Beam Coping Machine Testing
The main reason is cost. A plasma-cutting process can produce a high level of carcinogenic dust. This dust must be captured in an extraction filtering system. This and the cost to completely cover the machine to evacuate it raise the price significantly beyond what an average fabricator is willing to pay to get a beam coping solution.
The APC 1200 is an upgraded version of the APC 1200. The combination plasma and oxy fuel cutting features are available with both torches mounted on pivoting heads. The computers will control the flipping of one to the other in less than a second, so you don't have to do any manual work. To maximize efficiency, the machine is operated primarily using the Plasma. The machine is preprogrammed so that it automatically switches to the Oxy Fuel if the material thickness exceeds the Plasma's cutting capabilities. The upgraded unit includes laser probing to adjust the height automatically.
