Dual Torch Plasma Cutting Gantry, 6 M

Cybernetic Instruments offers a Dual Head Gantry having 6-metre cutting length used for plate edge cropping and cut to length application in rolling mills. Two plasma torches having laser edge detection sensors begin cutting large iron plates up to 5-metre wide. The first torch that detects plate edge fires up and start cutting the plate at preset feed speed. The second torch, after laser detection of edge also starts cutting the plate from other side. This greatly increases the cutting speed and resultant output. The programming of the gantry is simple. The cutting is done without need to enter plate width data, since the laser edge detectors automatically detect the plate edges. The user needs to enter only feed rate depending on the plate thickness and material properties. The gantry is built using precision guide rails and driven by two servomotors. Each motor drives one plasma torch. The design of gantry allows both torches to travel complete range of 6 metres. This ensures that the user can cut the plate even when one torch is being operated.
