HVAI Technology is NOT:
Wasted Material found in screw machines and abrasive saws.
Cracked or Deformed Ends that are the result of worn out shears.
Dull or broken saw blades, and the expense and downtime to replace them.
Kerf and all of the time and resources needed to dispose of it.
Multiple "second operations" needed to clean up the damaged ends.
The Environmental Nightmare you've been told is just a part of cutting metals.
A Constant Stream of Coolants that have to be stocked , recycled, separated, cleaned up and disposed of.

A level of quality that includes:
Burr-free ends,
Perpendicular end cuts
No crack formations
And minimal work hardening (approximately .0015" [ .038 mm])
Production Rates to
Meet Your Needs
The PPM rates for LMC's HVAI presses are "actual" rates in that the end cut qualities and length tolerances are held to stated specification even at our highest recommended production rates. There is no degradation of quality needed to achieve rate and no reduction of rate needed to achieve quality. For example, depending on length, the SIP15D is rated up to 1000 PPM , while holding tolerances to within .0015" (0.038mm).
With die change times of 15 minutes or less and complete tooling changes of 30 minutes or less, it is easy to understand why LMC's HVAI Presses have become our customers' competitive advantages.
Tight Length, TIR and
Volume/Mass Tolerances?
Whether it's for drill blanks that require near exact straightness, or cold forming blanks that require exact length (± .0015" 0.038mm]) or volume/mass tolerances (less than or equal 0.2%), LMC's HVAI presses are recognized as having no peer in cut end quality, production rate, and length, straightness and mass volume tolerances.
Pinching something until it breaks is not cutting .... it's a poor attempt at controlled destruction!
Before this cracked material became scrap, it was inventory and the customer paid a premium price for it. Now he's paying to have it removed.
You will never see this with an LMC HVAI Press System.
Bad Math - 11 inches of material equals 10 one inch blanks
With every cut from every saw or screw machine, material is lost to scrap. Worse, yet, it takes your valuable manufacturing time to turn this expensive inventory into scrap.
Premium costs at the beginning of the day: Scrap prices at the end of the day.
No more need to stock expensive blades, and no more time lost to replacing dull or broken blades. In fact, LMC's HVAI Press Systems may well be your scrap man's worse nightmare .
What can you expect for end cuts when you use saws and shears? Burrs, rough cuts, oval ends and the expense and time needed to clean them up for production.
LMC's HVAI Press Systems provide clean cuts with controlled perpendicularity, and no crack formations; as a result, second operations are minimized if not eliminated.
Kerf? Not with LMC's HVAI Press Systems.
Sure, it's hard to believe you can get quality end cuts with out producing any kerf. But no LMC customer has ever had to haul a load of kerf away from one of our machines. They never have and never will. Why? Because our adiabatic process does not destroy material in order to cut it.
Extreme Tool Life
It's not uncommon for our customers to get millions of cuts from a single set of dies before the set is worn out, or to get up to a million cuts between sharpenings. This extreme die life is due, in large part, to the adiabatic process where the actual amount of die-to-material interface is minimal when compared to standard cutting systems.
It should be noted,...
