Description
Automatic Structured Packing Cutting Machine
Standard & Automatic Models | Intelligent Calculation Software | Automatic Positioning | Customizable Cutting Length
Product Overview
KABORY’s Automatic Structured Packing Cutting Machine is a specialized industrial cutting solution designed for the production of corrugated metal sheets used in metal structured packing manufacturing.
The machine cuts corrugated metal sheets into specific lengths and quantities according to the required structured packing module configuration, preparing them for subsequent module assembly and welding.
To meet different production capacities, automation requirements, and investment budgets, KABORY offers two machine configurations:
Standard Model – Automatic Positioning, Manual Feeding & Foot Pedal Cutting
Automatic Model – Automatic Positioning, Servo-Driven Feeding & Automatic Cutting
Both models are equipped with the same proprietary intelligent calculation and control software developed specifically for structured packing manufacturing.
Operators simply enter three key parameters:
- Tower Diameter
- Corrugation Peak Height
- Block Number
The software automatically calculates the required cutting length, quantity, and arrangement sequence of each corrugated metal sheet according to the selected module configuration.
It supports four structured packing module splitting configurations, customized cutting parameters, project management, and Excel data import and export.
The primary difference between the two models is the feeding method and cutting operation, rather than the intelligent software capabilities.
The existing machine has a maximum cutting length of 2300 mm, while other cutting lengths can be customized according to customer requirements.
Two Machine Models Available
Standard Model – Manual Feeding Structured Packing Cutting Machine
Automatic Positioning + Manual Feeding + Foot Pedal-Operated Cutting

Automatic Model – Automatic Feeding Structured Packing Cutting Machine
Automatic Positioning + Automatic Feeding + Automatic Cutting
The Automatic Model features a servo-driven automatic feeding system combined with photoelectric detection technology.
It uses exactly the same intelligent calculation software as the Standard Model.
After the operator enters the production parameters, the software automatically generates the cutting program. The machine then performs positioning, feeding, and cutting according to the programmed sequence.
During a production task, the servo feeding system automatically adjusts the feeding length for different corrugated sheets and performs continuous cutting without requiring the operator to manually feed each sheet or activate each cutting cycle.
Key Features:
- Intelligent calculation of cutting lengths, quantities, and sheet sequences.
- Four structured packing module splitting configurations.

Intelligent Calculation Software for Structured Packing Manufacturing
One of the core advantages of KABORY’s structured packing cutting machine is its proprietary intelligent calculation and control software.
Both the Standard Model and Automatic Model are equipped with the same software system and support all the following functions.
Automatic Cutting Length Calculation
Operators enter three basic parameters:
- Tower Diameter
- Corrugation Peak Height
- Block Number
Based on these parameters and the selected module splitting configuration, the software automatically calculates the required cutting length of each corrugated metal sheet.
In metal structured packing manufacturing, individual sheets within the same module often require different lengths to match the geometry of the tower cross-section.
Conventional production methods may require operators to calculate and organize these dimensions manually.
KABORY’s intelligent software automates this calculation process, reducing manual engineering work and improving the accuracy and consistency of production data.
Automatic Cutting Quantity Calculation
The software automatically determines the required quantity of corrugated sheets for each calculated cutting length.
This eliminates the need to manually count and organize different sheet dimensions, reducing the possibility of calculation and production errors.
Automatic Sheet Arrangement Sequence
The software automatically generates the arrangement sequence of corrugated sheets according to the selected module configuration and assembly requirements.
This helps operators organize cutting operations and subsequent module assembly in the correct sequence.
Automatic Cutting Data Generation
The system generates a complete set of cutting data, including:
- Individual sheet cutting lengths.
- Required quantities for each cutting length.
- Corrugated sheet arrangement sequence.
For the Standard Model, the machine uses this data for automatic positioning, while the operator performs manual feeding and foot pedal-operated cutting.
For the Automatic Model, the same cutting data is used to control automatic positioning, servo-driven feeding, and program-controlled cutting.
Four Structured Packing Module Splitting Configurations
KABORY’s intelligent calculation software supports four structured packing module splitting configurations to accommodate different tower diameters and module designs.
Centered Split – Symmetrical Semicircular Modules
The circular tower cross-section is divided into two symmetrical semicircular modules.
This configuration is commonly used for structured packing towers with diameters below 3 meters.
The software automatically calculates the cutting lengths, quantities, and sheet arrangement sequence required for each module.
RemMidBlock – Central Rectangular Module Configuration
This configuration consists of a central rectangular module combined with curved side modules.
It is commonly used for structured packing towers with diameters above 4 meters.
The software automatically generates the corresponding cutting data according to the central and side module geometry.
OffsetSplit – Offset Module Configuration
This configuration uses an offset module arrangement.
It is commonly applied to structured packing towers with diameters below 3 meters.
The software calculates the required cutting lengths, quantities, and sheet sequences according to the offset module geometry and selected production parameters.
MidOffsetSplit – Central Offset Module Configuration
This configuration combines central and curved side modules in an offset arrangement.
It is commonly used for structured packing towers with diameters above 4 meters.
The software automatically calculates the cutting data required for the selected module structure.
Flexible Tower Diameter Calculation
The diameter ranges described above represent typical applications rather than fixed software limitations.
The intelligent calculation software also supports structured packing module calculations for tower diameters between 3 and 4 meters.
Manufacturers can select suitable module splitting configurations according to their actual tower dimensions and production requirements.
Customized Cutting Parameters
In addition to automatic calculation, both machine models support manual entry of customized cutting data.
Operators can define:
- Cutting Length
- Cutting Quantity
- Cutting Sequence
This function provides additional flexibility for non-standard structured packing modules, special production projects, and customized manufacturing requirements.
The machine can operate using automatically calculated cutting data or customized cutting parameters entered by the operator.
Automatic Positioning and Cutting Control
Standard Model – Automatic Positioning with Manual Feeding
The Standard Model automatically positions according to the cutting parameters generated by the intelligent software.
The operator manually feeds the corrugated metal sheet and activates the cutting operation using a foot pedal.
This arrangement combines intelligent calculation and automatic positioning with a straightforward manual feeding process.
Automatic Model – Servo-Driven Feeding and Automatic Cutting
The Automatic Model features a servo-driven feeding system and photoelectric detection.
Based on the cutting program generated by the software, the machine automatically adjusts the feeding length and executes the cutting operation.
Different sheet lengths can be processed consecutively within the same production task without requiring manual adjustment of the feeding length or individual activation of each cutting cycle.
This significantly reduces repetitive operations and improves production continuity and cutting consistency.
Production Data and Project Management
Both machine models feature the same production data management functions.
Software Functions:
- Project creation and saving.
- Historical project retrieval.
- Cutting data editing and storage.
- Excel data import and export.
- Cutting task management.
For repeat production orders, operators can retrieve previously saved cutting programs instead of recalculating the cutting dimensions and quantities.
This improves production preparation efficiency and reduces repeated setup work.
