DMX Automated Plasma Beveller, a next-generation beveling system, provides high reliability, enhanced safety, and ease-of-use. It cuts the full range of weld preparations, including V, Y, X, and K bevels, with cut angles up to 45-deg. on materials up to 50 mm.
The DMX Beveller is complemented by the release of ESAB’s new SmartBevel Technology, for easier programming and accurate bevel cutting with minimal operator intervention. SmartBevel includes beveling data and geometric compensations necessary to cut V, X, Y, and K bevels on mild steel from 6 to 50-mm thick. Unlike competitive systems, SmartBevel integrates all bevel compensations into the CNC, so bevel programming is simplified, and any fine tuning of the cut is done quickly and easily at the machine.
The beveller absorbs and detects a torch crash without any added components, as well as automatically resets after a collision without the operator touching the torch or climbing on the cutting table to do so. Faster resets result in higher productivity and eliminate dangerous operator tasks from the beveling process. The reduction in complexity afforded by direct drive technology enhances both performance and reliability, and enables an extremely compact design.
Reducing the size and weight of the bevel head has additional advantages. The DMX Beveller is significantly smaller and lighter than traditional plasma bevel heads, so it can be mounted on smaller gantries, making quality plasma bevel cutting more affordable and saving valuable floor space. DMX is available on ESAB’s Combirex DX and larger gantries.
A Multi-Point Collision Protection System provides complete collision protection for the entire bevel head. Multiple sensors are used to protect parts of the bevel head that come in close proximity to the cutting table.
