Industrial blades are tools that are used in a variety of industries, such as automotive, aerospace, and construction. Bauccor can and will help you through the process of the design from research and conceptual design to design and choosing of the material and finish you would need for your specific application. Please don’t hesitate to contact us at any phase of the design process.

A. Blade type:
Determine the specific type of blade required based on the cutting application, such as straight, circular, curved, or custom shape blades.

B. Blade dimensions:
Define the required dimensions of the blade including length, width, and thickness to ensure a proper fit and compatibility with your cutting machine or process.

C. Blade edge configuration:
Specify the edge geometry such as straight, serrated, scalloped, saw, toothed, or smooth, based on the desired cutting performance and the material being cut.

D. Blade mounting:
Define the mounting features of the blade such as clamping, bolting, or specific mounting mechanism, based on your cutting machine or process.

E. Blade material:
Select the appropriate material for the blade based on the cut material, hardness, wear resistance, environment. We offer several materials such as

F. Bevel hardness:
Determine the desired hardness level of the blade to ensure it can withstand the cutting forces and maintain its sharpness over time.

G. Blade coating & surface treatment:
Consider applying coatings or surface treatments to enhance the blade’s performance, reduce friction, increase hardness, and improve corrosion resistance.

H. Blade stability and rigidity:
Ensure that the blade’s design provides adequate stability and rigidity to minimize vibration, deflection, and distortion during your cutting process.

Blade type: 

At Baucor we offer four types of blades:

Blade edge configuration:
The most important part of the blade is the cutting edge. For this, we offer various configurations including simple and complex shapes.

Blade mounting:

After choosing the shape of the blade, you can define how it is mounted to your machine. 

Our straight blades can be mounted on machines with the help of mating faces.

Depending on the cutting force, the blade may require more holes to transmit the force from the cylinder. Holes can be through, countersunk, or counterbores. 

Our circular blades have a center hole to align the blade to the rotating axis and a keyway or a hole to transmit the rotating torque to the disk. Depending on the cutting force, the blade may require more holes to transmit the force from the motor. Holes can be through, countersunk, or counterbores.

 Next, the blade is held in place by a clamping system, such as a nut.

3. Validate the design:

Before proceeding with production, it is crucial to validate the design through numerical analysis methods such as finite element analysis (FEA) or prototyping. You can use rapid prototyping methods such as 3D printing to get a hands-on evaluation of the design’s functionality, ergonomics, and fit within the machine where it will be used. If necessary, iterate the design base on the feedback from the analysis or prototype.

Designing an industrial blade is an intricate process that demands a deep understanding of the blade’s requirements, utilization of advanced design tools, and attention to detail. By following the steps listed above, designers can create a design of an industrial blade that optimizes functionality and performance.
