ProPierce

Increasing the piercing capacity by up to 1 1/4 inches

The patent pending process “ProPierce” increases the previous maximum piercing capacity by 3/8 inches in mild steel and up to 1 1/4 inches in stainless steel and aluminium.

The new technological process offers cutting of inner contours in thick-metal without changing applications. Customers reduce material costs while using piercing instead of edge start.
The technology “ProPierce” is available exclusively for Q-Series and doesn’t need additional equipment or consumables.
