Kerf Developments is set to unveil new product lines at Mach 2024, with its stand promising a more diverse and comprehensive range than previously shown. Located on stand 330 in Hall 6, the Rochdale-based company, known for its oxy/fuel, plasma, waterjet and fibre laser cutting machines, will be showcasing two new machines at the event. These launches will be supported by automated cutting and welding solutions from its technical partner, Lincoln Electric.

The highlight will be the debut of the Kerf Ultra, a machine that integrates oxy/fuel and plasma cutting in a single solution. This innovation is designed to increase cutting capabilities, flexibility and processing speed for users, while minimising set-up times and material handling. The Kerf Ultra is characterised by its ability to combine the precision and speed of laser cutting with plasma cutting technology, marking a significant advancement in profile cutting technology.

The Ultra model features a new motion system and linear carriage technology mounted on a completely new machine frame design to provide vibration-free cutting even under the most demanding conditions. This design ensures a smooth cutting motion and superior cut quality, potentially eliminating the need for secondary hand finishing.

From a technical standpoint, the Ultra is built on a solidly constructed portal frame with independent rails and offers cutting table sizes ranging from 3 m x 1.5 m to 40 m x 4 m. It features the Burny 10 LCD Plus CNC control and a new heat shield system to improve performance and durability. The machine can be equipped with Ultra Sharp plasma technology, configured as a single or multi-head oxy-fuel cutting machine, or a combination of both. A wide range of Lincoln Electric Fineline plasma units are available to meet different customer requirements.

An innovative feature of the Ultra machine is the oxy-fuel Automatic Gas Console (AGC), which aims to alleviate the industry's skills shortage by emulating the expertise of experienced operators through pre-programmed technology databases. This system optimises variables such as cutting heights and gas pressures, improving cut quality, reducing gas consumption and extending consumable life.

In addition, Kerf will be showcasing the Linc-Cut Fiber 1530A fibre laser system, a new offering for the UK market, details of which will be announced closer to the show. The partnership with Lincoln Electric, a leading manufacturer of cutting and welding equipment, will also be a focal point at Mach. Lincoln representatives will be showcasing the latest in collaborative robotic welding with the Linc-Cobot system, as well as demonstrating Python X automated cutting and Zeman automated beam welding technologies.

Kerf's comprehensive product portfolio and collaboration with Lincoln Electric positions the company as a leading provider of cutting and welding solutions in the UK and aims to act as a 'one-stop-shop' for profiling needs at Mach 2024.
