High-Speed Six-Side Cutting Process for Aluminum Slabs | 2MF TS HS + VFT HS

Turkey | Aluminium Service Centres

Project Overview

Client: Company specializing in the processing and distribution of aluminum alloys

Year: 2024

Technology: 2MF TS HS + VFT HS – Combined high-performance system for complete slab cutting

Location: Turkey

Industry: Aluminium Service Centres

The Challenge

The customer was looking for a complete and efficient solution to process cast aluminum slabs into precision-sized plates and sub-sections.

Key requirements included:

  • Performing complete six-side cutting of slabs with high dimensional accuracy
  • Operating at high cutting speeds while maintaining tight tolerances
  • Ensuring safe material handling throughout the process
  • Integrating an efficient chip extraction system to keep the working area clean
  • Providing high reliability during continuous multi-shift operations
  • Offering process flexibility, with the ability to handle slabs of various sizes and formats

The Solution

Friggi proposed a dual-machine cutting line, with two perfectly integrated systems designed to manage the entire slab cutting process:

2MF TS HS – Horizontal and Vertical Cutting (Top, Bottom, Head, Tail)

  • Moving table and fixed head for maximum stability and precision
  • Rotating blade guide 0°–90°, enabling both vertical and horizontal cuts on the same setup
  • Carbide-tipped high-speed blades (up to 3000 m/min)
  • Controlled, smooth movement, with no need for intermediate repositioning
  • Integrated chip extraction system
  • Dry cut technology, with no thermal deformation of the material

VFT HS – Vertical Longitudinal Side Cutting

  • Heavy-duty frame with fixed table and vertical sliding head
  • Designed for precise lateral slab trimming, with ±0.1 mm accuracy
  • Table with integrated spheres for easy and safe material handling
  • Works in perfect synergy with the 2MF TS HS to complete the six-side cutting cycle
  • Advanced HMI interface and digital control, fully Industry 4.0 ready

The Results

Thanks to the integrated 2MF TS HS + VFT HS line, the client achieved:

  • Complete six-side cutting of slabs quickly and efficiently, with no manual repositioning
  • Exceptional cutting precision, reducing the need for rework
  • A safer and cleaner production environment, thanks to integrated chip management
  • Increased operational efficiency, with continuous cycles and reduced downtimes
  • High process versatility, adaptable to various geometries and batch sizes
  • Fast ROI, driven by productivity, reliability, and reduced waste
