Aluminium Bronze Side Cutter for ATEX Areas and Injection Mould Maintenance
Professional diagonal cutting pliers made of aluminium bronze (Al-Cu), designed as non-sparking tools for use in explosive atmospheres and during injection mould maintenance and servicing operations.
The 200 mm (8”) side cutter is intended for precise cutting of wires, cables and plastic components in industrial environments.
Safe removal of plastic parts from mould cavities
When a plastic part becomes stuck in the mould cavity or requires delicate removal, Al-Cu pliers allow safe trimming of plastic material without excessive risk of damaging the mould surface.
Aluminium bronze is softer than hardened tool steel used in injection moulds, which reduces the probability of scratching the cavity compared to standard steel tools.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Are Al-Cu pliers suitable for use in explosive atmospheres?
Yes. Pliers made of aluminium bronze (Al-Cu) belong to the category of non-sparking tools and may be used in environments where reducing the risk of spark generation is required.
Can they be used to remove parts from a mould cavity?
Yes. The Al-Cu diagonal cutter is suitable for removing parts stuck in the mould cavity as well as for precise trimming of plastic material in the immediate vicinity of forming surfaces.
Can aluminium bronze scratch the mould cavity?
Aluminium bronze is a material softer than the tool steel used in injection moulds; therefore, the risk of scratching is lower than when using standard steel tools.
What else can the 200 mm side cutter be used for?
The pliers are suitable for cutting copper and aluminium wires, installation wires and auxiliary plastic components in industrial applications.
