Automated cutting systems built for precision products
Getting a clean, accurate cut — at speed and at scale — requires more than off-the-shelf equipment. AIR invents, designs, manufactures, installs, and supports cutting automation systems tailored to the exact needs of your production line, across a wide range of industries and materials.
Capabilities
Automated cutting machines, refined for your production line
To create a solution that works within your production line, we design cutting technology automation using varying techniques to give you the desired end result:
- Wafer cut and placeCut wafers accurately into the desired number of blocks and to both the correct width and length.
- Static blade cuttingCleanly cut products as desired, to enable high speed and precision.
- Rotary blade cuttingAdd flexibility to your production and improve the accuracy and precision of your product cutting — suited to all industries.
- TrepanningRemove a solid core from a piece of round bar or material — designed to operate at different radii to meet your specific requirements.
- Ultrasonic cutting toolsUse ultrasonic energy to cut through objects in a range of difficult materials in varying thickness, accurately and precisely.
- Guillotine systemsGuarantee a clean cut of a product across a variety of sectors.
- Walking beam cuttersMove products along your production line via a beam in the direction of the cutting equipment.
- Inline product cutting with servo controlControl the speed of a cutting process while the product is inline with the tool.
Approach
Clean. Fast. Precise. Customized automated cutting for the highest quality products.
Using the latest cutting technologies, we manufacture cutting automation solutions which operate at high speeds, whilst also offering high standards of precision, accuracy, and a clean quality of cut.
- From initial concept through to installation and ongoing support, we manage the entire process so your cutting system integrates smoothly and keeps running reliably
- Our systems are designed to be robust and reliable, and ensure any wear and tear is minimal until the blade requires replacing
- We can create systems for hardening and tempering materials, especially for those products which require strong materials, such as razor blades
- All our mechanical cutting systems are designed to include blades that are easy to remove
- Our extraction system makes the disposal of debris simple
- We use automated cutting technologies with longevity at the forefront to give you that added peace of mind
- Our after-sales support means that once your cutting blade is no longer performing at the optimum levels, we have the spare parts to replace it
Impact
Automated cutting that delivers speed, accuracy, and compliance
Modern manufacturing demands speed, consistency, and zero tolerance for waste. AIR’s automated cutting systems deliver all three — integrating seamlessly into your production line to eliminate manual bottlenecks and drive measurable results from day one.
- Increased throughputOperate continuously without fatigue, dramatically increasing the volume your line can process per shift.
- Improved overall equipment effectiveness (OEE)Reduce downtime, increase throughput, and raise the overall performance of your production line.
- Less wasteMinimize wear and tear with blades that are easy to remove and extraction systems that make debris disposal simple.
- More consistent, repeatable resultsRemove manual variability to ensure every cut meets your exact specification, and exact tolerances, batch after batch.
- Increased profitabilityFree your team from repetitive, physically demanding tasks so they can focus on higher-value work.
- Better workplace safetyRemove operators from direct contact with cutting equipment to reduce injury risk and support a safer production environment.
- Effortless scaling with demandWhether you’re running short custom batches or high-volume production runs, automated systems adapt without retooling delays.
- Minimized downtimePredictive maintenance capabilities and robust system design keep your cutting operations running when it matters most.
