Automatic Process Control for Oxy-Fuel Cutting with a Robot

APC for Robot is an Oxy-Fuel cutting system with Cutting Torch, Gas Control, Flame Ignition and Height Sensing, all in one package. Height control has to be performed by the robot. The cutting database for FIT+ three torches is either stored in the Operator Terminal or directly implemented in the machine control (CNC). 

Process: Oxy-fuel
