A 1200mm cutting width is not a feature most operations need. It is a feature a specific set of operations cannot work without.
The P120 is the widest machine Aircosan makes. Cutting width is 1200mm. Maximum thickness is 20mm. Speed is adjustable from 0 to 12 metres per minute. Power is 380V three-phase only, at 5500W. It weighs around 715kg and measures roughly 1524 x 734 x 1116mm. Output is mesh.
Who that is built for: operations that regularly receive cardboard sheets wider than 900mm. Furniture, flat panels, building materials, oversized display packaging, and industrial components all arrive in board that exceeds standard machine widths. When that is your incoming material, every sheet needs cutting down before it can be processed. That step is not occasional. It is daily, and it costs labour and creates offcuts that go to waste.
Who it is not built for: operations whose sheets mostly fit within 900mm. If that is your situation, the P90 covers the work, weighs considerably less, and takes up less floor space. Buying capacity you rarely use means paying more, moving more, and giving up room that could hold something else. The P120 is not a better machine than the P90. It is a wider one, and width only pays for itself if the material requires it.
The practical constraints matter as much as the capability. Because the P120 is 380V three-phase only, a site without three-phase supply cannot install it without electrical work, and that work has a cost and a lead time. At 715kg it needs a solid floor and a planned location. It needs clearance at both ends for feeding long sheets, which is not something a corner position can provide. None of this is a reason to avoid the machine if the work justifies it, but all of it should be confirmed before ordering rather than discovered on delivery day.
What the machine does once installed is straightforward. Sheets go in as they arrive, no pre-cutting. Mesh comes out at line speed and goes around edges, between stacked panels, and into voids. Material is produced at the pace of the line rather than stockpiled, which removes the storage and reordering cycle that comes with purchased consumables.
Aircosan builds these units in its own factory. The 1200mm width is the widest in the company's range, and the P120 exists for the operations whose incoming board makes that width necessary rather than merely convenient. The right question is not whether 1200mm is better than 900mm. It is what width your board actually is, on a normal day, measured rather than estimated.
