MCS-12: Single Axis Industrial Cutoff Machine

The Tridex MCS-12 Single Axis Burr Free Electrochemical (ECG) Cutoff Machine features completely burr-free cutting, virtually eliminating the need for deburring or other corrective secondary operations and reducing scrap. Almost all metals can be cut burr-free with ECG making it an attractive option for cutting medical, aerospace, UHP gas delivery, and chromatography tubing. The MCS-12 is ideal for trim cuts after bending and excels at producing burr-free cuts for small batches.
