All you need to know

The Compact Cutting Station combines cutting performance with a compact footprint. Discover how it fits into your workflow and supports efficient, reliable production—every day.

Adapt to profile deviations

No two profiles are exactly the same. By measuring the material before cutting, the system automatically compensates for deviations — ensuring precise cuts, perfect fit-up, and less time spent on rework.

Straight cuts with plasma or oxy-fuel

Choose the cutting process that fits your needs. From fast plasma cutting for speed and productivity, to oxy-fuel cutting (OFC) for higher precision on thicker materials and complex profiles.

High-precision beveling

From straight cuts to advanced bevels, CCS handles a wide range of edge preparations. Consistent cut quality ensures a perfect fit for downstream welding — especially for h-beams and profiles.

Seamless shopfloor integration

The system is designed to work as a standalone or embedded station, with flexible layout options and easy access for loading and unloading. Ideal for lean production environments.

Smart work preparation software

RinasWPP is the software behind each Compact Cutting Station. It lets you define parts through CAD import or parametric macros and automatically nests them to minimize waste and optimize stock usage. With visual feedback, smart reuse of remnant parts, and possible ERP integration, RinasWPP streamlines your entire preparation process — from design to cut.

Profile cutting without compromises

The Compact Cutting Station delivers controlled profile cutting with a stable, predictable material flow. Its modular design allows additional functions such as Highrise systems, marking, grinding or tracking to be integrated when required, without disrupting the cutting process, accuracy or uptime.

"At our Shipyard, reliability, repeatability, and the ability to adapt are critical, especially when it comes to automated welding and cutting systems. Kranendonk has proven to be a strong partner in supporting our automation goals. Their robotic welding and cutting solutions are well-engineered and clearly designed with real-world production environments in mind.

What stands out most to me, beyond their excellent hardware and software, is their top-of-the-line customer support. Their technical team’s willingness to work through challenges alongside our own has been greatly appreciated. The ability to pinpoint, diagnose, and resolve issues remotely and quickly is essential to keeping production moving forward.

Kranendonk continues to be a trusted automation partner for us, and we value their commitment to improving productivity, weld and cutting quality, and overall process efficiency."
