Cutterheads

With high-quality materials, exquisite manufacturing technology, advanced CNC equipment, and thorough online and offline inspection, SuperSource offers cutterheads that are highly precise, reliable, cost-effective, and easy to operate. Used together with our interchangeable and grindable corrugated knives that far exceed the most stringent EU OEM standards, our cutterhead products can be operated at speeds up to 8,000 rpm and are competent for most wood profiling and surface processing applications.
Our cutterhead products are divided into straight bore cutter heads and hydraulic locking cutter heads in terms of the bore type, and are compatible with both corrugated knives and planer knives. In addition to the regular products presented in the catalogue, custom features and design (i.e., with customer choice of bore size, cutting angles, knife pockets, pocket depth, etc.) can be fulfilled upon request.

Straight Bore Cutterheads – The most commonly used type of cutterheads in the market, assembled with moulders in a clearance fit. This series of cutterheads are simple in structure, and therefore impose low system requirements on moulders.

 

Hydraulic Locking Cutterheads – Normally reserved for high-speed machines with the tightest of machine tolerances to achieve the full benefit of the tooling. Hydraulic locking cutterhead uses a pressurized sleeve to create a much tighter fit on both the grinder and the moulder than straight bore cutterhead. Our hydraulic locking cutterheads are made from high-quality high strength steel alloy or aluminum alloy, CNC machined to exact tolerances and dynamic balanced to ISO G2.5 at speed up to 8000 rpm. These features provide refined surface finishes and the durability to withstand continuous use on high-speed moulders. We offer two types of hydraulic locking cutterheads: 1) Hydro-lock cutterhead, which is pressurized with a grease pump; and 2) Easy-lock cutterhead, which is pressurized with built-in screws.

SuperHelic™ Cutterheads – The SuperHelic™ series, which includes the SuperHelic™ cutterheads and the compatible SuperHelic™ corrugated knives, is our patented product. The SuperHelic™ system enables a unique continuous compound shear cutting action that slices the wood with low tool pressure and vibration. This helical cutting action is the ultimate way to surface wood. It can eliminate fuzzy and chipped-out grain defects, even for cross-grain or knotted wood, therefore requiring less or no further sanding processing. Our SuperHelic™ cutterheads are available in both straight bore and hydraulic locking bore types. The outer diameter of the cutterheads can be selected from 125 mm or 160 mm.
