Wire-cutting machine

Wire-cutting machine

This wire-cutting machine cuts pipes for the oil and gas industry. Since the working environment is dirty and damp, the use of conventional metal bearings was not practical. Instead, the design engineers chose iglidur® plain bearings from igus®, which are resistant to dirt and water and also dampen machine vibrations during the cutting process.
