High Speed: Live demonstration of Optima VI Compact

This week the HIGH-PERFORMANCE SAWING CENTER OPTIMA VI KOMPAKT can be seen in our factory in Grossselfingen. In combination with a 6-axis machining module with up to 16 milling units and/or automatic counter milling, very short cycle times are possible thanks to the accelerated cutting.

Thanks to the highly efficient process with cutting and cutting in one sawing process, very high capacity can be achieved when cutting plastic profiles for window construction on the RAPID Optima VI sawing center...

Universal clamping system for Deceuninck Elegant

New for the RAPID GLI glazing bead saw

With the introduction of fiberglass technology "ThermoFibra" and elegant plastic windows from Deceuninck with glazing beads in a 90° look, a new area of ​​application for the high-precision glazing bead saw RAPID GLI was opened up.

The GLI is traditionally used in the production of aluminum windows. The precision saw from RAPID meets the high requirements in terms of length and angle accuracy and is perfect for the cubic, angular Elegant glazing bead system.

For the new application, RAPID engineers have developed a clamping system without changing the contour blocks. All glazing beads of the new generation of designer windows from Deceuninck, regardless of their shape and width, can be cut in pairs to 90° without retooling.

Two measuring systems are available:

- manual measuring system with a measuring stick for 4 different lengths

- electronic length stop combined with a radio measuring stick
