New machinery investments
ARKU stormed into Blechexpo with new deburring and edge rounding machinery, upgraded machine-tool functionality and AI-assisted control options.
The company’ s EdgeBreaker ® 6000 deburring machine for laser-cut and punched parts, on display at its booth at Blechexpo, also handles edge rounding and surface finishing with the flexibility needed by laser job shops. The new EdgeBreaker ® 3000 NEXT was also demonstrated removing laser burrs from the top and bottom sides of a part( double-sided deburring) in a single pass and featuring the AI-assisted ARKU Wizard control.
“ We have made a lot of machinery improvements and innovations such as our new control system or two-sided deburring and heavy parts( 2mm radius) processing. We have also added automation functions so that lasercut and punched parts on deburring machines or levellers can now also be loaded and unloaded. Last but not least, we have added more power to our FlatMaster ® precision levelling machines,” Andreas Hellriegel, ARKU’ s sales director, told ISMR.
“ Just recently, we introduced the new EdgeBreaker ® 3000 FIBER, specifically developed for the deburring and edge rounding of fibre laser-cut parts. It combines a powerful grinding belt for double-sided deburring to remove even the hardest burrs. The machine also includes specialised rounding blocks which smoothly round all the edges,” he continued.
Innovation is the company’ s watchword. It offers standard as well as customised solutions.“ Every development aims to improve our customers’ processes, increase their efficiency and give them a competitive edge so that they succeed ahead of the competition,” outlined Andreas Hellriegel.
EdgeBreaker ® 6000
ARKU presented its EdgeBreaker ® 6000 deburring machine for laser-cut and punched parts at Blechexpo 2025. In addition to deburring, it also handles edge rounding and surface finishing in a single pass.
“ The EdgeBreaker ® 6000 can round sheet metal edges more uniformly than any other process. A particularly helpful feature for operators is the intelligent Wizard control option: based on just a few parameters, it selects the right processing tools and optimal feed rate automatically,” ARKU explained.
ARKU’ s portfolio also includes deburring machines for fibre-cut and flame-cut parts.

EdgeBreaker ® 3000 NEXT
On the stand of ARKU’ s partner Teqram at Blechexpo, trade show visitors could watch autonomous deburring of lasercut parts with the new EdgeBreaker ® 3000 NEXT.
“ The system removes laser burrs from both the top and bottom sides in a single pass, cutting processing time and costs by up to 50 %. This new deburring machine is also equipped with the ARKU Wizard operating software, like almost all our levelling and deburring machines. At the push of a button, it determines the optimal settings for each individual part— regardless of the operator ´ s experience. In times of skilled labour shortages, this is a crucial advantage,” said ARKU. At Blechexpo, the Wizard was demonstrated live by ARKU on the EdgeBreaker ® 6000 and the FlatMaster ® 55 levelling machine.
