ProPierce
Increasing the piercing capacity by up to 30 mm
The patent pending process “ProPierce” increases the previous maximum piercing capacity by 10 mm in mild steel and up to 30 mm 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.
