Family business Deom opts for cutting precision, speed and service

About Deom

Deom, based in Libin, specialises in crane and forestry equipment. The third-generation family business was founded almost 65 years ago by André Deom. The company offers its customers high-quality and cost-efficient cranes for goods handling and lifting systems. From the outset, the company’s mission has remained the same: to offer every customer a personalised solution and impeccable service.

Strong service

This mission also perfectly describes what Wouters Cutting & Welding stands for. It is no coincidence that Deom chose to purchase their new CNC cutting machine from them. The MicroStep MasterCut combines high cutting accuracy with speed and automation – and is supported by strong service.

Maxime Cibour, design office and production manager at Deom: ‘This new machine perfectly met all our needs. That’s why we tested it against our various criteria. The tests showed that the accuracy of the cuts was much better than that of our old machine. In addition, the XY positioning speed was up to 30% higher.’

After successful trials and a positive evaluation, Deom decided to purchase the MicroStep MasterCut 10501.30 PG. Like its predecessor, it is equipped with a plasma cutting head and an oxyfuel cutting head. The machine is 10.5 metres long and 3 metres wide.

Automation and reliability

Thanks to the MasterCut, a number of processes have also been automated, such as gas flow control, height adjustment of the plasma and oxyfuel cutting heads, speed adjustment and other parameters. The tests also showed that it is a very reliable machine.

Cibour: ‘Wouters attaches great importance to service. They helped us a lot during the tests and were always easy to reach.’
