What is the function of bevelling?

Bevelling is an important process step in the manufacturing industry, especially in metal processing. Bevelling allows edges and surfaces to be precisely machined to enable ideal preparation for subsequent processes, such as welding. In addition, chamfering improves the visual quality of components and increases safety by eliminating sharp edges.

The Dual Flex 3D cutting head from Eckert Cutting is an excellent alternative. With its combination of autogenous flame cutting and plasma forging, it can carry out this process more efficiently and precisely during cutting.

With its wide bevel range of 1 to 100 mm, it enables high-precision edge processing across all thicknesses and thus offers significant cost savings. In addition, the unique quality of the cut edges ensures optimum conditions for post-processing. At the same time, the technology of the Dual Flex 3D enables complete automation of the chamfering process, which significantly increases efficiency and optimizes time management.

3D cutting enables material cutting and beveling at different angles. The cutting head can tilt and rotate, allowing weld bevels to be prepared directly during the cutting process without additional post-processing.

Integrated bevel cutting significantly reduces production time, handling, and additional operations. Weld-ready edges are created directly in one process, improving efficiency and lowering overall costs.

3D cutting is mainly used for structural steel and thicker materials applied in industries such as shipbuilding, bridge construction, mining, and heavy steel fabrication.

Traditional processes require cutting, transport, and separate beveling or grinding. 3D cutting combines these steps into one automated operation, reducing time and improving workflow.

Key challenges include precise torch positioning, angle control, and maintaining a constant distance from the material surface to ensure consistent edge quality.
