Rotary Knives for Cutting Plotters and CNC Applications
Rotary Knives for Precision Cutting
Rotary knives are rotating cutting tools used in cutting plotters, automated cutting systems and specialized machining applications. They are designed for precise and continuous cutting of a wide range of materials.
Depending on the application, rotary knives can be manufactured from different tool materials. Carbide rotary knives are particularly suitable for demanding applications where high wear resistance, dimensional stability and long tool life are required.
Rotary Knives for Cutting Plotters
Rotary knives are widely used in automated cutting systems and cutting plotters for producing precise cuts and contours.
Typical applications include cutting:

• Plastics
• Cardboard
• Paper
• Textiles and nonwovens
• Films
• Rubber
• Foams
• Composite materials

The rotating movement of the knife allows the cutting edge to follow the cutting path while maintaining continuous contact with the material.
Carbide Rotary Knives
Carbide is well suited for applications where high wear resistance and long service life are required. Carbide rotary knives can be manufactured with precisely ground cutting edges and application-specific geometries.
Depending on the cutting system, the knife can be designed with different diameters, thicknesses, mounting features and cutting angles.
Rotary Knives for CNC and Automated Cutting Systems
Special rotary cutting tools can also be used in automated machining and CNC-based cutting applications. The exact design depends on the machine, tool holder, cutting path and material being processed.
For complex contours and profiles, the knife geometry must be precisely matched to the machine and cutting process.
Precision Grinding
Precision grinding is essential for producing rotary knives with the required cutting-edge geometry and dimensional accuracy.
A precisely ground cutting edge helps achieve consistent cutting results and can contribute to reduced cutting forces and extended tool life.
Custom Rotary Knives
We manufacture custom rotary knives according to customer drawings, specifications or samples. Depending on the application, we can produce rotary knives with customized dimensions, mounting features, cutting angles and edge geometries.
For demanding applications, we can manufacture rotary knives from carbide and other suitable tool materials.
If you require rotary knives, carbide rotary knives or custom cutting blades for automated cutting systems, send us your drawing, sample or technical specifications.
