Infinitely Rotary Plasma Bevel Cutting Machine and Its Application in Industry

Ke Xiaogan

Mr. Ke Xiaogan, Messer Kunshan

The infinitely-rotating plasma bevel cutting machine is a 5-axis linkage composite motion cutting machine, which can form V, X, Y and other types of groove at one time, and complete the groove processing completed by multiple processes such as traditional cutting and milling. Greatly improved efficiency, guaranteed quality and saved resources.
This product has been widely used in shipbuilding and engineering machinery in foreign countries since the 1990s, and has achieved good results.
This paper introduces the technical status of the Messer Groove plasma cutting machine, focusing on the three key technologies of the groove cutting: multi-axis linkage CNC system, infinite slewing head device, groove making software, analysis of its in the shipbuilding industry, construction machinery Applications in the industry and other industries, and a complete solution for plasma bevel cutting.

Application of infinite rotary plasma bevel cutting machine in shipbuilding industry

Messer Cutting & Welding Co., Ltd. (Kunshan) is committed to producing the highest standards of thermal cutting machines in the sheet metal processing industry. Since 1997, the first world-class plasma bevel cutting machine (Korean Hyundai Shipbuilding) has been launched. Providing more than 70 of the world's most advanced plasma groove cutting machines to domestic and overseas, and assisting several large domestic and foreign shipbuilding companies to successfully apply plasma bevel cutting machines, and began mass production of groove parts, and also accumulated rich designs. Production and service experience has trained a large number of first-class engineers to deeply understand the needs of customers. Major Asian shipyards such as Hyundai Shipbuilding, Daewoo Shipbuilding, Samsung Heavy Industries, South Korea Stx, Dalian Shipyard, Bohai Heavy Industries, Japan Tsuneishi Shipbuilding, India Cochin Shipyard, China Shipbuilding (Taiwan), etc. have used Messer cutting and welding Co., Ltd. (Kunshan) CNC plasma bevel cutting machine. The infinitely rotary plasma bevel cutter is commonly used in the shipbuilding industry to cut V-grooves or to compensate for the natural angle of inclination of the plasma-cut surface. The groove angle varies over ±45 °.

The application of infinitely rotating plasma bevel cutting machines in some industries represented by the construction machinery industry has also been further promoted. The characteristics of cutting parts in engineering machinery, wind power generation, bridge engineering and other industries are:

The quality requirements of the cut parts are high, the dimensional accuracy requirements are high, and the Y, K and other types of grooved roots are required to be uniform and require a high surface quality.
It is necessary to cut complex groove types, such as Y, X, K groove.
The variety of cutting parts is relatively simple, and it may happen that the same part program or a few parts program is repeatedly cut for a long time.

Messer Cutting & Welding Co., Ltd. provides customers with plasma bevel cutting machines for these industries, and has created a highly targeted expert database to meet the different needs of customers.

For example, there are customers who need to cut the groove of different thickness steel plates. The flexible control of the Z axis can be controlled by the Global Control CNC system and the powerful functions of the OmniBevel groove making software meet the needs of users. The cut parts are as shown.

In short, after the era entered the 21st century, CNC cutting technology has made rapid progress. Plasma bevel cutting technology has entered into adulthood. Its key technologies: multi-axis linkage CNC system, infinite slewing device, groove Production software and plasma technology are quite mature.
With the remarkable improvement of the national industrial level and the great enhancement of economic strength, the good opportunity for CNC plasma bevel cutting machine to be widely used in various industries in China has come, and the prelude of Chinese industry to catch up with the world's advanced level has been opened!
