Profile Extrusion/Tube Cutting
Cutoff blades and knives are used for many types applications such as:
- Plastic extrusion cutoff - a common process in which extruded plastic material is cut to length at the end of the manufacturing process. Many OEMs and sophisticated end users have improved the performance of their extrusion cut-off line by using a customized shape from Cadence.
- Guillotine cutters or shears - typical cutting application in which long or large film, foil, paper and non-woven products are cut into smaller or shorter parts as needed.
- Rotary tube cutoff - process that uses a rotating blade to cut plastic, rubber, or metal tubing to length.
- We also offer innovative blades designed to meet increasing demand for high performance tubing required for medical, laboratory and biopharm applications. To find out more about MEDXX Cutting Blades click here.
Custom Considerations

- Material selection for max wear resistance vs. toughness
- Edge geometry to balance cut force with blade life
- Angle of cut determined by blade shape
