We currently have three standard tube slotting machine models:
Standard Models
When thinking about a new machine, our goal is efficiency. For example, since we want to minimize down time due to tool changes, we need to think about:
SLOT-200 – Cuts one slot at a time. The SLOT-200 is manually operated, pneumatically powered, and inexpensive.
SLOT-400 – Cuts up to four slots. Hydraulics power the SLOT-400 and it runs auto production programs with a PLC.
SLOT-600 – Like the 400 series, but it can cut up to six slots. Cutting all the slots in one operation means higher quality and faster production.
For a custom job, or to fit a standard slotter with new tooling, start a conversation with us at our contact page.
More About Tube Slotting Machine Types
While hydraulically powered slotting machines require 240 or 480 AC to run, the pneumatic single slotter only needs shop air. So if you’re on a budget and have compressed air, the SLOT-200 is a good option, although the thickness of tube it can cut is limited. See videos of slotting machines working on our youtube channel, or check out our tube slotter info brochure.

These machines can be fitted with tooling for whatever notch shapes our customers require.
