THERMAL CUTTING MACHINES
“Katran”
“Radian-1500” / ”Radian-2000”
"Katran"
Thermal cutting machine Katran executes microplasma cutting of metal with the dimensions of the sheet up to 1500 mm x 3000 mm and thickness from 0,56 mm.
Metal cutting is done with microplasma cutter.
High dynamism and high contour speed* of the machine make it possible to have precise and qualitative sawing of thin metal sheets.
Precise and high quality cutting of a thin sheet is possible due to high cutting speed and acceleration.
Standard delivery includes machine equipped with microplasma currentsource PowerMax65 manufactured by Hypertherm Inc (USA) with maximum cutting thickness of 25 mm.
Completely automatic system of the initial height of the torch placing works reliably regardless of the material kind or presence of dielectric on the surface (cladding, paint, rust, etc.).
Foundation is not required.
Extracting table with high intake duct system is integrated into the base frame.
Contour speed of sawing up to 10 m/min allows to achieve high performance, low powerconsumption (per 1linear meter of cutting), small heat affected zone (less than 0,5 mm).
High motion speed-up (up to 1,5m/sec2) minimizes the transient processes area on the cornersand fractures of the cut out contour.
High lifting/lowering speed of support (not higher than 1 sec), high speed of mechanism positioning (not less than 20m/min) significantly reduce overall time of sheet cutting.
The technology of power reduction of stopped engine saves up to 1,5kW/h of electricity per one working shift.*
The maximum speed is defined. The specific cutting speed is set based upon technological cards of the specific cut metal.
Machine is completed on general base stand with integrated extracting table. Highly effective duct and air intake system provide an even flow of air intake for the entire surface of the table.
Replaceable lattices of the cutting table have a lifespan of at least one year, they can be inverted for secondary use. There are expansion racks over the entire surface for convenient removal of small parts and waste which fall inside the table.
The CNC Radian system is integrated on the frame of the machine. Operator’s workplace is made based on industrial PC with touch screen. Protection degree IP65, licensed operated system Windows 7.
The technology of automatic placement of the initial working gap by direct touch and automatic torch height stabilization by voltage on the arc allows to carry out cutting in completely automatic mode. It clearly maintains the technological cutting mode and prevents early failure of cutter’s worn out parts (nozzle, electrode). Equipment of the machine can be changed after agreement with the Customer.
