P

Unmanned production

The integrated sensors, process monitoring, and control enable largely autonomous operation, saving personnel costs and relieving your employees.

P

Intuitive operation

The user-friendly software requires only minimal process knowledge and allows for easy program creation.

P

High reproducibility

Precise cuts, minimal tolerances, and straight edges ensure consistently high quality.

Oxy-fuel cutting with XFLARE

In oxy-fuel cutting, a flame of oxygen and fuel gas is used to cut metals through oxidation. This process enables cost-effective cutting of thick plate thicknesses. Thanks to automatic gas pressure regulation, the pressure is kept constant and controlled within optimal parameters to ensure the highest cutting quality.

 

1. Ignition & preheating

The flame is automatically ignited in the torch by the integrated ignition system. Initially, local preheating of the workpiece to ignition temperature takes place.

 

2. Cutting process

The oxygen jet oxidizes the material, thereby producing the actual cutting action. The process is exothermic, meaning that heat is generated, and the process remains active as long as the process gases are flowing.

3. Control & Guidance

The XFLARE moves the torch along the workpiece contour at the optimal feed rate. At the same time, the process parameters and the distance are controlled to achieve the best cutting results.

Technology & Equipment

Automated oxy-fuel cutting with XFLARE optimizes the cutting process through precise control of the flame and gas flow. It ensures consistently high cut quality, especially when cutting thick materials. Automation minimizes operator errors, increases efficiency, and reduces processing times, which collectively leads to higher productivity.

Automatic Gas Pressure Control

The automatic gas console regulates the pressure of the process gases and maintains it within the optimal range, thereby achieving a very high cutting quality.

Preselectable Cutting Parameters

Adjustable parameters for all gases and sheet thicknesses during ignition, preheating, piercing, and cutting enable efficient, high-quality processing right from the start.

Pre-calibrated Tools (TCP)

The tools have already been measured and calibrated, so they are ready for immediate use.

Integrated Ignition

This feature ensures reliable initiation of the cutting process by automatically igniting the flame, thereby enabling a smooth start to the cutting operation.

Flashback Detection

Enhances safety and extends the burner’s service life by detecting and preventing potentially dangerous flashbacks.

Tool-Free Nozzle Replacement

We enable quick, tool-free nozzle changes with one-handed operation thanks to a bayonet lock. This saves you time and minimizes downtime.

High-Performance Nozzles for Long Service Life

PSF High Speed Cutting nozzles deliver both high cutting speeds and long service life.

Slag Detection

The capacitive distance control system detects slag to prevent malfunctions and collisions. The distance between the nozzle and the workpiece remains constant, ensuring consistent cuts and extending the nozzle’s service life.

Probing

Optional height measurement using a laser distance sensor or a capacitive cap.

Plain-text error messages

Plain-text error messages are displayed via the graphical user interface to enable precise monitoring and diagnostics during the cutting process.

Sectional Exhaust System

The sectional exhaust system automatically adjusts the airflow to the position of the oxy-fuel torch and extracts a large portion of the smoke generated downward.

Pull-out drawers

Pull-out drawers make it easy to empty out slag and scrap material and quickly retrieve good parts that have fallen inside, especially during prototype production.
