and fiber scattering during cutting
- Rough edges and inconsistent dimensions
- Slow manual processing speed
- Health and safety risks from airborne fibers
For manufacturers or contractors who process Rockwool in large quantities (e.g., 4 ft × 2 ft boards with 2-inch thickness), automation is the key to improving efficiency and quality.
Our CNC Knife Cutting Solution
The M.RISE CNC Oscillating Knife Cutting Machine uses high-frequency blade vibration instead of heat or friction, ensuring smooth, dust-free cuts without material deformation.
