For example, the flights and hotel cost are too expensive or I can’t have one of my most valuable employees away from the shop for that long. Well, factory training can be scheduled so it won’t interrupt daily workflow, your employee obtains crucial knowledge and spends time with factory personnel that have operated the machine you just purchased.  Just think, when he has a problem he now has a factory friend he can contact.   That may save you down time and repair costs down the road.  Take the training it’s a great investment.

CNC Plasma Beveling Head – Plasma Cutting

Wednesday, February 23rd, 2011

bevel plasma cutter CNC Plasma Beveling Head   Plasma CuttingSmooth and accurate motion allows beveling of small holes to minimize angularity associated with plasma cutting.  This revolutionary design eliminates torch lead wind-up inherent with other beveling systems.

Our Precise spatial positioning allows the plasma beveling head to compensate for kerf angle, resulting in higher quality cuts.  The design  keeps critical components  away from the torch, minimizing the risk associated with plasma cutting.

Our system is designed and built to handle high-speed motion.
