Automatic Process Control Oxy-Fuel Cutting - 4

APC makes the whole Process Cost Effective When looking at costs, it is the cost per metre of the cut that really counts and not the overall investment. This cost is made up of a number of elements including the cost of energy, the cost of consumables and cost of labour. Plate Thickness Process Costs Cutting Cost Comparison When cutting plates that are 20 mm (3/4”) or thicker, Oxy-Fuel should be considered as primary process. New high performance nozzle design increases cutting speed, the most significant factor for process efficiency. Based on the latest statictics, 20-50 mm carbon steel...

APC Reduces Costs Even Further Automatic internal igniton of the flame speeds up the process and reduces gas costs. The flame can be stopped automatically when the cut is finished and then be easy re-ignited again when preheating of the next piece needs to start. This is a similar way to what happens when a modern car stops at a traffic light. A fully automated process maximises the efficiency of the cutting machine. Slag Detection Slag detection allows a perfect cut even if slag from previous piercing is in the way. You will lose the cut when you do not act while the torch is moving over...

Automatic Process Control Oxy-Fuel Cutting - 6

APC increases Safety of the Cutting Operation It is very important to have the right level of safety knowledge when cutting with Oxy-Fuel. Full knowledge of all the various gases being used and how to handle and use them is especially important. One benefit of using APC is that many of the required safety features are already built into the system. Automatic Ignition “Every site using Oxy-Fuel cutting that I have visited, reported accidents due to faulty manual ignition processes”, this is a quote from an experienced service technician from the USA. According to the EU Machinery Directive,...
