Bäumer IS-M Vertical Automatic Bandknife

The IS-M is an automatic vertical cutting machine designed for three core foam converting tasks: trimming blocks, cutting sheets and producing rectangular cuts from sheets. It's the workhorse that turns raw foam into accurately sized pieces ready for the next stage of production.

Freshly produced foam blocks rarely come off the line square. The IS-M trims the skin and squares up the block cleanly, then gets on with cutting it down to the sizes your customers actually need. Straight edges, square corners, consistent dimensions. Every time.

Automation that saves labour

Manual vertical cutting is slow and relies heavily on operator skill. The IS-M automates the process, so cut dimensions are programmed rather than measured by eye. That means better repeatability across long runs, less rework and a lower cost per part. It also frees up skilled staff for jobs that genuinely need them.

Where the IS-M fits

It suits foam converters supplying the bedding, upholstery, packaging, automotive and technical foam markets.
