Oxy-Fuel Cutting for Excavator and Engineering Components
Kocurek provides CNC oxy-fuel cutting for thick steel plate, producing profiles for excavator equipment, machine modifications and heavy fabricated assemblies. Our UK facility combines large-format steel cutting with in-house machining and fabrication to support bespoke engineering projects.
Oxy Fuel Cutting
Steel Plate Profiling for Excavator Parts
Every component starts with a clear specification. Our team reviews your drawings, material grade, plate thickness and quantities to plan the cutting work around the finished part.
Before production, we consider critical dimensions, connection points and any surfaces that need further finishing. This helps us identify which features can be cut directly and where additional machining or fabrication is required.
Explore our steel cutting capabilities below, from the equipment and sheet planning through to the engineering components we produce.
Large-Format CNC Steel Cutting
Our Kerf RUM 3500GP© cutting machine has a 30m × 3m bed, accommodating two 14m × 3m sheets. This supports the production of large steel profiles and batches of smaller engineering components.
The system combines separate plasma and oxy-fuel heads on dual gantries, with a combined cutting range of 1–200mm depending on the process and material.
Contact our team to confirm the oxy-fuel cutting capacity suitable for your steel grade and plate thickness.
CNC Profile Cutting and Sheet Nesting
Burny CNC control guides the cutting process, while Lantek Expert nesting software arranges component profiles across the steel sheet.
Planning the layout helps improve material use and reduce unnecessary waste. It also supports production runs containing repeated parts or several different profiles. Share your drawings, dimensions and quantities so we can assess your steel profiling requirements.
Excavator Components and Heavy Fabrication
Our steel cutting capabilities support the manufacture of profiles for:
- Excavator booms and dippers.
- Specialist front-end equipment.
- Bespoke base-machine modifications.
- Machinery components.
- Heavy fabricated assemblies.
Whether you need an individual profile or a batch of components, our team can review the specification and discuss cutting, machining and fabrication as part of the same project.

Steel Cutting to Finished Components
Once a steel profile has been cut, it may need further machining before it is ready for excavator assembly. This can include finishing holes, connection points and other surfaces to ensure the parts fit together as specified.
With CNC cutting, precision machining, fabrication and welding available in-house, Kocurek can coordinate the work from the initial steel plate through to the finished component or assembly.
