Combination of two most modern cutting technologies makes it possible to obtain elements with yet unprecedented precision performance at minimum cost of production. The main advantage of this solution is the use of two different technologies within a single element with all the advantages of each. Hydroabrasive cutting technology allows us to achieve best quality parameters (characteristic for mechanical micro-machining), while "High Definition" plasma cutting technology ensures low manufacturing costs and sufficient technological parameters of the element edges that don't require highest standards. When comparing technologies represented by Combo machine and waterjet cutting machine, we can see that the cutting speed of the combined technology is definitely higher. Depending on the thickness and type of material, the difference in speed between those two technologies may amount from 20 to 60%. The difference is even higher when we compare individual cutting costs. When cutting a model element from the 15mm thick stainless steel sheet, the cost of one running meter in Combo technology is three times less than in laser technology and five times less than in waterjet technology.

PLASMA CUTTINGHD3000 tactile-tension height sensorHD3000 supports enable full use of HiDefinition plasma features (HiFocus by Kjellberg and HPR by Hypertherm). Supports are characterized by a very precise guidance of the torch over the material, ensuring the highest quality parameters of the cut edges. High working velocity of the Z axis and extraordinary controllability through CNC ECK enable the use of modern plasma technologies. Support uses the "workpiece" function, so that in the initial phase it sets the penetration height based on the touch of the material. This eliminates problems connected with positioning on the edges of the material and near the holes that were already cut out, which are typical for other sensors. In the second phase, after the plasma arc is stabilized, control is taken over by the computer that analyzes plasma current in real time. As a result of maintaining constant parameters of arc while piercing, lifespan of cathode and nozzle is multiplied. Chips of material created while piercing do not cause changes in height of the torch, so it will not hit the material and will not raise enough to break the arc. The most important asset is the use of interactive CUTBUS controller, which allows all parameters of piercing height, cutting and passage to be downloaded directly from technology tables of the controller. The technology designed specifically for those supports on out controllers allows to minimize the number of idle movements during the passage while cutting holes lying in short distances, at the same time ensuring safety of the torch head on fast and distant passages. That is why our cutting machines are up to 20% faster than competing machines equipped with identical plasma units. Anti-collision slide system minimizes the risk of damaging the torch during the slide passage.

Laser positionerAll cutting machines, regardless of the type of cutting torch are equipped with laser diode, which allows rapid fixing of the torch position in relation to the sheet or discard.

Plasma center-punchingUsed for marking points on cut elements using plasma torch. The cutting machine, using professional CNC control, marks points with +/- 0,2 mm accuracy. Plasma cutting torch mounted on the cutting machine is used for this purpose. Specific program code generates short burns, creating small cavity in the cut element. Depth of the burn depends on the voltage set in the plasma generator. The best quality of burns is achieved on plasma units with automatic gas console (HiFocus by Kjellberg and HPR by Hypertherm), because they enable separate control of the plasma arc and markingoff/center-punching plasma gas pressure, as well as other parameters of the cutting process. This technology replaces, to a certain degree, the drilling machine used by our company in cutting machines.

PLASMA CUTTINGMarking-outMarking-out is performed in order to apply lines, inscriptions and shapes onto the sheet. It facilitates the processes of welding and bending carried out in accordance with the set shapes. It also enables to describe individual details. Depth and width of markingout are smoothly regulated. Marking-out can be performed in two ways: by using the electronic console or a separate unit equipped with "a marking torch. Machine marking-out is a time-saving solution which at the same time eliminates frequently occurring human errors, for example, marking out a curve with a radius which is bigger than a cut detail. This solution guarantees a faster production process.

Plasma unitsWe cooperate with leading plasma unit manufacturers: German Kjellberg and American Hypertherm and Thermadyne. The technologies introduced by our partners allow to achieve best plasma cutting performance. Capabilities of modern plasma units enables high precision and orthogonality of the cut edges with minimal or no burrs under the cut edge.

The above data depends on the type of the cut material and its structure. Piercing ability depends on the type of material, thickness, height sensor and controller.

Hydroabrasive cuttingUHDEUsing STANDARD-UHDE series pumps in the integrated waterjet cutting systems is a result of company's long experience, high technological and service reliability. Due to this fact, the STANDARD-UHDE series became a leading European standard in clean water cutting, as well as in abrasive material waterjet cutting. Pump parameters are operated from the main control panel. All parameters, including output pressure, oil temperature, oil pressure etc. are analyzed in real time. The pumps are cooled using air, which enables additional use for the produced heat in room heating. Siemens engines and Parker hydraulic elements used in the pump provide high working performance, Specialized system of liquid preparation eliminates pressure fluctuations, enabling uniform work. The pump is equipped with stepless regulation of output pressure available through the control panel. UHDE Gmbh also designed the original solutions for high-pressure equipment elements. Examples include the patented high-pressure non-return valve with improved durability and easy servicing, and reliable pressure reduction unit (used for fast and safe release of pressure after machine shutdown, or for pressure reduction while making the opening hole in brittle materials). Symmetrical, unmanned high-pressure accumulator was designed using the "metal on metal" method. Elimination of threaded joints in the accumulator's construction increased its lifespan. In HPS/HPD-type pumps, an innvative - symmetrical - high-pressure cylinder was used. During a prolonged use f the pump, operation marks appear on the inner surface of the cylinder, within the sealing workspace; also, lifespan of the sealing is noticeably decreased. In this solution, the highpressure cylinder can be rotated and the sealing may be installed in the part of the cylinder that was not previously used.

Service car The pumps are equipped with a special service car, which allows the client to change the sealing without the need of moving the heavy high-pressure cylinder to the work table. Sealing can be changed in a comfortable position on the pump table (above picture).TECHNICAL DATAPower [kW] Maksimum flow [l/min] Output pressure [bar] Oil tank capacity [l] Lenght [mm] Width [mm] Hight [mm]

Hydroabrasive cutting6000 BAR TECHNOLOGYUHDE was the first company to introduce industrial pump with 6000 bar pressure in 2005. With such high pressure, the cutting speed is 250% higher and the thickness of cut material is 200% higher in comparison to the speed of pumps with 4150 bar pressure. Quantity of utilized abrasive material is decreased by 30% and the quality of the cut surfaces is comparable with the quality of ground surfaces.

UHP pump station - very high pressure with 2.5 l/min. water used. Energy requirement of the station - about 45 kW

CENTERLINE IV 4150 cutting headCENTERLINE IV 4150 cutting head is one of the most efficient and durable cutting heads available on the market. Diamond orifice improves cutting performance and increases lifespan of the cutting head. High pressure stream of water is concentrated in the cutting nozzle. Going through the water orifice, it creates a very narrow stream. The abrasive material is injected into the flowing stream of water and creates a relatively homogeneous stream in the mixing chamber. Stream of the mixture is then directed in the concentrator nozzle. Precise alignment of the orifice and mixing chamber guarantee a significant extension of the nozzle's lifespan and elimination of stream dissipation.

ABRASIVE MATERIAL MANAGEMENT SYSTEMAMS is a complete, ready for plugging set essential for waterjet cutting with the addition of abrasive material. The set includes: - IV 4150 cutting head, - ALLFI abrasive material batcher with 300 cm3 intermediate tank with the option of abrasive material quantity regulation 0 to 600 gr/min., - abrasive material feeder with 530 dm3 tank (about 1.3 tons of abrasive).
