Until recently, stone cutting was associated with saws or diamond discs, which allowed for cutting stone in a straight line. Today there are new technologies that open new roads, new possibilities.

Engineers from ECKERT company developed modern and innovative system which allows curve cut of pipes and direct preparing in these pipes suitable welding chamfers. Merging 3D cutting devices, advanced software, welding experience and mathematical knowledge allowed to implement system which makes possible creating of complicated tubular constructions.

For cutting stainless steel, you can use several common technologies, like laser, plasma or water (hydroabrasive) cutting. To choose the right one you should analyze thickness of the material, required precision and of course economic aspects.

Thermal cutting using oxy-acetylene or oxy –propane burner is a traditional method of mild steel cutting. This process is used for cutting mild steel, depending on production needs, with a thickness from 4 mm. However, a wide heat affected zone may cause deformation of the thin sheet material. On the other hand, with thick materials – 35 mm and more – so-called oxyfuel cutting can be more efficient and cheaper. The maximum thickness of the material that can can be worked on our machines is 300 mm.
