Common Knife Blades Used For Esko Kongsberg Precision Cutting Systems

Common blades used for Kongsberg Precision Cutting Systems include a variety of drag knives, oscillating knives, and specialized blades designed for different materials and cutting methods. Here is a detailed overview of the common blade types and their typical applications:

Common Blade Types for Kongsberg Systems

· Drag Blades (Single Edge)

Typically used for kiss cutting and through cutting of materials like vinyl, polyester, masking films, and thin plastics.

Examples include blades with 0.63 mm or 1.5 mm thickness and round or flat shanks.

Suitable for materials such as sandblast vinyls, reflective vinyls, cardstock, and pattern materials.

Example: Esko Kongsberg knife BLD-KC104 with a fine blade tip for small overcut and less stability, ideal for light materials.

· Oscillating Knives

Used for cutting thicker or more rigid materials such as corrugated board, foamboard, folding carton, felt, leather, textiles, and canvas.

Available in various shank sizes (6 mm round, 8 mm round) and blade angles (30°, 40°, 66°, 80°, 86.5°, 87.5°) depending on the cutting precision and material.

Examples include blades like SR-6150, SR-6223, SR-6303, and SR-6310 from OYEA, which are compatible replacements for Kongsberg oscillating knives.

· Corrugated Knives

Designed specifically for corrugated board cutting with single or double-edge blades.

Provide clean, efficient cuts on thick cardboard and similar materials.

· Tungsten Carbide Blades
Offer superior wear resistance and sharpness retention, essential for high-volume cutting.
Available as round shank blades for oscillating and drag knives.
These premium blades reduce downtime and improve cut quality but come at a higher cost.

· V-Notch and Specialty Blades

For specific applications such as cutting foam, rubber, or materials requiring detailed cuts.

Example: DF-570 V-Notch knife blade for strong durable cutting solutions.
