Maximum efficiency in cutting and recovering metal reinforcements: less waste, more sustainability, perfect synergy with PVC

STEEL CONNECT is the high-performance CNC cutting centre designed to automate and optimise the production of internal steel reinforcements in PVC profiles. Equipped with a Ø350 mm descending blade controlled for precision, it combines accuracy, continuous production, and electronic wear monitoring to ensure perfect cuts every time.

Thanks to its compatibility with GRAF Synergy PVC cutting centres, STEEL CONNECT enables synchronized and centralised production, managed through advanced software for importing and optimising cutting lists.

With the addition of the optional CONNIE module, it transforms into an automated welding centre for metal sections, drastically reducing waste and making it economically viable to recover materials that have previously gone unused.

5 Reasons to Choose STEEL CONNECT

Fast and Reliable Cutting. Reduces execution times thanks to controlled downward movement and integrated software.
Synchronized production. Seamless processing that integrates perfectly with GRAF Synergy cutting and working centres for PVC.
Smart Waste Recovery. With the CONNIE module, you can weld metal scraps while optimising material usage.
Advanced electronic control. Speed and blade wear are electronically managed for consistent results and increased tool longevity.
Intuitive interface and flexible configurations. User-friendly software that is suitable for non-expert operators, with a wide range of available options.
