Diagonal cutters for plastic and other soft materials.
Why special diagonal cutters are needed for plastic:
- The cutting edges of diagonal cutters used for wire are ground to produce a wedge-shaped cut towards the centre of the cut product.
- This wedge ultimately splits the cut material apart, and the wire ends separated in this way have wedge-shaped cut surfaces.
- A flush, smooth cut is desired when separating moulded parts and sprues, in order to create the least finishing work when deburring.
- Diagonal cutters used here must not have any bevel so as to create a straight cut surface.
- The Knipex 72 01 160 diagonal cutters have been specially developed for plastics and other soft materials. Their cutting edges are surface ground.
For flush deburring after injection moulding:
- The Knipex 72 01 160 is used in plastics production when, for example, plastic moulded parts need to be mechanically separated from sprue after demoulding.
- The surface ground cutting faces permit the clean, flush disconnection of extruded plastic injection moulds and sprues or sprue residues.
- The sprue is cut off directly on the moulded part, because the cutting edge runs parallel to the component.
With opening spring to relieve strain on the user – compact and stable:
- In many cases, work steps in plastic injection moulding and other production processes repeat.
- Anyone who frequently separates sprues from moulded parts therefore appreciates the opening spring on the Knipex 72 01 160, because it saves an additional hand movement every time.
- At 160 mm long and weighing 164 g, the Knipex diagonal cutters for plastics are compact enough for mobile use in production.
- They are designed for many years of hard use in industry.
- We forge the 72 01 160 diagonal cutters from vanadium electric steel.
- We give them their high strength by heating and then quenching them in oil.
