The goal when cutting beams is to create parts that perfectly fit together. This makes later assembly and welding process quicker and better manageable. To achieve these perfect fits, the KRANENDONK’s cutting systems uses real product dimensions, not theoretical data. By 3D measuring each individual beam and adjusting the robot path accordingly, the deviations of the raw material are compensated. Since connections now fit much better, there is significant savings in welding hours as well.
Reliable CCS cutting concept
The CCS 1250 is a robotic cutting cell for the production of beams, profiles and square tubes up to 1250mm width. The CCS 1250 can cut any 3D shape due its large robot. The system is based on KRANENDONKS’s standardized CCS concept. All electric and measuring components are integrated into the rigid base frame, resulting in a durable system even in harsh conditions. Since the system completes the entire cycle (in-feed, measuring, cutting and output) in one operation with consistent quality, it replaces approximately 8 persons per shift.
Easy operation
The CCS system uses KRANENDONK’s open software package called ARAC. This control system makes the programming of complex cuts easy. The input of the required parameters can be done manually or directly from CAD/CAM. The DFP module in the ARAC software adapts the cutting path to the actual dimension of each profile, which saves costs during the assembly of the produced beams.
High accuracy
The unique feature of the CCS is the standing robot and the inflow measuring system. The standing robots reduce additional axes and thus maintenance. The inflow measuring system has an accuracy of less than 0.01% deviation on a profile of 10m.
