Metal products must be cut at various stages of their manufacturing process - from strand or slab casting to conditioning and finishing. In addition to dividing product material into intermediate and finished lengths, the workpiece ends are cropped and sample pieces must be cut. This is not as simple as it may sound, as demanding, application-specific criteria have to be fulfilled. BRAUN has the optimum cutting technology, machines, and expertise for a broad spectrum of metal cutting applications.
In terms of abrasive cut-off machines BRAUN offers various cutting methods, depending on the type, shape and size of the material to be cut as well as the specific application (e.g. stand-alone machine or machine integrated in a line for continuous production in a rolling mill). The cutting method will significantly determine the design of the abrasive cut-off machine and the movements of the cut-off wheel and the material to be cut.
Abrasive cut-off machines work quickly and precisely, producing clean cutting edges.
BRAUN is a specialist for cut-off machines with cutting wheels in dimensions from 500 to 2050 mm.

BRAUN - competence of abrasive cutting
more than 260 abrasive cut-off machines delivered worldwide since 1965
Long product rolling mills are among the most significant applications for high performance BRAUN abrasive cut-off machines. BRAUN provides individually optimized abrasive cutting systems for SBQ and other products and processes where precise, accurate, un-burned and essentially burr-free cuts are essential.
Abrasive cutting is suitable for cutting flat products at any temperature. Moreover, abrasive cutting is fast, precise, accurate, and effective for steel alloys as well as special metals and super alloys.
In forging operations, the removal of the unclean ends and the cutting to length are ideally carried out while the workpiece is still hot. Therefore - and because of the high cutting speed and the perfect cutting quality - the abrasive cut-off machine is the solution of choice.
For cutting large, heavy-walled seamless tubes and stainless steel tubes, abrasive cuttng is the preferred technical solution. Cutting is fast, precise, smooth, and essentially burr-free.
For high-purity, often large-sized stainless steel ingots, it is necessary to cut off the impure ends. Because of its extremely high cutting speed and high precision, the abrasive cut-off machine is the preferred solution.
With the ability to quickly, precisely and cost-effectivly cut all material grades - up to the hardest and most highly alloyed materials - the abrasive cut-off machine offers great advantages for end product near fields of application.
Thanks to experience and know-how, BRAUN is competent to offer special solutions for special cutting applications and tailor-made complete systems and cutting lines.
