NEW VIDEX Bars Impact Cutter

Available up to 90mm (3 1/2") diameter bars, the Impact Cutters are designed to cut medium and high-tensile bars. The machines are typically offered with optional in-line chamfer stations and bar feeders. The VIC models can also be equipped with a computer that calculates the number of parts that can be cut from each bar. Cut-to-length parts are diverted to one side of the machine, while short residual parts are directed to the backside and into a short parts bin (not supplied). A tight length tolerance of about ±0.1mm, measured between centers, is achieved because the bars hit a positive stop before cutting. The wire edge is square and accurate, as the wire is fully supported during the cut-off process. The cut-off is activated by a hydraulic impact piston, which ensures a good cut face even when processing mild steel. The run-off guide is reliable and easy to set, requiring no adjustments when changing wire diameters within the specified range. The wire slides between stainless steel bars and is supported by a bottom gate that opens during the cut-off operation. The positive stop can be positioned anywhere along the rails without the need to dismantle any parts. Cut-to-length bars accumulate in a magazine and are then transferred to the chamfer machine, where they can be chamfered on one or both ends.

- Cut-off length, repeatability: ±0.1mm by using a positive stop.
- The Impact cutter can work with Videx Bar Feeder or with any other bar feeder.
- In Videx Bar Feeder the blanks are automatic centered with the cut-off quill, enabling a very quick change-over of wire diameters.
- The bar is supported during the cutting operation, assuring a perfectly square cut face even when running mild steel.
- Stainless steel run-off guide requires NO adjustment along a wide rrange of wire diameters.
- Quick-Change cut-off tools; ideal for small batches.
- Optional removal and sorting of the first & last parts of each bar into a separate short parts bin.
- Computer console, allows entering the bar length & the required cut length. The machine will divert all the good parts to one side and the residual slug to the short parts bin on the other side.
- Digital Length Readout (optional).
- Compact Design.
- Wide wire diameter range in each machine. Total wire diameter range between ø6.0mm and ø50mm.
