Oxy-Fuel Flame Cutting

Extreme-Thickness Heavy Carbon Steel Cutting

For cutting incredibly thick sections of mild, carbon, and low-alloy steels, CNC Oxy-Fuel cutting remains the undisputed champion. While laser and plasma technologies max out at thinner gauges, our multi-torch flame cutting systems effortlessly slice through heavy structural slabs, giant gear blanks, and massive base plates.

Operating some of the largest CNC burn tables in the global market, Openex is fully equipped to cut heavy plates reaching up to 500mm (nearly 20 inches) thick, and up to 24 meters in length. Whether you require rapid high-volume cutting of 100mm base plates or precision profiling of gigantic customized counterweights, our heavy flame cutting capabilities lay the foundation for world-class heavy fabrication.

The Openex Oxy-Fuel Advantage

Unmatched Depth Penetration

By utilizing a precise mixture of oxygen and fuel gas (pre-heating the metal to its ignition temperature), our CNC torches execute localized oxidation on an immense scale.

• ✔ Guaranteed straight edge profiles on materials up to 500mm thick.
• ✔ Excellent for counterweights, die blocks, and enormous machinery frames.

High-Volume Multi-Torch Gantries

Large projects require high output. Our 24-meter-long burn tables feature CNC gantries outfitted with up to 6 or 8 independent oxy-fuel torches acting in unison.

• ✔ Slash production times by profiling multiple identical heavy parts simultaneously.
• ✔ Drastically reduces cutting costs for bulk heavy component runs.
