On December 3, Ohio, US-based stainless steel and metal processor AT&F Steel, a subsidiary of American Tank and Fabricating Co., has announced the addition of a third state-of-the-art robot cutting system to its extensive capabilities.
The advanced contour beveling system cuts multiple bevel profiles, straight or shaped, in a single operation. The system eliminates downstream operations like grinding, machining, and handling. Using precisely cut beveled parts minimizes fit-up and reduces welding time, lowering overall manufacturing costs.
"The equipment is state-of-the-art," said Michael Ripich, AT&F president, adding, "The laser guided eye ensures great bevel quality every time. Moreover, this technology is a great deal faster and more accurate than traditional beveling methods, as well as safer."
