Cutting equipments

In the category of cutting equipment, we present the most modern machines for planar and shaped division of ferrous and non-ferrous materials.

2D laser cutting

Among the well known and the most modern laser cutting machines are 2D lasers which are used for cutting sheet metal up to 200 x 6000 mm in size. Lasers are divided according to the type of technology between CO2 lasers with resonator powers up to 20 kW for cutting and welding and solid-state lasers called fibers with power up to 6 kW.

3D laser cutting

Lasers for 3D cutting are used for cutting shaped surfaces in pipes, profiles, etc. up to a length of 6000 mm and for welding on complex parts for the automotive industry. The most popular producers of these lasers are Trumpf, Bystronic, Amada, Prima Power, Mazak.

Water cutting machines

Water jet or water cutting machines with added abrasive are used for cutting and shape cutting of all metal and non-metal materials, including stone, ceramics, glass, composite materials, textiles etc. from 1,5 mm thickness and up to more than 250 mm. Well known manufacturers are Flow Waterjet, PTV, Rychlý TOM, Bystronic, Omac.

Plasma source

For the traditional cutting of metal sheets are used machines with plasma source (Kjellberg, Hypertherm or Formica) or autogen up to 12000 mm length of the sheet. The main manufacturers of these machines are VANAD, MGM, Pierce Automation, ESAB, Microstep, Messer. Plasma cuts materials up to 30 mm thick. Autogen can cut steel up to 1000 mm in  thickness.

Saws

In the category of saws, we can find both circular and band saws CNC controlled, semi-automatic or gravity-fed. Most popular producers are Kasto, Pegas, Kaltenbach, BLM, Adige, Pilous, Bomar, Meba.

Cutting machines

A separate subcategory are wire cutting machines, sometimes named as electrospark or electroerosion machine, shortly EDM (Electric Discharge Machining) which remove the material with tiny electric discharges in a liquid dielectric. The Main advantage is that machine can work even with hard materials too. These machines are used for production of tools, punches etc. Among the main manufacturers of these EDM machines are Charmilles Technologies, Agie, Fanuc, Sodick, Mitsubishi Electric, Hitachi, Accutex, Makino..
