Sec machines has launched mini ostrich, a light weight, portable yet robust shape cutting machine.. The shape cutting machine can be used on field jobs as well as in factories. The machine is designed with pentograph type arms, which keep the hinge points of all the arms parallel to the line of the tracing roller and the torch, thus providing a direct line guiding system. This is a simple and one of the most accurate magnetic tracing system, which helps in maintaining repeatability of the flame cut parts. The precision ball and needle bearing design of hinges ensure free and frictionless tracing, hence enabling greater cutting accuracy. The shape cutting machine is primarily meant for cutting different shapes such as stars, hexagons, squares, rectangles, circles, triangles, etc. And can also cut straight lines and bevels up to 45o. It can cut plates up to 180 mm thickness. The basic system of machine enables the torch to duplicate any intricate shape provided on a template on the machine. The carriage arm consists of a motor driven electro magnetic tracing head, the cutting torch travels round the template duplicating the exact shape of the template. The tracing head can be moved in clockwise or anti-clockwise direction by a selector switch.
