CS1-EA: Hybrid Burr-Free and Precision Abrasive Cutoff Machine

The Tridex CS1-EA Hybrid Burr-Free Electrochemical (ECG) & Precision Abrasive Cutoff Machine combines the best of the CS1-A Precision Abrasive and CS1-E Electrochemical Cutoff machines into one robust and compact design. The hybrid design provides flexibility depending on the part being cut.

Key Features

  • Electrochemical Cutoff for Burr-Free tube or wire cutoff.
  • Precision Abrasive cutoff with minimal burr.
  • Easily change between ECG and Abrasive modes.
  • Cuts multiple tubes or bars per cycle.
  • All stainless construction including full access stainless splash guard and electrolyte/coolant tank.
  • Easy setup and operation using color touchscreen HMI.
  • Fixtures and jobs can be changed in one minute.
  • Programmability and flexibility of changing cut lengths without operator input.
  • Offered in right-or-left-hand configuration to create a work cell with one operator running two machines.
  • Thin, inexpensive rubber-bonded wheels never go dull or need sharpening, minimizing kerf loss.
  • Leaves parts with a smooth surface finish, 0.2 -0.4 RA typical.
