Plasma Cutting, Punching and Forming
In a joint effort with the fine plasma technology firm of Kjellberg, Boschert has developed a cost effective alternative to combination punch / laser machines.
Because of the advances in the fine plasma technology in recent years, it is now possible to cut even thin gauge sheet metal with very high quality.
An additional advantage of the Boschert CombiCut is that the EccoLine, TWIN and TRI Machines can all be equipped with plasma.
With this versatility Boschert can meet all customers requirements
Productivity, Quality, Flexibility: decisive in the competition
With the introduction of the HiFocus technology in the year 2000, the world of plasma cutting saw a new dimension of productivity, quality and variety of application, all based on the well-accepted FineFocus technology.
The exceptional quality of the cutting surfaces is characterized by dross free cuts, the fine tolerance of the cut angle and straightness of cut, as well as smoothness of the cut edge and a positioning tolerance of +/- 0.2 mm. In addition, repeatability is 0.03 mm and is based on the technology of the HiFocus system, which is known world-wide.
More elements of Combicut:
Forming Tool
Forming of all types (e.g. louvering, knock-outs, extrusions).
Marking Tool
Permanent part identification with embossing tools and the marking option.
Revotool
Heavy duty Revotool for max. 6 mm mild steel with 8, 6 or 4 tools max. ? 16, 20 and 25 mm.
Separate machine frame
The separate frame allows independent and vibration-free operation of the plasma head. Producing complex inside and outside contours quickly at high quality is possible now also with Plasma.
Forming, offsetting, producing tongues, beads and even threads are the special domain of punching.
The Boschert Combicut unites the strength of all processes in one machine.
Combination of Technologies
In a joint effort with the fine plasma technology firm of Kjellberg, Boschert has developed a cost-effective alternative to combination punch/laser machines. Because of the advances in the fine plasma technology in recent years, it is now possible to cut even thin gauge sheet metal with very high quality.
Intelligent Flexibility
An additional advantage of the Boschert Combicut is that our EccoLine, TWIN and TRI machines can all be equipped with plasma. With this versatility Boschert can meet all customer requirements.
Soft-Switch Inverter Technology
Technological flexibility, achievable cutting quality and availability of the cutting system depend extensively on the co-ordination between power source and plasma cutting torch. Furthermore the productivity is influenced significantly by the configuration of the power source.
Primary-switched electronic power sources offer optimal possibilities for realising those demands. For this reason the inverter power source HiFocus 160i was developed, having the favourable working range of 4 to 160 A.
Further advantages are:
- Superior cutting quality due to flexible adaption of the process sequence to the cutting job
- Optimized cutting process by fast control of the cutting current, high dynamic response at small contours and reduced run-in path, corner signal, etc.
- Longevity of consumables by controlled current ramp-up and ramp-down during the start and stop sequence and at piercing as well
- Rapid operation start because of extremely fast transition from pilot arc to main arc
- Small components, therefore low weight
- Improved energy balance due to minimized switching losses
- Independent of mains fluctuations
- All cutting parameters controllable by serial interface; serial data transfer to PC for diagnostic purposes
More elements of Combicut:
Automatic removal of small parts
A programmable trapdoor under the plasma head automatically removes finished parts up to 500 mm x 500 mm
Process stability and reliability
Even under unfavourable conditions a steady cutting process is ensured. Foil-coated or soiled material surfaces, conclusions in the metal, air gaps as well as mild steel with enhanced content of silicon or sulphur do not influence the cutting operation.
Quick-change torch
As one of the latest developments a quick-change torch with bayonet joint is at disposal.
The easy use leads to the reduction of idle times by:
- fast technology conversion for changing cutting jobs
- quick adaption to different material thicknesses
- fast replacement of consumables
Tapping
Tapping and drilling available as option.
Vacuum extraction
Effective vacuum extraction and the efficient filter system mean that cutting residue is always safely removed.
