What is contour cutting technology?
Contour cutting technology refers to the precise cutting of complex shapes and geometries using highly sophisticated band saws and automated cutting systems. In contrast to traditional cutting methods, contour cutting makes it possible to cut materials into any shape (straight, curved, or multidimensional). Contour cutting technology is mainly used in industries where maximum dimensional accuracy, material efficiency, and repeatability are crucial: from construction and lightweight construction to aerosapce and packaging technology.
Contour cutters from HEMA
Ideal for lightweight materials, insulation materials, and technical plastics, the contour cutters from HEMA have been specially designed for processing these materials. They deliver technical precision, robust design, and the flexibility to accommodate individual production requirements.
In summary, the cutting systems offer the following advantages:
- Heated cutting wire for clean cut edges and burr-free results
- CNC-controlled axes for complex contours and high repeatability
- Material-optimized cutting for minimal waste and optimized use of resources
- Individual machine configuration for maximum flexibility
- Safety and convenience features such as automatic wire tensioning and protective covers
Technical advantages at a glance:
HEMA develops contour-based cutting systems that adapt precisely to the material, geometry, and production process involved. The systems are based on proven band saw technology, supplemented by a digital control system, tool adaptation, and optional integration into existing production lines.
