Profile clamping
The profile to be cut is clamped by two horizontal hold-down devices with extreme precision and in absolute safety. For vertical clamping, particularly for special cuts, the machine can be equipped with a patented system of horizontal hold-down devices. When two considerable lengths are cut, the profile is supported by a manually positioned intermediate support.

Steel TKE 552 Head Guards Tekna
Head Guards
The machining zone is protected by two automatically positioned local guards installed on the cutting units. The guards are made of scratch-proof polycarbonate and they are opened/closed automatically by a pneumatic cylinder at the appropriate points of the cutting cycle.
Load and unload
The cutting-off machine is equipped with a roller conveyor on a mobile head for standard loading and unloading procedures. The roller conveyor can be optionally fitted with an extra vice to immobilise the residual profile and an electronic machined profile thickness meter for automatic cutting positions correction in accordance with the real profile dimensions, with the associated surface treatments tolerance.

Steel TKE 552 Control Tekna
Control
The control panel, installed on a support sliding on bearings along the front side of the machine, allows correct mobile heads positioning in accordance with the required cutting schedule. The interface uses a 7” touch-screen and fully personalised software and is packed with bespoke functions that are unique to this machine. The machining cycle can be optimised by creating cutting lists, thereby reducing scrap and cycle times for parts loading-unloading. 
Intermediate tilting adjustment (Optional)

The standard version allows performing cuts at 45° and 22°30' by mechanically presetting the end stops. An optional system is provided for tilting manual adjustment of cutting units to any intermediate angles by means of a manual handwheel, which is particularly useful when performing out-of-square cuts.

Steel TKE 552 Printer preparation Tekna
Printer preparation (Optional)

The machine is prepared for the installation of a printer that can be selected from compatible models. The set-up includes software enabling for the label printing function, mechanical support elements for positioning on the machine, wiring and preparation for electrical connection, and a folding cover to protect the printer from shocks and possible entry of swarfs. The mechanical set-up for installation may vary according to the machine models.
