MICROSTEP is introducing a process for post-machining beveling using gantry-type CNC cutting machines, without the need for a robotic systems or programming. Additional Beveling Process (ABP) allows beveling to be completed on a single machine, generating measurable gains in quality, time, and cost savings.
MicroStep cutting machines are available throughout North America from United Precision Services Inc. National sales manager John Prevish explained that thanks to its unified concept of bevel cutting equipment, MicroStep is redefining thick material subsequent bevel preparation.
“ABP is fast, reliable and applicable to a wide variety of material processing options such as plasma, laser, oxyfuel, and waterjet,” Prevish stated. “The technology allows parts to be processed from completely different machines.
“For example, thick parts cut with oxyfuel can be subsequently beveled by plasma, or parts pre-cut with plasma can be cut with fiber laser,” he continued. “Moreover, the same scanner that is used for ABP can scan and automatically compensate irregularity of pipes, square tubes, beams, or domes.”
