Maximum efficiency in cutting and recovering metal reinforcements: less waste, more sustainability, perfect synergy with PVC
STEEL CONNECT is the high-performance CNC cutting centre designed to automate and optimise the production of internal steel reinforcements in PVC profiles. Equipped with a Ø350 mm descending blade with controlled movement, it combines precision, continuous production, and electronic tool wear monitoring for consistently perfect cuts.
Thanks to its compatibility with GRAF Synergy PVC cutting centres, STEEL CONNECT enables synchronized and centralised production, managed through advanced software for importing and optimising cutting lists.
With the addition of the optional CONNIE module, it transforms into an automated welding centre for metal scraps, drastically reducing waste and making the recovery of previously unused materials economically viable.
5 reasons to choose STEEL CONNECT
- Fast and reliable cutting. Reduces execution times thanks to controlled downward movement and integrated software.
- Synchronized production. Operations fully integrable with GRAF Synergy PVC cutting and processing centers.
- Intelligent scrap recovery. With the CONNIE module, metal offcuts are welded to optimize material usage.
- Advanced electronic control. Blade speed and wear are electronically managed for consistent results and longer tool life.
- Intuitive interface and flexible configurations. Easy-to-use software suitable even for inexperienced operators, with a wide range of available options.
