CD-1600 vs CD-3200: Differences Between Our Aluminium Plate Cutting Machines

2026-05-23

When choosing an aluminium plate cutting machine, understanding the key differences between models ensures you select the right aluminium plate cutter for your production scale and requirements. Below we break down the core distinctions between the CD-1600 and CD-3200 aluminum plate cutter models.

1. Automation & Operation Mode

CD-1600: A semi-automatic aluminium plate cutting machine, it relies on servo-driven grinding gear for saw blade movement but requires manual material loading/unloading. It is ideal for small-batch or low-volume production environments.
CD-3200: A fully CNC precision aluminium plate cutter, it features automatic feeding, automatic sawing, and variable frequency speed adjustment. It supports continuous, hands-free operation for high-volume, repetitive tasks.

2. Cutting Capacity & Range

Parameter	CD-1600	CD-3200
Cutting Width	Up to 1600mm (customizable)	Up to 3200mm (customizable)
Cutting Height	Up to 150mm	Up to 160mm
Cutting Length	Fixed (limited by machine design)	10~3000mm (customizable)

The CD-3200 aluminum plate cutter offers double the width capacity and flexible length settings, making it suitable for large-format aluminium plates, while the CD-1600 is optimized for smaller to medium-sized sheets.

3. Power & Performance

CD-1600: Motor power ranges from 7.5kW to 15kW, suited for lighter-duty cutting tasks with standard plate thicknesses.
CD-3200: Higher motor power of 15kW to 21kW, paired with a servo-driven saw seat feed speed of 1 meter per minute (for 100mm thick plates). This delivers faster, more consistent cutting for thick or large-scale materials.

4. Workpiece Protection & Control

CD-1600: Standard clamping design without additional protective features for the workpiece surface.
CD-3200: Features pneumatic clamping claws with protective film, preventing scratches on delicate aluminium surfaces during the cutting process. It also includes advanced automatic height control for precise blade positioning.

5. Scale & Durability

CD-1600: Compact footprint (1105×2800×1750mm) and lighter weight (2650kg), ideal for small workshops or limited-space facilities.
CD-3200: Larger industrial build (5800×5580×1800mm) and heavier weight (5800kg), engineered for long-term, heavy-duty use in high-throughput production lines.

Both aluminium plate cutting machine models share core benefits like ±0.2mm cutting precision, micro-lubrication systems, and smooth, burr-free results. The CD-1600 aluminium plate cutter is perfect for small to medium operations needing reliable semi-automatic performance, while the CD-3200 aluminum plate cutter is built for large-scale, high-volume production with full CNC automation and expanded capacity.
