Optima waterjet
Cutting Machines
Waterjet cutting is a cold process, meaning that there are no heat affected zones, hardened material or material stresses created during the cutting process. A clean accurate burr-free finish often eliminates the need for secondary surface finishing.
The optima waterjet cutting process also leads to small diameter highly accurate Kerfs, ensuring that the clean finished products can be manufactured in a way that might not be possible with other processes. As well as being ideal for both short and long production runs, waterjet cutting enables prototypes for products still in development to be quickly and easily created, modified and refined where appropriate.

CUTTING APPLICATIONS
The Optima Waterjet Cutting Machine is a high-quality machine available in a wide range of sizes with three, four or five-axis capability. It is built using best in class elements and packaged up in turnkey solutions that include the machine, software, installation and training.
The Optima can be built in a range of widths and lengths to suit your requirements. We can offer wide beams for applications with multiple heads or longer narrower machines where space may be an issue. We will select the most appropriate high-pressure pump for your application and control the system using advanced CADCAM software.
We supply the machines with single or multiple cutting heads that have automatic height adjustment including anti-collision systems and offer a range of optional extra items such as dual cutting heads using a spacer bar, dual independent heads, a rotary tilting head and GRS abrasive removal systems. All machines supplied by Kerf are built to the highest engineering standards providing years of reliable operation.

oxy-Fuel
Cutting Machines
For the best quality and the most precise cuts on thicker material, OXY-FUEL profile cutting machines are certainly an excellent option to explore. At Kerf, your first choice for CNC cutting machine manufacturing, we can provide a wide range of different OXY-FUEL cutting machine options. Oxy-fuel cutting is a method that has been around for more than a century, dating back to 1907. However, it is still widely used today and is a critical technology in many sectors.
To cut metals, oxy-fuel cutting uses a mix of fuel gases and oxygen. A number of fuels may be used, with propane being the most popular. Speak to Kerf about our profile cutting machines to find out more.
Fiber Laser
Cutting Machines
Kerf’s fiber laser systems are engineered for high-speed profiling of mild steel, stainless steel, and aluminium. With their low operating costs, reduced maintenance, and excellent edge quality, they’re ideal for fabricators and manufacturers who need accuracy without compromise.
Whether you're cutting thin sheets or intricate profiles, our fiber laser machines offer unbeatable repeatability and reliability.
Plasma
Cutting Machines
Plasma cutters pass an electric arc through gas (often compressed air), which converts into a plasma arc that is used to cut through the metal. The interaction of gases, an electric arc, and a concentrated area of pressure within the cutting torch results in an electrically conductive ionised gas, commonly known as plasma.
Waterjet
Cutting Machines
Not only can this cutting method get through almost any material you ask it to, it also leaves you with little to no waste, and it is an extremely accurate profile cutting method. When it comes to choosing a cutting system that will offer you everything you need, waterjet cutting ticks all the boxes.
Waterjet cutting employs an abrasive grit carried by an ultra-high-pressure stream of water. This results in a smooth, precision-cut surface without a heat-affected zone.
Waterjet is the most adaptable method since it can cut nearly any material; even carbon steel is no match for it. Waterjet cutting is an extremely accurate process; It features a narrow kerf width, which allows for the cutting of delicate contours and the production of high-tolerance components.
