Kerf Developments Ltd (www.kerfdevelopments.com) will be making its Southern Manufacturing debut on stand J85, demonstrating why it is a leading manufacturer and supplier of plasma, oxy-fuel and water-jet cutting machines.

Explaining why the company will be taking its technology to a manufacturing event in the South, sales director Craig Walsh says: “As a company, Kerf has grown significantly in recent years, and we see the Southern show as a great opportunity to meet with potential customers, particularly as many manufacturers in the sheet-metal and profiling industries appear to be moving away from CO₂ laser systems due, in part, to their high operational cost; and while there is considerable uptake of fibre-laser technology, the associated costs can be prohibitive for many businesses.

“At Kerf, our latest UltraSharp Plasma system is powerful, precise and fast — and it can compete with fibre-laser systems in many instances. For manufacturers processing plate from 10mm thick and above, our UltraSharp technology can offer a highly cost-effective alternative.”
