Oxy-Fuel Cutting to 200 mm – Large Plates Contract Manufacturing
Economical oxy-fuel cutting for structural steel, fine-grain steel and wear-resistant grades from 25 to 200 mm – with automatic bevel cutting, no minimum quantities, and direct handover into welding, shot blasting or coating. Contract manufacturing in Lorch, Germany.
20,000 × 3,500 mm Format
CNC oxy-fuel cutting on maximum format – large structural plates and heavy blanks in one pass.
Up to 200 mm Thickness
Economical for thick heavy plate where laser or plasma reach their limits.
Bevel Cut ±45°
Automatic weld seam preparation – saves secondary operations and setup time directly at cutting.
Structural · Fine-grain · Wear-resistant
Structural steel S235/S355, fine-grain steel to S1100 and wear-resistant grades – up to 200 mm wall thickness.
Direct Further Processing
Welding, CNC machining, shot blasting and coating without external interfaces in Lorch.
Contract Work Without Minimums
Individual parts, prototypes and series parts manufactured equally to drawing.
Oxy-Fuel Cutting – Process and Capacity
In oxy-fuel cutting, steel is oxidised and separated by a pure oxygen jet. The process is particularly economical for thick plates from approximately 25 mm up to 200 mm. Structural steel, fine-grain steel and wear-resistant grades can be cut to maximum thicknesses with high precision.
The CNC oxy-fuel cutting machine travels over a format of 20,000 × 3,500 mm. Large-format heavy plates and structural plates can be processed in a single pass. Automatic bevel cutting to ±45° enables weld seam preparation without secondary operations.
Flame-cut parts from structural steel, fine-grain steel and wear-resistant grades are manufactured to drawing. Individual parts and small batches are available without minimum order quantities.
Cut quality is assessed to EN ISO 9013. For load-bearing components and weld seams, reworking such as grinding or thermal straightening is carried out where required. Contract manufacturing follows the customer's drawing and acceptance conditions.
Flame-cut parts are regularly processed further directly in-house: welding, sandblasting and painting in Lorch are integrated follow-on steps. External interim storage and logistics between production steps are eliminated – saving time and costs.
Quality assurance is carried out in accordance with DIN EN ISO 9001:2015 with seamless material traceability. Material certificates for all steels and special steels used are provided on request or where a project requires them, and included with the delivery.

Materials for Oxy-Fuel Cutting
Oxy-fuel cutting is suitable for ferrous steels:
- Structural steel S235, S355 – from 25 mm to 200 mm
- Fine-grained structural steel up to S1100 – high-strength, load-bearing
- Hardox 400 / 500 – for high-stress parts up to 200 mm
- Pressure-vessel and creep-resistant steels P265GH, P355GH, 16Mo3
- Special steels to drawing and customer specification
For thin plates and stainless steel, CNC plasma cutting is the more economical process.
Typical Applications
Oxy-fuel cutting at Bock is used for:
- Large-format blanks for heavy welded structures
- Web plates, flanges and ribs for heavy-duty fabrications
- Heavy-plate blanks for wear parts and buckets
- Bevel cuts as weld seam preparation
- Structural parts for vehicle and plant engineering
Flame-cut parts can be welded, machined and painted in the same facility. Oxy-fuel cutting in Lorch is integrated into a complete manufacturing process: after cutting, flame-cut parts pass directly into welded assembly production, are then shot blasted and painted to customer specification. For wear-resistant and high-strength grades, all machining steps are possible in the same facility. Quality documentation to DIN EN ISO 9001:2015 is available for all order types. Contract manufacturing with no minimum quantities for individual parts and small series. Fast response times thanks to our own material store.
Long Oxy-Fuel Cut Parts in S355 – Cut from Heavy Plate
Long, narrow oxy-fuel cut parts in S355 run over the machine regularly — flats, flanges and web plates, cut from heavy plate instead of being cropped to length from section. The 20,000 × 3,500 mm bed is what makes it possible: a part like this is produced in a single piece, with no splice and no intermediate cut.
The cut faces carry the drag lines typical of oxy-fuel cutting; the quality is assessed to EN ISO 9013. Whether the part is then ground, straightened or bevelled straight away is decided by the drawing. Welding, blasting and painting follow in the same works.
Rings and Free Contours – Oxy-Fuel Cutting Steel to Drawing
Blanks with an inner cut-out, rings and freely programmed contours are the second standard case. The shape makes little difference to the machine — plate thickness governs feed rate, kerf and cost, and oxy-fuel handles up to 200 mm.
Both examples are recurring jobs, not a limit value. We review material, thickness, length and contour for each drawing — together with the question of what edge the part needs afterwards.
Impressions from Oxy-Fuel Cutting
Real shots from our shop floor in Lorch – from a circular blank being cut on the slat table and the machine-guided oxy-fuel torch throwing sparks, through to the finished parts on the pallet: circular blanks, bevelled flat bars, profiled parts and oval plate blanks.
