We see ourselves as a complete systems supplier for the com-
plete solution of your profile and tube processing applications.
To this end, Metzner has a capable engineering team with long
years of experience in the provision of convincing solutions,
pointing the way to achieving your targets in costing, quality
and production.
As an active partner in many different sectors, we are well familiar with
the high standards you require in cut quality, length precision and exact

deal with your applications in material handling, take-off, sorting and
packaging with integrated quality monitoring and automated documen-
tation.
Our comprehensive range of machinery for cut-to-length applications in
rubber and plastics extends from inexpensive universal cutting machines
to fully-automated production systems. On the following pages, we set
out for you the different processes together with the associated features
and benefits.
Ready for Your Materials
With our solutions, we concentrate principally on several material groups
listed on page 4. Depending on the material characteristics, we thus
offer you the optimal production process. You can profit from our wide
experience, gained in many comparable applications!

Three Versions: Red – Green – Blue
As a result of dialogue with end-users and driven by the wishes of our
customers, we have used our extensive range of cutting machine designs
as the basis for the creation of three different equipment lines:
»Red – Green – Blue«.
Each version uses the same basis model with the same high-perfor-
mance mechanical components. The individual equipment levels are
tailored to the requirements of different customer groups as follows:
Red: The base model with solid and robust basic functions, a reduced
specification, a lower-cost control system and a lower – but for many
applications quite adequate – working speed.
Green: Stands for a complete, fully-equipped version, a control system
with more operator-friendly features, higher working speeds, higher
torque capability and integrated conectors for peripheral units.
Blue: Stands for a versatile and powerful version, a feature rich control
system, highest working speeds, maximum torque capability and a
complete set of integrated conectors for peripheral units.

Profiles and Tubes: Flexible without Steel Reinforcement
Flexible profiles, tubes and hoses are generally processed with modular
cutting machines, universal cutting machines, eccentric-drive cutting
machines or fly-knife cutting machines. More information: Page 5
Profiles and Tubes: Flexible with Steel Reinforcement
For materials with steel reinforcement, circular blade cutting machines
are employed. These work with great precision and repeatability, giving
un-beatable product characteristics. More information: Page 13
Profiles and Tubes: Rigid without Steel Reinforcement
Rigid profiles that are processed in-line require a particular cutting
process whereby the cutting tool moves in synchrony with the product
to be cut. More information: Page 16
Profiles and Tubes: Rigid with Steel Reinforcement
For the in-line production of rigid cut profiles, hoses and tubes with steel
reinforcement we offer rapid and precise traveling-head machines to
guarantee outstanding cut quality. More information: Page 16
Plain Section Gaskets
Plain section gaskets have always required a special cutting process:
cutting on mandrels, a circular knife cut or cutting with a thin blade:
three alternatives for an optimal solution. More information: Page 22
Special Materials, Woven Glass Fibre, etc.
Other non-plastics materials (e.g. metal foils or woven glass fibre) can
be cut very well on our machines. Make use of our experience – we can
create such solutions for you.

The basic idea: Cutting machines that fit flexibly and individually with customers’
requirements and are available in the shortest time with practically no development
being necessary.
Many processing and cutting tasks are as varied as the materials themselves. With the MBS-
System it is possible for you to combine more than 130 standard components together to fit
your requirements. Just like building blocks, the appropriate elements are selected and applied.
Elements like the type and number of cutting tools, length of the transport conveyor (from
200mm up to 800mm) and width (from 200mm up to 400mm), control system, feed-in device,
working direction, nature of the transport conveyor surface covering and the support framework:
all these are tailored to the needs and demands of the customer and the materials. Thanks to this
flexibility, there are virtually no limits to meeting and satisfying your requirements.
The use of standard components makes it possible to create the MBS machines very quickly with
very little further development. Modular cutting machines are thus not only matched to proces-
sing requirements but are also extremely economical and efficient. In addition, all MBS machines
are equipped as standard to be fully integrated with peripheral systems such as take-off and feed
mechanisms, throw-off devices and winders, printers and marking units.

Choosing the correct tool is as important for a good cutting result as the choice of
the cutting machine itself. The cutting method, the cutting force and the form of the
knife must all be right for the material and the processing requirements so that they
are matched perfectly to the particular task in hand.
The basic idea: Choose the right machine for your application from eight different cutting techno-
logies or even equip one machine with several tools for various tasks. The MBS range offers you
the possibilities you are looking for: die cut, shear cut, tube cut, draw cut, hot cut and rotation
cut. For applications that demand more than just cutting to length, there are cutting tools with
stamped or cut-out contours or drilling tools. And there’s the option to combine a number of tools
in one machine to carry out more than one function in parallel or sequentially – the MBS range
makes it possible.
As a complete systems supplier, Metzner develops and manufactures all its own tooling, enabling
us to guarantee short delivery times and ensure the appropriate matching of tooling to processing
requirements.

The basic idea: Robust and reliable base models, equipped with the correct cutting
technology (die cut, shear cut, tube cut) and a choice of »Red – Green – Blue« equip-
ment levels.
Metzner universal cutting machines are designed for automatic cut-to-length and cutting of a wide
spectrum of materials. For flexible profiles, tubes, plastic pipe, lace, seals, film, labels, cables, braids
and wires, our universal cutting machines deliver precise results with good cut quality and high
working speeds. The KL-BV has a place on its own in the universal machine category: it is designed
for precise cut-to-length of elastic and pressure-sensitive tubing.
The three equipment levels Red – Green – Blue are differentiated by the following features:
Red: Dependable basic functionality, very attractive price, reduced conveyor speed and compatibili-
ty with peripheral equipment as a stand-alone unit.
Green: Easy-to-use controls, higher working speed, integral connections for peripheral units, PC-
operation and printing.
Blue: Touch-screen operation and Metzner PLC (with CoDeSys programming), highest working
speed, integral connections for peripheral units, PC-operation and printing.

continuous cutting, different machine sizes for materials up to 120mm diameter, knife
lubrication and peripherals interfacing as standard.
The Dynamat machines process elastic materials with precision and high repeatability – from
silicone tubing for medical applications, textile-reinforced hoses to profiles. It makes no difference
whether the material comes from a single extruder or is unwound from a reel.

If a die cut at very high speed is required and the pneumatic
drive has reached its limit, the eccentric-drive cut opens new
possibilities in terms of cutting performance.
The basic idea: With the Metzner ST 25, instead of a pneumatically
driven cutting tool, we use an electrically-driven eccentric mechanism
bearing the cutting tool. In this way, we can achieve ground-breaking
guillotine cutting performance of up to 800 cuts/minute.
A beneficial side effect: the electric drive enables the ST 25 to work
very quietly, making this model the choice for customers in low-noise
environments.
For the eccentric-drive machines, we offer the interesting
»Red – Green – Blue« equipment levels with the following features:
Red: PLC-controls with 2-line display; max. cutting speed 400 cuts/
minute.
Green: Metzner PLC-controls with touch-screen and CoDeSys program-
ming; cutting speed max. 400 cuts/minute.
Blue: Lenze PLC-controls with touch-screen and CoDeSys programming;
cutting speed max. 800 cuts/minute.

The basic idea: The CCM machines are designed specifically to meet the material
requirements of metal-reinforced sealing profiles and tubes as well as sponge rubber
seals. The circular knife provides the correct conditions for penetration and cutting of
rubber and metal and gives extremely good cutting quality by the combination with
other parameters such as optimized material in-feed, knife rotation speed and direc-
tion, knife penetration rate and lubrication.
The freely-programmable controls enable the varying demands of different profile contours and
compounds to be exactly matched, saved in a single working program and called up by the press of
a button. Thanks to the intuitive logical operator guide, a new processing program can be created
in a few minutes. We offer the three equipment levels »Red – Green – Blue« for the CCM machines
with the following features:
Red: Metzner PLC-controls with colour touch-screen and CoDeSys programming and circular knife
penetration with pneumatic linear drive; max. belt conveyor speed 60m/min.
Green: Metzner PLC-controls with colour touch-screen and CoDeSys programming and servo-linear
drive for the circular knife penetration; max. belt conveyor speed 60 m/min.
Blue: Siemens S7 PLC-controls with colour touch-screen and servo-linear drive for the circular knife
penetration; max. belt conveyor speed 120 m/min.

As one of the leading manufacturers of cutting machines, we offer you – alongside path-finding basic functions – seven further possibilities to use a CCM machine to increase your production:
1. Gap detection: The optional gap detection positions the cut exactly in the gap in the metal carrier and thus gives a snag-free cut. This improves the cut and increases the life of the circular knife between sharpenings.
2. Profile clamping: Profile clamping provides an optimal fix of the product during the cut and by using abrasive discs the cut surfaces are further improved to provide optimum conditions for joining the sealing profiles, without the need for any subsequent post-cutting work such as de-spragging.
3. Additional cutting tool: The circular knife cutting machines CCM 4 and CCM 6 are equipped for the use of an additional cutting tool. This makes the Metzner circular cutting machine a real all-rounder that can also be used for materials without steel reinforcement.
4. Automatic scrap cut: For automatic quality control, this option of-fers an independent scrap cut facility for faulty material areas and avoids the processing of parts which fail to meet the required specification.
5. Cutting based on marking: Metzner offers the required solution for cutting exactly at a marked position. A sensor recognises the marked position and directs the cut precisely to a point at a chosen distance from a particular feature of the profile.
6. External production management station: With an additional communication element, the CCM machines send production status information to an external production management station and can, if required, be operated fully remotely.
7. E-Service Module: With the E-Service Module, the Metzner CCM machines receive an unique IP address or access to a mobile radio network. In this way, the facilities of Metzner Service can effectively and economically support you in fault-finding, spare part advice and repair recommendations.

The basic idea: Traveling-head machines for in-line processing of rigid profiles are
often regarded as the »King Discipline« of cutting machine technology. Intensive dia-
logue with leading end-users and the many years of experience of our engineers have
produced a ground-breaking product concept.
Thanks to a servo-linear drive as standard for the working tool carrier, the traveling-head machines
achieve a very long processing time of several seconds for outstanding end-cut quality. At the same
time, a very short cycle time is achieved for the processing of short part lengths at high line speeds.
In addition, there is a servo-linear drive for the circular knife penetration with varying penetration
speeds for different parts of the material section, for example a careful knife entry speed or a knife
exit at lower speed to reduce the formation of sprags.
We also offer a great choice of knife rotation speed range alternatives, from 2,000 - 6,000 rpm or
4,000 -12,000 rpm. In this way, there are no limits to the use of different types of circular knife ty-
pes, including clamp/cut in traveling head operation. For complete in-line processing of rigid plastic
profiles, our traveling-head machines offer a powerful platform that can be adapted to many tasks
by the employment of rapid-change tooling or drilling and milling modules.

Wherever the precision in-line processing of rigid materials without steel reinforcement is called for, our TCM machines provide the solution.
• Automatic synchronisation with the line speed
• Flexible platform, which embrace cutting tools, drilling or milling modu-les, according to requirements
• Integral take-off belt with flexible length for taking away cut parts
• Machine can be used in-line
Metzner CCM 6
Traveling-head and similarly stationary circular cutting machines for in-line processing of rigid, semi-rigid and flexible profiles and tubes with metal carrier.
• Automatic synchronisation with the line speed
• Outstanding dynamics for the very long and extremely short processing times
• Versatile expansion options to match changing application requirements
• Integral take-off belt with flexible length for taking away cut parts
• Machine can be used in-line
The basic idea: With an automatic single-pass cutting machine, tooling and machi-
ne blend into one high-performance system with high output rates and impressive
flexibility.
Sealing profiles for the automobile industry, but also for applications in furniture, thermal insulation
for buildings or in household goods often require complex cutting processes, as these illustrations
show. Process such as drilling and milling can also be integrated in these one-pass machines.
For tasks of this nature, Metzner’s convincing capabilities provide a range of automatic single-pass
guillotines. The common feature of all these machines is the storing of all the processing parameters
and associated machine settings in a single processing recipe. At the start of production, an built-in
barcode scanner reads the data from the production paperwork, activates the saved parameters
and shows the required tooling and material on the operator panel display. The barcode also con-
tains the required quantities and lengths to be produced. Thanks to well thought-out quick-change
systems, the necessary tooling and material changeover is performed rapidly – generally within 30
seconds – to minimise downtime. The integral tool coding system then independently checks to
ensure that the correct tooling is in place.

• Standard equipment includes PLC controls, barcode activation and program-controlled end sensing unit
The basic idea: For all work processes that cannot be carried out in the extrusion line
or in an automatic pass, off-line converting work stations are employed.
For these applications, Metzner combines its own tool-making capability with its experience in
machine building to create economical and functional work stations for precision end-cutting with
matrix tools and saw units for rigid and flexible profiles.
Depending on the task in hand, single, multiple or interchangeable tools are used. With a special
tooling arrangement, Metzner also offers the flexibility to change from manual operations to
automatic cycle machinery. In this way, our customers are able flexibly to accommodate changing
quantity demands and choose the most economical method of production.
As well as the development and manufacture of tooling, Metzner also undertakes sample produc-
tion for customers and machinery capability proving tests, as well as process start-up and integrati-
on into production in the customer’s factory.

The basic idea: Highest productivity combined with highest precision is the outstan-
ding characteristic offered by automatic Metzner Transfer Type Machines.
Metzner develops and builds automatic transfer type machines for the complex finishing of automo-
tive seals for example at the Glass Run Channel or the Door Weather Strip. In the process, mounted
within a special clamping, the profile is transported automatically to individual cutting stations by a
transfer system. Phase-controlled by a programmable system, the particular cutting is then perfor-
med at the tooling station. After all individual steps are completed, the processed part is dispensed.
The processing within a fixed clamping combined with the precision of a servo-system and
additional positioning sensors guarantees the compliance with continuously tighter manufacturing
tolerances and high repetition precision.
Metzner transfer type machines offer an especially high cost-effectiveness for vehicles produced
between 50.000 and 250.00 units per year.
Automatic component feeding and component take-off with a robot or other handling systems put
unmanned manufacturing within reach.

Steel reinforced, rigid or semi-rigid profiles play an important role in automotive sealing. For example at the windshield seal or the glass run seal. The Metzner Transfer Type Machines are engineered to process metal reinforced profiles from their state right after extrusion, into a state ready for assembly at one go.
The machines need to combine cutting technology for cuts through soft rubber and for cuts through rigid metal in order to achieve the high precision and repeatability required by the automotive industry. They build on high performance saw units and the profound experience Metzner has as one of the leading manufacturer of cutting machines.
Transfer Type Machines for Off-line Notching and Finishing
• Automated end-processing of cut-to-length profiles, flexible or metal reinforced
• Up to 30 individual, complex and custom engineered cutting stations to guarantee high finishing
quality and repeatability
• Individual, simultaneous processing for both ends of the profile
• Smooth but yet antislip mounting on a special slider with active clamping to provide twist-free
material insertion into the cutting stations
• Automatic, sensor based quality control at the end of the processing
• Fast and error free processing
• Very high cost effectivness for parts produced between 50,000 and 250,000 pieces per year.
The basic idea: Sealing systems often require ventilation drillings or location holes.
For this purpose, Metzner drilling units are employed. We deliver the following solu-
tions to match your requirements:
• In-line eccentric-drive drilling station for regular drillings at constant pitch
• In-line traveling-head drilling station for constant or variable pitch drillings
• In-line »Drilling Beam« to drill all holes for a complete profile at different pitches at once
• Off-line for drilling in combination with end cutting
Metzner drilling units are distinguished by drill spindles with very high speeds up to 60,000 rpm.
This gives precision drillings with short cycle times. The drill geometry ensures that the waste
generally falls to the outside. Pneumatically driven drilling spindles have the advantage of lower
investment cost but have higher running costs. Electrically driven drilling spindles cost less to run
but are a more expensive investment.
In addition, Metzner supplies laser drilling systems for in-line operation. Lasers are more expensive
but offer the advantage of processing variable hole pitches during automatic running and can be
employed in changeover to different profiles.

Plain section gaskets are frequently to be found in many objects of daily use. Water
taps, spray cans, infusion bottles or oil filters in motor cars – all these would be unu-
sable without a properly functioning plain section gasket.
Plain section gaskets can only fulfill their purpose when the surfaces are cut completely evenly and
homogenously. At the same time, these gaskets are also a mass-production article that must be
available at a very low unit price. For these reasons, they must be produced on high-performance
machines with high output capacity. Virtually all plain section gaskets have a diameter that is
considerably larger than the length, so that specialised cutting procedures are necessary for defect-
free production. With our impressive experience in this field, we offer you three different cutting
processes:
• Parting-off cut or cutting on support mandrels
• Circular knife cut
• Draw cut or thin blade cut
The feature that these three processes have in common is a precise cut at different cutting rates
and price levels.
cutting plain section gasketsp o w e r f u l p e r f o r m a n c e f o r h i g h q u a n t i t y o u t p u t
The basic idea: Metzner mandrel cutting machines of the SR
range are precision machines for cutting gasket rings from
moulded or extruded tubes. The distinguishing features are the
unique cutting method and the high cut quality.
To produce the plain section gaskets, rubber tubes – already cut to
length – are stretched onto mandrels. Loading and unloading of the
tubes onto the mandrels is done quickly by a special unit and without
any particular skill being required. Then the mandrels are automatically
clamped between rotating centres and the production is started.
A knife carriage travels along the tubes, cutting the rings to the required
length, either with stiletto-type tools or circular knives.
This process fully brings together high output and the highest cut quality.
The use of the most modern servo-technologies makes the SR machines
even more versatile: knife penetration speed and carriage advance are
fully free-programmable – for optimal processing of materials with
different characteristics. The SR range includes two and seven-spindle
machines, so that Metzner can offer you the most economical solution
for different capacity requirements.

For technical reasons, brake pipes can be only be made in fixed lengths of for example
6 metres. For assembly into vehicles, however, lengths of between 70mm and 800mm
are required. With a machinery installation from Metzner, the pipes are cut into the re-
quired tube lengths at lightning speed (1.2 seconds per tube) and with high precision
(± 0.25mm).
But the demands go further: Because the woven reinforcement can contain defects, the machine
has to recognise faults in the material layers that lie below the surface, reliably cut them out and
automatically separate them.
As the defects can appear in random locations, Metzner is presented with the additional task of
evaluating the remaining good product after the defect location and to cut a selection of different
set lengths, in order to minimise the number of reject parts. Subsequently, parts of the same length
are sorted into different storage containers.
Another new feature is the integral energy-saving concept: If there is a pause in the automatic
feeding of the brake pipes of more than 60 seconds, then the machine switches to an energy-saving
standby mode and is immediately ready to produce on receipt of the next part.
converting machinery for brake pipesr a p i d – h i g h - p r e c i s i o n – i n t e l l i g e n t s o f t w a r e c o n c e p t
Working with leading manufacturers in the truck and commercial vehicle sector, Metz-
ner have developed automatic converting lines to process truck brake pipes which
provide enormous benefits to the users.
The tubes, with diameters of between 4mm and 16mm, are drawn by the Metzner machine from a
coil, cut to exactly the right length and printed to the customer’s specification (ink jet or laser prin-
ting, thermal transfer printing or with adhesive labels) and then stacked, bundled or wound. At the
end of a material roll, the machine gives an optical signal and a message on the display. The opera-
tor can then load another material roll to continue the automatic production without interruption.
Depending on the number of pipes per vehicle, a Metzner converting line of this type produces
brake pipes for 50 to 100 vehicles per shift and the machinery is fully integrated into the customer’s
computer-aided manufacturing system. The data sets for the production are transferred from a
central computer to the converting line, which then sends back the necessary status information.

Weight saving for energy conservation is one of the main themes in vehicle design.
Metzner is playing its part in this by the development and supply of converting machi-
nery for pre-preg material used in the manufacture of vehicle components.
The machines designed by Metzner first monitor the quality of the pre-preg material at a speed of
1 metre/second using a camera system. Defective material is cut out and separated. The defect-free
material is cut into the required lengths and arranged according to pre-set plans in numerous layers
and in different positions. Certain vehicle components also require cut-outs and shaping of the pre-
preg materials and subsequently the exact positioning of the cut relative to a material feature.
The machine then performs further quality control functions with automatic documentation and
back-traceability.

As well as high-quality processing machinery, Metzner also offers quick, product-
friendly and economical peripheral equipment to extend your cutting machine into an
automatic processing line.
Thanks to the wide spectrum of integratable systems, you can automate your cutting machine to
suit your particular requirements. From a simple dereeler, right up to fully-automated production,
we can offer an optimal solution to increase your productivity. We divide our peripherals into the
following categories:
• Dereeling and feeding (loop control, dereeler, feed unit)
• Take-off and winding (take-off unit, cable ring coiler)
• Printing and marking (ink jet printer, thermal transfer printer, Brady Wraptor, hot stamp marker)
Loop control systems: In combination with a Metzner prefeeder of the PF series (see above illus-
tration), Metzner loop control systems provide contact-free speed regulation. In off-line operation,
integrated sensors control the speed of the material feeder to match the chosen processing speed
of the cutting machine and in in-line operation, they regulate the speed of the cutting machine to
match the extrusion line speed.

Irrespective of how your material is presented, on a roll or a
coil, as a ring, bundle or spirally wound, we provide an effecti-
ve means of receiving and unrolling it.
Directly after the unwind unit, which generally doesn’t have its own
drive, there is a material feeding device to draw the material from the
unwind unit. Depending on the necessary pulling force and the width of
the material, the following feeding devices are employed:

For product identification and to determine assembly posi-
tioning, profiles, tubes and other products often have to be
printed with text or marked. Due to these varying require-
ments, Metzner offer four different printing systems from lea-
ding manufacturers, which can be combined with all Metzner
machines.
Ink-Jet printers can produce freely programmable text, logos and mar-
kings on the running product without any lost time. Ink-Jet printing is
a comparatively economical process, but the print quality is not as high
as with laser or thermal transfer printing. Text input and configuration
is carried out via the PC-operator panel of the machine or the internal
touch-screen display.
Digitally programmable thermal transfer printers combine first-class
print quality and individual text printing. The printer transfers variable
texts, logos or graphics as well as barcodes in 300 dpi print quality.
With laser printers, freely programmable text, logos and markings can
be transferred onto the tube with no loss of time. The print quality is
excellent, but the price is higher than with ink-jet printers.
Coloured marking bands serve to define assembly location points,
which quickly show the assembly personnel where, for example, the
nylon tubes have to be connected to the bodywork.

After the rubber and plastics processing, precise take-off,
sorting or coiling of the products is a logical step in the quali-
ty assurance of the total process. For this reason, our take-off
and winding units have the task of carefully laying the finished
parts tidily in collecting trays.
We differentiate between take-off units with cross conveyors – also
known as lateral discharge units – and those without cross conveyors.
To increase length precision, Metzner take-off units can be fitted with
an end-sensing function, whereby the cut is made precisely at a point
that is monitored by a sensor. The take-off of the parts is performed,
depending on the material, either by a pusher, a brush device or fully
contact-free with compressed air. Metzner take-offs are available in
lengths of 1m to 5m.

For effective rubber and plastics processing, Metzner offers powerful software solu-
tions that have been proved in practice. All our software packages provide compre-
hensive functionality such as, for example, the supervision and processing of complex
parts lists for materials with different lengths and diameters as well as individual
printing and marking.
Software solutions in local mode control the working process of the machine and all its peripheral
equipment. All the process parameters are collected via an intuitive, logical and easy-to-operate
unit and saved in a database. Tried and tested assistance functions and help menus support the
entering of the data. Data collection takes place independently of the processing machine, which
can continue its work unaffected.
Many companies control their production via company-internal IT networks. In such cases, Metzner
offers full integration into the existing IT network. All production orders are transferred on-line or
in their own data structure to the machine control system for processing. In return the machines
send back information for production control. The operator thus receives a real-time overview of the
current machine condition, the production status and all the completed and remaining processes.

Since 1980, Metzner have been developing cutting machi-
nes and customer-specific solutions for profiles, tubes and
plain-section gaskets. Patented technologies and high quality
standards ensure that you achieve your production targets of
cost, productivity and quality. Our after-sales service gives you
the support to maintain first-class quality production over the
total life of the Metzner machinery.
We view your purchase of a Metzner product as the beginning of a
long-term partnership, whereby for us your productive capacity and the
security of your investment are the foremost considerations. This is true
whether we recommend a standard machine or a customer-specific
solution to suit your requirements.
Documented Pre-Delivery Functional and Application Testing
Before delivering your machine, a fully-documented functional test is
carried out in our factory, together with an application test using your
total life-long satisfactionf o r u s , y o u r b e n e f i t i s f o r e m o s t
material, so that the performance, parameters that are so important
for your production, can be determined and recorded by machine
capability testing.
You are always welcome to witness the demonstration of these results
personally, before your Metzner machine leaves our plant. This quality,
together with the features and characteristics proven for your produc-
tion, gives you the assurance of successful installation and commissio-
ning in your factory and a successful production start-up.
Installation – Commissioning – Training
After delivery, we are available to carry out specialist installation and
commissioning of your machine in your production as well as training
your operating and maintenance personnel. Usually, only a few hours
are required in order to give your employees the necessary knowledge
and confidence in the use of the new machine.
With our after sales service you benefit from our long-term
support to enable you to keep your Metzner machine ope-
rating profitably throughout its whole working life. Apart
from the basic characteristics and performance data of the
machine, there are a number of additional factors that play an
important part in achieving this. So we have put together a
team with a spectrum of service capabilities to give you active
support.
Advice and machine modification to meet new requirements
Not infrequently, the materials to be processed and the tasks to be per-
formed by a Metzner machine in your production change over time. It is
often possible for us optimally to modify the machine to meet such new
requirements by mechanical adjustments, a software update, or addition
of an accessory or further equipment. Our After Sales Service Team can
make recommendations to optimise your material processing and to
modify your existing machinery accordingly.
Training of new operator personnel
The productivity of a cutting machine in your production and the
resulting product quality are often strongly influenced by the operator
personnel and their knowledge of the functions and settings of the
machine. Often, when personnel changes occur, important knowledge
is lost with the result that processing tolerances and machine output
can suffer. A few hours or perhaps a day of new operator training is an
effective step towards maintaining high quality and performance in your
manufacturing.
Service contracts
The constant use of your production machinery inevitably causes wear
of certain parts or makes re-adjustments necessary to compensate for
the wear. With a service contract, we ensure that, at intervals agreed
with you, preventative maintenance is undertaken to avoid unscheduled
interruptions in production. You profit from this by avoiding short-notice
emergency service call-outs.

Spare parts service
For current Metzner machines, we hold stocks of the most frequently
required replacement and wear parts for immediate delivery in our store.
For customer-specific parts and more slow-moving, we start an immedia-
te order for manufacture the parts in initial equipment quality as soon as
your order is received.
Repair Service
To deal with machine breakdowns, Metzner has experienced personnel
ready to make sure that your production machinery is rapidly made
available again. According to your instructions, the repairs to your ma-
chine can be carried out either in our works or locally in your premises.
E-Service
Many Metzner machines have the facility to be fitted with an E-Service
module for remote machine interrogation. The machine either receives
an individual IP address or a connection to the mobile telephone net-
work. In this way, Metzner Service can provide rapid and cost-effective
fault diagnosis, spare parts advice or make repair recommendations.
