Problem
To take control of the torch cut-off machine operation, reduce waste, and produce closer near net shaped slab lengths. Generally, control, accuracy, and repeatability has been so poor in this important operation that additional slab length is programmed into the operation to ensure that the slabs produced are at least to customer specifications. The waste is significant. We have a better idea.
Solution
We have air-cooled
resolver or
Linear Displacement Transducer (LDT) systems to take control of your torch cut-off operation. In all cases, our systems can re-confirm the width of the slab as it enters the torch cut-off area and provide accurate slab length control by monitoring cut-off machine position and movement. In addition, our systems control torch start, stop, and rate of cut. The results are closer
near net-shaped slabs and significant material savings.
