Plasma cutting machine transforms engineering business
November 1st 2006 Afon Engineering of Swansea is a fabricator that specialises in cutting, profiling, trolling, bending and forming plates from materials up to 50mm thick. Afon has invested in an ESAB Suprarex precision plasma cutting machine which, it says, has improved productivity and accuracy so much that it has transformed the business. The Suprarex machine is unusual in that it has an ESAB 200A precision plasma cutting torch mounted on a bevel head that enables profiling and edge preparation to be carried out simultaneously making a substantial difference to how quickly plates can be prepared. This accuracy helps to streamline the production of fabrications as well as being beneficial to Afon's customers. Additionally, the same plasma head can be used to mark the plates so that other components can be positioned ready for welding More articles from ESAB Automation Ltd: |
