PCS heavy duty range of machines from Profile Cutting Systems
The PCS heavy duty range
The PCS heavy duty range from
Profile Cutting Systems consists of full portal design
machines, where the plates to be cut are placed in between the rails. The machine carriage is of welded construction with a transverse box beam section and heavy box shaped side supports, which run on rail surfaces lower than the cutting table.
The main longitudinal drive wheels are mounted on the precision machined side rail. A motorised carriage drives a steel band for the transverse movement of the slave carriage. This machine is suitable for both standard and precision plasma systems, typically using Hypertherm, Innerlogic and Thermal Dynamics plasma systems.
Features of the PCS heavy duty range include:
Configuration:
- Effective cutting width: 3.0 - 7.5m
- Effective cutting length: -1200mm from total rail length
