Ceramic fiber blanket, as a high-temperature refractory material, is widely used in metallurgy, chemical, and building material industries. However, the cutting process generates fine debris that poses significant health risks; skin irritation upon contact, and potential respiratory hazards when inhaled. Traditional manual cutting is not only inefficient but also exposes operators to long-term risks.
The IECHO SK2 High-Precision Multi-industry Flexible Material Cutting System, with “fully automated cutting”, fundamentally solves both the safety pain points and efficiency bottlenecks of ceramic fiber blanket cutting, while helping enterprises achieve cost reduction and efficiency improvement in a slowing economic environment.
Automated Closed-Loop Operation
Through a “fully automated closed-loop workflow” design, the SK2 eliminates manual involvement: integrated with automatic feeding, cutting, and unloading, the equipment requires only initial data input. Its technological advantages address both efficiency and precision challenges.
4 Core Advantages
The SK2 is tailored to the unique properties of ceramic fiber blanket (loose texture, easy debris formation, need for precise shaping), offering a dedicated cutting solution across efficiency, precision, cost, and versatility:
1. High Efficiency
Automated workflow: Equipped with a fully automatic feeding mechanism (supports both roll and sheet materials), achieving uninterrupted cutting without manual intervention.
High-speed operation: Cutting speed up to 2500 mm/s; 6 to 8 times faster than manual cutting. Combined with continuous operation, a single machine delivers 4 to 6 times the daily output of manual work, ideally suited for mass customization needs such as metallurgical furnace linings and industrial boiler insulation layers, shortening order lead times.
2、High Precision
Ceramic fiber blankets are used in high-temperature equipment for sealing and insulation, requiring extremely precise cutting (e.g., shaped interfaces, tight seams). The SK2 ensures accuracy through:
Imported servo motors and high-precision pulse encoders, achieving positioning accuracy of ±0.05 mm and cutting trajectory deviation within ±0.1 mm, eliminating issues like dimensional drift or rough edges, and ensuring fit consistency in batch products.
Adaptive cutting pressure, automatically adjusting depth based on density and thickness, preventing material breakage from excessive pressure or incomplete cuts from insufficient force, ensuring stable quality for every cut.
3、Maximum Material Savings
As an industrial consumable, ceramic fiber blanket carries high material costs. Traditional manual nesting often results in low material utilization. The SK2 maximizes savings through:
Intelligent nesting software that automatically reads cutting data and applies a nesting optimization algorithm, tightly arranging parts of various sizes and shapes, eliminating gaps and waste common in manual nesting.
4、Strong Versatility
Ceramic fiber blanket manufacturers often need to cut other flexible refractory materials. The SK2, with its modular design, offers one-machine-multi-use without the need for additional equipment:
Interchangeable cutting heads: Supports vibrating knife (ceramic fiber blanket, glass fiber), circular knife (prepreg), and punching tool (refractory mats requiring holes), quickly switching to meet different process needs.
Multi-format data compatibility: Direct import of DXF, AI, PLT, SVG formats without conversion, and seamless connection to enterprise CAD systems, enabling a smooth “design-to-cutting” workflow.
Flexible deployment: Operates as a stand alone unit or integrates via industrial bus into automated production lines, enabling end-to-end automation from raw material to finished product, further reducing manual steps.
Conclusion
The IECHO SK2 High-Precision Multi-industry Flexible Material Cutting System is not only a key device for addressing the health hazards of ceramic fiber blanket cutting, but also a strategic tool for enterprises seeking cost reduction, efficiency gains, and operational resilience. With automation, precision, and versatility, it redefines the cutting standards for flexible refractory materials, allowing companies to achieve sustainable growth with lower costs, higher efficiency, and safer production.
