Hard Metal Machine​

Precise Abrasive Cut-Off for Hardened Metals
Engineered for precision, reliability, and innovation. Rigid structures, stable feeds, and safeguarding deliver clean, accurate, burr-free cuts, with configurable wet or dry options and automated handling.

Our Experience

CNR has delivered hard-metal cutting systems for labs, low-volume production, and larger manufacturing applications. Combining bonded-wheel processes with practical fixturing, enclosures, and configurable coolant or dry extraction, our systems offer adjustable parameters and interchangeable work holding for consistent quality and repeatability.

Typical Applications

Sectioning of hardened steel and alloy tubes or rods

Sample preparation for materials laboratories

Repetitive cuts with precise length settings using stops and gauges

Dry cutting environments where coolant is not suitable

How We Work

Define the brief — material grades, stock sizes, target lengths, edge quality, and cutting environment (wet/dry).

Fixture & process design — vices, jigs, wheel selection, and coolant or dry extraction.

Controls & safety — PLC/HMI options, safety interlocks, and guarding.

Build & prove-out — Sample cuts (FAT) and on-site commissioning (SAT).

Handover — documentation, operator training, and ongoing support.

Variants & Options

HM1100 — Wet Cutting + Auto Feed
Wet abrasive cutting for burr-free edges, with integrated feeder for automatic move/eject. Interchangeable vices and wheels, with adjustable parameters for repeatable quality.
