Fume Exhaust System

The exhaust system filters the particulate matter generated by the thermal cutting operations. The air is filtered according to the latest health and safety requirements

Plates Handling

The infeed and outfeed conveyors can be extended in order to accommodate longer stock plates. The conveyors are pre-arranged to receive cross transfer tables for loading and unloading of plates.

Trap Door

A special trap door can be supplied to unload finished parts with a max. size of 500x500mm.

Advantages

  • High speed drilling performance is achieved with a ball screw spindle feed to fully utilize carbide tools
  • Powerful nesting software for material and processing optimization
  • Unloading of the finished parts while the system is processing
  • A rack and pinion measuring system for all operations guarantees the accuracy between operations
  • Reduced footprint and easy material handling
  • Remote diagnostics are possible through a network connection that allows our service team to perform a system analysis
