How a screen protector cutting machine works: precision, on demand.
An Oryx Nova station cuts protective film in four steps: the device outline and its cutouts are loaded from a cloud library updated as new devices launch, dimensions, curves, notches and camera cutouts are matched to the exact model, a precision plotter cuts the film on demand at the counter, and the piece is applied so it follows every edge.

The film
See a piece cut and fitted.
The Oryx Nova film, in one unbroken take: a piece of protective film descends and fits a phone; the phone becomes a watch and the same piece wears the watch; the watch becomes the phone again; the phone opens into a laptop and the same piece wears the laptop screen. If it has a screen, the station has its size. No machine, tool or factory appears in the film: it shows the fit, not the production.
The process
From template to exact fit.
Four steps, the same on every station in the network: the template, the measure, the cut, the finish.
A screen protector cutting machine is also called a cutting machine, a cutting station, a cutting plotter or a film cutter; on this site, Oryx Nova calls it a cutting station.




- 01
The library
Your model and its exact cutouts are loaded from a library updated as new devices launch: every model in the cloud device library, and manual dimensions for a device that is not in it. - 02
The measure
Dimensions, curves, notches and camera cutouts, matched to your device, not a near one. - 03
The cut
A precision plotter cuts the film on demand, at the counter, only when you need it. - 04
The finish
A clean, bubble-free application that follows every edge and disappears against the screen.
The stations
Four stations, one process.
Machine Ultra, Machine Ultra AI, Machine Ultra AI, Limited Edition and Machine Pro are the four Oryx Nova stations that run this process, and the UV Lamp completes the application at the counter; they share the same cloud device library and cut the same films, for every screen up to 18-inch laptop screens.
The Oryx Nova standard
Quality, built into every step.
Quality is checked at every step of the process, not at the end: the raw material before the cut, every cut piece after it, and the cloud device library that keeps each outline current as new models launch.
