Processes for sheet metal cutting

erlcut cutting systems can be equipped with tools for plasma and oxy-fuel cutting. Furthermore, the machines can be extended with marking systems and drilling systems. The number of possible tool stations depends on the track width and the type of the tool carriage (driven or dragged).

Overview

Plasma cutting up to 50 mm
Oxyfuel cutting up to 300 mm
Drilling, countersinking and threading
Embossing system for component markings

Vertical and bevel cutting

Oxy-fuel cutting

As required, the erlcut can be equipped with one or more oxy-fuel tool stations. In addition, depending on the requirements, up to four different cutting torches are available, which differ in terms of ignition and height control.

Automatic clamping (pneumatic) in multi-torch operation
Proportional valve per torch for constant flame pattern even in multi-torch operation
Max. cutting lenght standard: 200 mm
Max. cutting lenght on request: 300 mm

Plasma cutting

erlcut cutting systems can be equipped with different power sources depending on the requirements. High-quality cuts are possible up to a cutting length of 50 mm. Depending on the model, the erlcut can be equipped with one or more plasma supports.

Plasma bevelling

The plasma bevelling unit with intelligent initial height detection is designed as an entry-level solution for bevelling. The rotator unit is attached to a fully automatic z-axis on the gantry of the cutting system via a highly stable construction. The plasma bevel unit can be combined with other processes on erlcut gantry cutting systems.

AC servo motors for high performance with low maintenance
Intelligent initial height detection via tooltip
Magnetic collision protection for the torch holder

Bevel angles	0 to +/- 50°

Mechanical sheet metal processing

Drilling system erlcut-drill

erlcut gantry cutting systems can be extended by a drilling unit. The fully automatic erlcut-drill drilling system offers the possibility of drilling, threading and countersinking components before the actual cutting.

4/8/12-fold magazine for fast and manless tool changes
Parking position for tool magazine protected from swarf and sparks
Pneumatic downholder prevents slipping of the metal sheets
Displacement measuring system for material thickness detection ensures high working speed and prevents errors
Minimum quantity lubrication with oil-air mixture in fine dosage prevents build-up of frictional heat

Plate thickness	0 - 200 mm (automatic without adapter)
Tool changing	manual or pneumatic with tool magazine
Tool holder	SK 40 with Weldon surface clamping chuck
Drilling / countersinking	∅ 5 - 24 mm
Threading	M6 to M22 (internal thread)

Marking

Embossing system erlcut-sign

The erlcut-sign needle matrix embossing system can be used to mark components with the erlcut gantry cutting system. It can be used to create clear texts, lines and data matrix codes on the surface of the sheet metal plate.

Thanks to its own x/y-axis, the embossing system works in a self-sufficient area without machine movement, which means that drives, pinions and racks are protected, and high working speeds are possible.
The digitally controlled Z-axis guarantees highest repeat accuracy in the automatic control of the embossing process. In addition, it provides the full lowering speed depending on the material thickness up to the plate surface.

Marking field	max. 150 x 100 mm
Marking height	7 - 99 mm (depending on number of characters)
Materials	Steel, non-ferrous materials, plastics
Marking depth	up to 0.8 mm for mild steel
Air pressure	2 - 6 bar (determines penetration depth)
