An innovative new plasma-cutting machine for flue pipes by Techserv Cutting Systems, a specialist manufacturer of CNC profile cutting systems, uses advanced interpolated motion in the cutting system to dramatically increase production throughput. Helping to deliver the interpolated motion is a real-time machine control module from Baldor.
The machine cuts aluminum and stainless steel flue pipes at any angle, and holes of any shape or size, automating this aspect of manufacturing. Before the new design, elbow pipes, for example, were first cut into complex shapes from flat metal sheet, and then rolled and welded before assembly. This multi-stage fabrication process involved considerable movement of work pieces around the factory and was time-consuming.
An advanced 5-axis motion control system from Baldor is key to the performance of Techserv
