The Challenge

The customer wanted to improve its cutting process to:

• Ensure consistent cut lengths
• Achieve a clean, straight 90° cut, free of burrs or irregularities
• Process different rubber thicknesses on a single machine
• Speed up loading to maintain production pace
• Reduce operator fatigue through automatic material feed

The customer needed an automated, reliable, and repeatable solution capable of replacing strenuous manual handling.

CNM’s Solution

CNM Process offers an automatic cutting machine for rubber hoses and profiles, designed to ensure precision, repeatability, and ease of use, with four key technical advantages:

• Clean and perfectly straight 90° cuts thanks to a blade actuated by a pneumatic cylinder
• Repeatability of ±1 mm to ensure consistent length on each part
• Fully automated cycle: enter the length and quantity, then the machine runs automatically
• Compatible with flexible, semi-rigid, and reinforced rubber, featuring motorized feed and automatic stop at the end of the run

Overall, the solution reduces operator intervention, improves productivity, and ensures consistent cut quality throughout production.

The Manufacturing Process

The machine automatically feeds the material and performs the cutting operations based on the parameters entered by the operator, offering several key advantages:

• Easy entry of the cutting length and number of parts via the HMI
• Automatic feed via a motorized conveyor, ensuring smooth, even progression
• Precise length measurement using motor encoders to trigger each cut at the right moment
• Automatic shutdown once the programmed quantity is reached, without the need for continuous operator supervision

The Benefits of Our Machine

The CNM Process automatic cutting machine guarantees precise and repeatable production thanks to a clean 90° cut, automated motorized feed, and high processing versatility. Designed to minimize operator intervention, it ensures reliable operation while maintaining a constant production rate.
