|---|---|---|
| Processing Type | double-sided, dry | double-sided, dry |
| Material thickness | 0.8 – 100 mm | 0.8 – 100 mm |
| Max. working width | 1,300 mm | 1,650 mm |
| Weight | approx. 5,600 kg | approx. 7,100 kg |
| Dimensions (L x W x H) | approx. 3,100 x 2,200 x 2,200 mm | approx. 3,500 x 2,200 x 2,200 mm |
Key Advantages:
- Versatile Processing – Switch between single- or double-sided operation based on part geometry and finishing needs.
- Time Savings – Eliminate manual deburring steps, reduce handling, and increase throughput.
- Smart Setup & Consistency – Store material- and job-specific settings for quick recalls and uniform quality.
- Heavy-Duty Performance – Engineered for the demands of plasma and oxy-fuel workflows, handling thick and tough materials with ease.
- Operator-Friendly Design – Intuitive controls, ergonomic operation, and minimal training required.
Why It Matters:
- Cuts labour costs by replacing slow manual grinding with automated, repeatable results.
- Improves safety and quality with consistent edge rounding that meets industry standards.
- Maximises uptime and output in high-volume, heavy-plate production.

Frequently Asked Questions:
1. How does the EdgeBreaker® 4000 handle tough burrs and edge rounding?
It efficiently removes heavy burrs and light slag using a flexible, oscillating grinding drum with a soft rubber backing—debur and rounds both sides in a single pass, even on thick plasma or flame-cut parts
2. Can the EdgeBreaker® 4000 adapt to changing part geometries?
Yes. Its grinding drum contours smoothly around edges and corners, ensuring consistent processing across uneven surfaces and varied part shapes.
3. How easy is it to change tools on the EdgeBreaker® 4000?
Very easy. All consumable components, like grinding belts and rounding blocks, utilise ARKU’s patented quick-change click system—tool-free and fast to minimise downtime.
4. How does the machine ensure consistent results over time?
The EdgeBreaker® 4000 features automatic wear compensation that constantly measures abrasive wear and adjusts the drum pressure accordingly, delivering uniform performance from first to last part.
5. What role does ARKU Wizard play in the operation?
The ARKU Wizard is smart control software that integrates material, tool, and machine data. By entering just four key inputs (material, burr size, thickness, desired edge rounding), it automatically selects the best tool and fine-tunes settings for optimal efficiency and minimal wear.
6. Who benefits most from the EdgeBreaker® 4000?
This machine is ideal for fabricators in plasma and flame cutting, shipbuilding, heavy plate processing, and other industries where reliable, automated deburring of thick-cut parts is critical.
