Cutting techniques
Free cutting
In free cutting, materials are subjected to tensile stress by the extremely sharp cutting edge of a thin blade. It is the simplest and most cost-effective cutting method and the only method for very thin film.
Scissor cutting
In scissor cutting, materials are cut in the pinch between two overlapping metal discs, which generate shear stress to cut the product. This is the most commonly used method, but demanding to ensure high-quality cutting.
Pressure cutting
In pressure cutting, materials are subjected to compressive stress by using an “anvil”. Cutting quality is lower, but the process is user-friendly.
Frequently asked questions about industrial blades
Where can you buy industrial blades?
Industrial blades are available through industrial tool suppliers and specialised companies offering cutting solutions for specific industries. In addition to a standard range, we also offer customised knives, taking into account the unique characteristics of the material to be cut and the customer’s specific requirements. Adjusting the blade to the material to be cut will improve quality and tool life, resulting in more efficient and accurate work. The use of high-quality materials and technologies ensures that our knives are not only durable, but also contribute to higher productivity and lower operating costs for companies.
How long do Industrial bladess last?
The lifespan of an industrial knife is driven by several factors. By precisely matching the blade to the material to be cut, we increase both quality and tool life, resulting in more efficient and precise work. The use of high-quality materials not only makes our knives durable, but also significantly increases productivity and reduces operational costs for companies.
How often should you sharpen an industrial blade?
Depending on the intensity of use, industrial blades should be inspected and sharpened regularly to maintain optimal performance. Bespoke industrial blades often have one or more specific angles under which they should be sharpened to maintain the knife’s original performance.
How to sharpen an industrial knife?
Given the complex sharpening of industrial blades, which usually consists of different sharpening angles designed in a specific way to cut through various materials, sharpening these knives is very difficult and not recommended. It requires not only specialised equipment, but also considerable skill and experience to ensure that the cutting edge is not damaged, which could significantly reduce the functionality of the blade. Therefore, it is often better to simply replace custom-made blades designed for long-term use when they become blunt.
