Engis launches Electrogrip slitting blades for composites

Engis UK can provide Electrogrip electroplated diamond slitting blades to tackle the challenges posed by hard-to-cut composites, including dry and prepregnated composites, fibreglass, Bakelite, melamine and other abrasive-filled materials, along with non-woven and technical textiles, foils and light gauge metals and custom laminates.

Production using these materials is often carried out on purpose-built machinery and, when a standard solution is not appropriate, Engis can design and manufacture slitting blades to suit a client's specific requirements. Engis says that Electrogrip electroplated diamond slitting blades cut freely, quickly and efficiently (either dry or wet) and are available in a range of blade types and diameters from 25 to 500 mm. Engis also offers a blade strip and re-plate service.
