Abrasive Bar Cutting Machine

Several types of cutting machines are available for production cutting of tube and bar, such as cold saws, band saws, lasers, shears, waterjets, and abrasive cutting machines. While each has its advantages and disadvantages, abrasive cutting fills a niche with its ability to accommodate special applications, such as difficult-to-cut stock; tube that must be cut cleanly without serious distortion, especially very thin-walled tube; short cut lengths; and applications that require scrap minimization.
Abrasive Cuttings is the method of choice if : 1) A High Quality Cut Surface with minimal burr is required. 2) Thin Walled Tube e.g. Stainless is to be cut without distortion. 3) Small Diameter Bar and Tube Material cannot be cut by conventional sawing methods, e.g. Carbides, Hard Steels, Inconel, Ceramics. 4) Sheets of Composites, Refractory Metals etc. need to be cut accurately to size 5) Wire, Cable or Conduit needs to be cut cleanly with a smear free face to accept termination Abrasive cutting does not compete with conventional saws such as band saws or circular/cold saws, but tackles the cutting of more difficult materials and fabrications, giving a high quality finish with minimum burr.
