The Technology

Construction

The gantry construction is built from welded steel beams, which undergo stress relief to achieve high rigidity while keeping the overall mass relatively low. This design ensures stable machine geometry, even under heavy loads or thermal stress, minimizing the risk of misalignment.

As a result, the construction provides excellent process reliability, making it well-suited for demanding environments, including operations running on a three-shift schedule.

ECS872 Control Panel

The ECS872 control center is a high-quality industrial device equipped with a touchscreen interface. Its robust construction and high-performance components are built to withstand extreme production conditions, ensuring reliable, failure-free operation.

Featuring powerful proprietary software and an intuitive user interface, the ECS872 allows operators to fully utilize the machine’s capabilities with ease and efficiency.

Oxygen Torch

The oxygen torch is designed for cutting structural low-carbon and low-alloy steel and is capable of handling a wide range of material thicknesses. It is equipped with a height sensor, automatic ignition, and manual angle adjustment, offering flexibility and precision in various cutting applications.

Vortex 3D Head

The fully automated plasma cutting head enables highly precise bevelling and chamfering during a single sheet cutting process. With a rotation range of ±540° and a head angle deflection of ±52°, the machine becomes a versatile tool capable of 3D cutting and preparing welding bevels in Y, V, and K shapes.

The Vortex 3D cutting head is equipped with advanced sensors, including anti-collision, electrical/mechanical touch, and a height sensor. These features support the use of advanced technologies such as Contour Cut®, Contour Cut Speed®, Diameter Pro®, and True Hole®, ensuring exceptional cutting accuracy and performance.

Suction Table

Modular suction tables ensure efficient dust removal during the cutting process. The cutting machine features a self-supporting base frame with replaceable grids, offering maximum safety and high performance.

The table is equipped with an intelligent dust extraction system that effectively clears debris from the cutting area. Each segment includes a durable support structure with discharge channels, a diagonal grid, a scrap collection tank, and pneumatically controlled channels—working together to maintain a clean, safe, and efficient working environment.
