Precision cutting is a decisive factor in extrusion and converting processes. With the ENGEL blade holder portfolio, SOMATEC Sondermaschinen GmbH is expanding its range of solutions for reliable, precise and application-specific web cutting.
Based in Hamelin, Germany, SOMATEC is well known for customised winding, rewinding and automation technology.
With the integration of ENGEL cutting systems, the company now combines its experience in web handling and winding technology with specialised expertise in industrial blade holder solutions.
The ENGEL portfolio includes mechanical and pneumatic blade holders as well as heated cutting solutions for a wide range of materials and production requirements.
The systems can be used both as individual components and as part of complete, customer-specific cutting units.
A key focus is the optimisation of cutting quality and process stability.
Depending on the material, parameters such as blade geometry, cutting position, web tension, production speed and temperature can have a significant influence on the cutting result.
This becomes particularly important when processing demanding films, technical materials or products that tend to fray, deform or melt during cutting.
To support customers in selecting the optimum configuration, SOMATEC also offers laboratory cutting trials and application analysis.
Different blades, holder configurations and process parameters can be evaluated using customer materials before the final solution is defined.
The objective is to achieve clean, reproducible cutting edges while reducing material waste and increasing process reliability.
In addition to standard products, SOMATEC develops customised and pre-assembled cutting units that can be prepared as plug-and-play solutions for integration into new or existing production lines.
This includes mechanical adaptations, pneumatic actuation and application-specific mounting concepts.
With ENGEL cutting systems and SOMATEC winding technology under one roof, customers benefit from a combined approach to cutting, web handling and winding processes – from the individual blade holder to a fully integrated machine solution.
Perfect cuts for a better tomorrow.
