CNC Plasma/Gas Profile Cutting Machine -- PUMA-BX

CNC Plasma/Gas Profile Cutting Machine -- PUMA-BX

The CNC based pipe profile cutting machine PUMA-BX, is a unique innovative product from Technocrats Plasma Systems. It can be used for all profile cutting needs on smaller as well as bigger size pipes. It is available in different size variants. Puma can either be Chuck driven or Conveyer driven. The machine uses state-of-the art technology in cutting (plasma or oxyfuel), electronics and software. It delivers superb cut quality and productivity at a much lower overall cost. It eliminates time consuming processes of forming templates and manual cutting and subsequent grinding. It produces smooth cut profiles as per drawings and all that in a fraction of the time involved in manual processes. All these qualities put together, PUMA profile cutting equipments provide an excellent ROI.

Standard Scope Of Supply:

  • 5- Axis CNC based Pipe Profile Cutting system complete with Software, Hardwares, Auto Bevel Cutting attachment, Plasma &/or Oxy fuel Cutting torch and Plasma Power Source , with 6 meters Long cable assembly.
  • CNC Controller:
    PUMA Series CNC Controllers are standalone controllers with embeded intelligence. These controllers also have built-in PLC's where customized programs can be downloaded. Navigation is through touchscreen based menu driven user interface making it extremely. Use 32-bit high-performance CPU and super-large scale programmable element FPGA, apply real-time multi-task control technology and hardware interpolation technology, and have high stability when working.
  • Torch Height Control:
    This mechanism ensures that the torch maintains a constant distance from the pipe. During cutting, if there is undulation in the pipe surface, there is a chance that the torch touches the plate surface and this may result in torch damage and damage of the profile being cut.
  • Racks, Pinions, Gearboxes and Drives:
    Positioning speed and accuracy of cutting depends on the selection of components. PUMA series uses most meticulously picked components to achieve positioning accuracy: +/-0.5mm and repeatability : +/- 0.5 mm constantly and consistently over years.
  • Servo Motors:
  • Nesting Software:
    AutoCAD compatible software allows to click on a pipe, unfold the surface and generate ISO codes for the CNC, all in a matter of few clicks.
    1. DXF import feature.
    2. Explore solid pipes and unfold surface.
    3. G code generation.
    4. Cutting sequence customization.
