V Cutting & 90° End Notching Machine: Precision and Versatility in Profile Cutting 

Precision and efficiency are paramount in industrial manufacturing. The VK 420 – V Cutting & 90° End Notching Machine stands out as a testament to these principles, designed to meet the exacting demands of cutting and notching aluminium profiles. This blog delves into the VK 420’s unique capabilities and explores its diverse applications across various industries. 

What sets the VK 420 apart  

1. Enhance Cutting Accuracy with Twin Blades  

Equipped with twin 420 mm saw blades, the VK 420 ensures precise, clean, and smooth cuts. Using high-quality saw blades reduces the likelihood of errors and rework, which can be costly, time-consuming and waste material. The VK 420 consistently delivers when the appearance of the cut edge is critical, such as visible architectural components and high-end retail fixtures. 

2. Versatility in Cutting and Notching 

Engineered to excel at performing V cuts, arrow cuts, and 90° end notching, it is an invaluable asset for manufacturers outputting cut aluminium for custom designs, greenhouses, window and door frames. This flexibility allows manufacturers to use a single machine for multiple operations, reducing the need for numerous specialised machines and saving on space and costs. 

3. Advanced Safety Features 

The VK 420 features a pneumatically operated safety guard that fully encloses the cutting area and automatically engages during cutting operations, ensuring consistent protection without manual intervention. Along with a two-handed operation and an emergency stop function, the VK 420 protects users and mitigates the likelihood of accidents caused by human error.    

4. Hydro-Pneumatic Sawing Heads 

The hydro-pneumatic system allows the user to finely adjust the sawing head finely, providing precise control over the cutting process. This adjustability ensures the machine can accommodate various profiles and materials, from delicate PVC to robust aluminium. This flexibility is essential for manufacturers with varied materials requiring precise cuts to meet specific design and structural requirements. 

5. Durable and Space-Efficient Design 

The VK 420 is practically designed to be compact, allowing it to fit into workshops with limited space without compromising functionality. Built with a robust frame and high-quality materials, the VK 420 is designed to withstand the rigours of continuous use. Its durable construction ensures long-term reliability, reducing the need for frequent maintenance and minimising downtime.

The VK 420 – V Cutting & 90° End Notching Machine exemplifies the marriage of precision and versatility in industrial machinery. Its exceptional precision, minimal waste, versatile cutting capabilities, advanced safety features, hydro-pneumatic sawing head, and compact, robust design make it an indispensable tool for workshops cutting aluminium. From construction to retail and architectural designs, the VK 420 enhances product quality and workshop efficiency, making it a valuable investment for manufacturers across various industries.
