PANTOGRAPH CUTTING (OXY CUTTING)

Pantograph cutting, also known as oxy cutting, is a process that uses an oxygen jet to cut the sheets.

Also called flame cutting, oxy cutting is based on the principle according to which when a ferrous metal is brought to its melting point and a thin jet of oxygen is added, a progressive, mechanically guided process of self-combustion is triggered, cutting the sheets apart. The torch is either hand-operated by qualified personnel or mounted on computerised pantographs, with constant feed speed and flow regulators.

ITA.C.A. Acciai is equipped with 5 Dami HD oxy cutting machines with a cutting capacity of 5000 × 12000 mm and 6 motorised automatic saddles with cutting thickness up to 350 mm.
