Plate Processing Machine Combines High Performance Thermal and Mechanical Cutting

Tecoi North America (Longview, TX) will feature its powerful and versatile THOR® (Tecoi Hyper Operative Range) plate processing machine at Booth A5178. Designed for heavy-duty thermal cutting applications, THOR integrates plasma cutting and a beveling system, and oxyfuel cutting with an auxiliary tube and profile lathe. Tecoi’s THOR machine also integrates mechanical cutting with the capability to manufacture parts using multiple operations, including: milling, drilling, tapping, countersinking, marking, etc.

High-performance THOR plasma cutting operations include either one- or two-cutting heads and an optional beveling system, as well as oxyfuel cutting with up to 12 torches and an auxiliary tube and profile lathe. Tecoi’s THOR machine has a central XX axis with a path of 24” (610 mm) working on a robust double-beam design. It completes machining tasks with a fixed gantry and the option to fit up two machining heads.

The THOR plate processing machine features Tecoi’s exclusive BEVEL ARC® beveling system, accommodating angles of ± 50° with maximum precision. The machine also features Tecoi’s DRILTEC® system for drilling and tapping with the option of an automatic tool charger while offering SK 50 tool storage with 20 automated positions or five fixed tools. The cutting table can be equipped with dross collection under the grid and an independent chip collection system for recycling. The cutting grid is comprised of metal supports and a continuous lateral stop for maximum plate holding. Slag can be collected with raisable drawers or by Tecoi’s VIBRATIC® system. Fumes are extracted using Tecoi’s ECOTEC® filters and filtered dust is safely collected in the DUSTEC® system.

Tecoi North America will also highlight its laser plate cutting and processing machines, including the new LS Mega Laser. It provides steel service centers, manufacturers, and fabricators a laser cutting machine with virtually unlimited working length cutting capabilities, while still incorporating all Tecoi’s advanced laser cutting machine innovations, including a double core fiber system, double head cutting technology, and automatic beveling with multitool drilling.

Tecoi designs and manufactures customized solutions for a wide array of companies and industries that comprise a wide range of sectors in metal processing — including steel service centers, steel construction, heavy-duty machinery, the oil and gas industry, shipyards, and for wind power.
