Returning to the MACH exhibition with a complete range of new technologies and UK exhibition premieres, Kerf Developments sold a multitude of its new machines at MACH 2024.
The Rochdale manufacturer and supplier of oxy/fuel, plasma, waterjet and fibre laser cutting machines introduced two new machines at MACH. With a complete range of cutting solutions appearing alongside automated cutting and welding solutions from technical partner Lincoln Electric.
Managing director Dan Taylor said: “With the current industry forecasts and capital expenditure strained by market conditions such as interest rates and inflation, we didn’t know what to expect – but by the end of day one, our apprehension was dispelled and we were delighted with the enthusiasm and receptiveness of show visitors to invest.
“We sold a number of cutting solutions at MACH and we have a high number of red-hot leads that are planning on closing orders imminently after the show. The show was certainly more successful for Kerf than MACH 2022 and there was a higher number and calibre of visitors. Overall, we are delighted with the show, especially with machines sold off-the-stand to longstanding customers like AJS Profiles.”
One machine making its MACH show debut was the Kerf Ultra. With both oxy/fuel and plasma cutting in a single machine solution, this combination machine expands the cutting capabilities, flexibility and processing speed for end users whilst reducing set-up time and material changeovers. This proved a gamechanger for a lot of visitors to MACH want flexibility beyond one machine with a single type of cutting process.
The second new machine at MACH was the Linc-Cut Fiber 1530A fibre laser system. Designed to produce the best cutting quality with linear guidance, dynamic kinematics, helical drives, rigidity and precision that is a benchmark for the industry.
Bringing this machine to the UK in conjunction with Lincoln Electric, a world leading cutting and welding manufacturer, the Linc-Cut Fiber 1530A is available as a 3kW, 6kW or 12kw machine with a 3m by 1.5m or 4m by 2m bed.
The flatbed machine incorporates a host of technology with features such as Flycut, Fast-Cutting, Smooth Microjoint, Frame Border, Circle Centring and Collision Avoidance that all enhance productivity and cutting speed for the end user.
