Product details
Construction

• Stand-alone cutter table in rigid steel construction for high load capacity
• Separate table eliminates thermal and mechanical influences on the gantry and guides
• Table prepared for dust collection with electro-pneumatic suction flaps for local fume extraction

Transmission and drives

• Dynamic AC servo drives (Panasonic) on all axes with maintenance-free, zero-backlash planetary gears
• Low-wear helical rack-and-pinion drives designed for continuous operation
• Linear guideways on all axes sized for long life and smooth motion; guide widths on X/Y axes: 20/30 mm
• Machine structure and component selection engineered to support multi-shift operation

Cutting head

• Z axis with ball screw transmission and servo-driven automatic torch height control
• Quick-coupling for fast cutter head exchanges
• Use of stored cutting parameter databases in the controller to achieve optimum cuts
• Optimised axis speeds for fine contours and tight radii
• Available options: 5-axis cutter head, tube cutter and additional accessories

Control

• Eckelmann CNC controller (E°EXC / IBE family)
• Eckelmann IBE software delivered as standard (nesting and cutting functions)
