Global Cutting Technologies Ltd

Swing Arm Presses (Swing Beam Presses)

Part of the Nova Range

The starting point in our die cutting range with a huge range of uses and applications across manufacturing industry.

These machines are safe and simple to operate with the operator having only to place the material on the bed of the press, position the cutting tool on the material and press the twin, operating buttons. The beam descends under hydraulic power to cut the required cut shape from single or multiple layers of material.

To assure maximum access and visibility, the swing arm can be easily moved (or swung) to one side by the operator in order to gather cut pieces and re-position the tool for the next cut.
