Cutting steel
Steel cutting with water cutting systems
Our CNC water cutting systems impress with their high level of functionality and state-of-the-art technology. Cutting with water enables first-class precision, which can be used for different types of steel. In a waterjet cutting system, a jet of water is bundled in such a way that it generates a very high pressure of between 500 bar and 6000 bar.
The main advantage of cutting steel with waterjet cutting systems is the precision and the associated production results. The precision is achieved by the pressure of the concentrated water jet in conjunction with an abrasive. On the other hand, the steel is not heated by the water, which also eliminates the need for any deformation or reworking.
Steel cutting with plasma cutting systems
The steel is melted with a highly concentrated plasma arc during plasma cutting. Plasma cutting is recommended for all materials that conduct electricity well. The plasma cutting systems from Eckert Cutting impress with a particularly high cutting speed, whereby quality and precision are never neglected. Furthermore, steel types of different cutting thicknesses can be processed and the very narrow heat-affected zone further underlines the advantages of this process technology.
The machines can cut without a long preheating time, which raises productivity to a very high level. The plasma cutting systems meet even the highest demands. The outstanding quality of the cut surface after the machining process makes this method highly customizable for cutting steel grades of different thicknesses.
Steel cutting with oxyfuel flame cutting
The autogenous flame cutting is one of the oldest processes and is also popular for cutting steels of different shapes and thicknesses. No wonder, because at Eckert Cutting you will find high-quality machines that are not only easy to operate, but also achieve excellent results. Oxyfuel flame cutting is interesting for many different areas and is one of the most effective and cost-effective cutting processes for cutting steel, such as structural steel in the heavy plate sector. With oxyfuel flame cutting, there are hardly any thickness restrictions for the steel workpiece, which significantly increases the range of applications. Eckert Cutting has also continued to automate this "old" cutting process and has taken it to a completely new level in terms of user-friendliness, autonomy and process reliability.

What technology is used to cut stone?
What technology is used to cut stone?
Precision stone processing mainly uses water jet cutting (waterjet), often with the addition of an abrasive (garnet). This allows for shaped, highly accurate cutting of even hard materials.
Why is a waterjet best for stone?
Why is a waterjet best for stone?
This technology:
- does not generate high temperatures
- does not cause microcracks
- enables very high precision
- enables cutting in any shape, not only linearly .
What stones can be cut on a waterjet?
What stones can be cut on a waterjet?
Most commonly machined:
- granite
- marble
- sandstone
- lime
- conglomerates
Waterjet can also handle very hard materials.
