Plate processing machine creates complex bevels in single cut

Tecoi TRF plate processing machine

Tecoi North America has introduced the TRF plate processing machine for heavy welding edge preparation and drilling in such industries as wind tower fabrication, civil construction, shipbuilding, large steel structures, large vessels, and petrochemical infrastructure.

The machine incorporates CBM Cold Bevel Milling technology to create complex bevels in a single, high-speed cut. According to the company, this results in improved quality and dimensional tolerance without affecting the material properties of the metal. The edges do not need to be cleaned after the bevel is cut, and bevels for narrow-gap welding can be milled in one pass. Customized milling tools with specific geometries are available.

The machine features an automatic multihead system that duplicates productivity in the same processing station. A built-in automatic tool storage selection system also is available, capable of storing and configuring five tools for each job. A marking system can be provided for laser, plasma, scribing, micropercussion, and ink, with options available for text, numbers, bar codes, and auxiliary lines.
