Fiber lasers and profiling equipment will be showcased in Orlando at Fabtech.
Posted: October 2, 2024
Innovative Cutting and Profiling Equipment
HGG Profiling Equipment BV (Houston, TX), a leading manufacturer of cutting and profiling equipment for the welding industry, will be exhibiting its RPC 1200 Mk3 Plasma Beam Coping Solution in Booth S-24177.
Experts will be available to discuss the RPC 1200 Mk3 and the popular RoboRail robotic plasma cutting machine and other innovative automated metal cutting technologies at the show. The RPC 1200 Mk3 plasma beam coping solution is capable of cutting any type of pipe profile, including profile beams, angle bar, channel, square tubes, pipes, plates, T-bars and bulbs. It is the world’s first beam coping robot that can also profile pipes.
The RoboRail has been proven to significantly reduce profile cutting time by up to six hours in some applications including pipe for railings, channels and other miscellaneous parts. The compact robotic machine’s ability to take designs directly from 3D SDS/2, TEKLA, STEP, and other CAD files ensures the most accurate cutting performance for channels, tube columns and angles up to 8”-x-8”, and 1-¼” pipe. The Hypertherm plasma cutting system processes handrail pipe, stringer channels, box tubes, angles, etc., with ease.
HGG Profiling Equipment’s commitment to offering its customers the freedom to create is evident in the quality 3D profiling machines that provide complete flexibility to cut complicated profiling in steel pipes, beams, box sections and other profiles regardless of size and specifications.
Company to Launch New Models of Fiber Lasers
Universal Tool and Engineering (UTE) (Johnson City, TN) will launch its new models of fiber lasers. Known for their expertise in tube benders, UTE has expanded significantly since doubling its warehouse space in 2016. President Jamie Abraham identified a market gap and successfully launched his line of fiber lasers in 2021. Abraham’s commitment to exceeding customer expectations drives UTE’s promise for all product lines.
In Booth S-37047, UTE will showcase a combo tube and sheet laser featuring a 6 kW power source capable of handling 90% of market materials. The sheet laser includes an exchange table with a 5’-x-10’ capacity, while the tube laser boasts universal clamps for versatile use with shapes up to 8” diameter. The system runs on Windows 10 for user-friendly control, with software that is installable on multiple desktops to maximize production speeds. UTE offers a standard three-year warranty for peace of mind. Also on display will be the Select Series all-electric bender, renowned for its robust build and BendproG2V3 control technology. All-electric models offer enhanced accuracy and quicker setup times compared to hydraulic machines, with precise pressure control ensuring quality bends across various materials. Whether for high production runs or custom orders, the consistency and efficiency of UTE’s all-electric bender make it the preferred choice.
