ESAB Welding & Cutting Products has partnered with robot manufacturer Kuka and automation manufacturing company Arc Specialties to design and develop a robotic plasma cutting cell. It features robotic cutting software that helps ensure accurate cuts, creates true bevel angles, compensates for kerf, and eliminates complicated robot programming, states the manufacturer.
The cell can cut or cope branch pipes, cut trunk pipes with or without bevel, and cut to length automatically. Oxygen-assisted cutting provides a ready-to-weld surface; within just a few minutes, the robot is positioned to cut a custom-fitted opening in a part. The cutting cell also automatically cuts I-beam and square tubing.
A wizard-based interface simplifies the programming process and eliminates the need for robot programming. The operator enters the part dimensions, and the system automatically determines the optimum cutting parameters. Part programs can be saved, loaded, and stored with nesting.
