Automated plasma cutter

For this application, a space gantry was tested in combination with a plasma cutter. A plasma is an electrically conductive gas that burns at approx. 30,000 degrees and processes workpieces with the resulting arc. Under these difficult conditions, the gantry robot nevertheless guides the cutter over the workpiece without any problems and cuts it to the desired shape.

With dimensions of 2000x2000x1000 mm, the igus room gantry is the largest in the manufacturer's range and can be equipped with various end effectors, camera systems and accessories. It is available without control as well as in 3 further variants including control.
