Oxy-fuel cutting
With XFLARE, you can achieve high-quality and economical cuts –
ideal for thicker sheets from 20 mm.
XFLARE supports you in every cutting task and can be easily upgraded for oxyfuel cutting. The low cutting costs per meter ensure maximum return on investment.
XFLARE
Benefits of oxy-fuel cutting
All-in-1
The oxy-fuel cutting system comes preconfigured with an oxy-fuel torch, internal ignition, capacitive distance control, and automatic gas control unit.
Quick start system
The XFLARE is ready for operation immediately via Plug & Play: simply connect oxygen and fuel gas and start after a short learning phase.
Plates from 20 mm
Particularly cost-efficient when processing thicker materials from 20 mm.
Fast process change
Accelerated workflow through quick setup time of under 10 seconds and automatic process detection.
Automatic gas control
High cutting quality through automatic regulation of gas pressures. Preconfigured tables facilitate the selection of optimal process parameters – for safe and efficient operation.
Probing & finding
With the integrated sensors, any components on the table can be easily located.
Bevel cutting
Components can be precisely beveled using the 6-axis head.
ISO quality
Precise cuts with minimal post-processing and long service life – all torches and nozzles comply with ISO 5172.
Fast & efficient
High-performance nozzles and rapid cutting oxygen curtain nozzles increase cutting speed and improve performance.
Unmanned production
The integrated sensors, process monitoring, and control enable largely autonomous operation, saving personnel costs and relieving your employees.
Intuitive operation
The user-friendly software requires only minimal process knowledge and allows for easy program creation.
High reproducibility
Precise cuts, minimal tolerances, and straight edges ensure consistently high quality.
Oxy-fuel cutting with XFLARE
In oxy-fuel cutting, a flame of oxygen and fuel gas is used to cut metals through oxidation. This process enables cost-effective cutting of thick plate thicknesses. Thanks to automatic gas pressure regulation, the pressure is kept constant and controlled within optimal parameters to ensure the highest cutting quality.
1. Ignition & preheating
The flame is automatically ignited in the torch by the integrated ignition system. Initially, local preheating of the workpiece to ignition temperature takes place.
2. Cutting process
The oxygen jet oxidizes the material, thereby producing the actual cutting action. The process is exothermic, meaning that heat is generated, and the process remains active as long as the process gases are flowing.
3. Control & Guidance
The XFLARE moves the torch along the workpiece contour at the optimal feed rate. At the same time, the process parameters and the distance are controlled to achieve the best cutting results.

Technology & Equipment
Automated oxy-fuel cutting with XFLARE optimizes the cutting process through precise control of the flame and gas flow. It ensures consistently high cut quality, especially when cutting thick materials. Automation minimizes operator errors, increases efficiency, and reduces processing times, which collectively leads to higher productivity.
Automatic Gas Pressure Control
The automatic gas console regulates the pressure of the process gases and maintains it within the optimal range, thereby achieving a very high cutting quality.
Preselectable Cutting Parameters
Adjustable parameters for all gases and sheet thicknesses during ignition, preheating, piercing, and cutting enable efficient, high-quality processing right from the start.
Pre-calibrated Tools (TCP)
The tools have already been measured and calibrated, so they are ready for immediate use.
Integrated Ignition
This feature ensures reliable initiation of the cutting process by automatically igniting the flame, thereby enabling a smooth start to the cutting operation.
Flashback Detection
Enhances safety and extends the burner’s service life by detecting and preventing potentially dangerous flashbacks.
Tool-Free Nozzle Replacement
We enable quick, tool-free nozzle changes with one-handed operation thanks to a bayonet lock. This saves you time and minimizes downtime.
High-Performance Nozzles for Long Service Life
PSF High Speed Cutting nozzles deliver both high cutting speeds and long service life.
Slag Detection
The capacitive distance control system detects slag to prevent malfunctions and collisions. The distance between the nozzle and the workpiece remains constant, ensuring consistent cuts and extending the nozzle’s service life.
Plain-text error messages
Plain-text error messages are displayed via the graphical user interface to enable precise monitoring and diagnostics during the cutting process.
Sectional Exhaust System
The sectional exhaust system automatically adjusts the airflow to the position of the oxy-fuel torch and extracts a large portion of the smoke generated downward.
Pull-out drawers
Pull-out drawers make it easy to empty out slag and scrap material and quickly retrieve good parts that have fallen inside, especially during prototype production.
