Oxy Fuel Cutting

The least exotic of the four and the oldest process is the plain and simple oxy fuel cutting process. The traditional oxy fuel torch is replaced by a mechanized torch with the gas flow and valves controlled by the CNC. This torch is mounted on the similar 2½ axes system. This is still used extensively for cutting very thick metal substrates which cannot be cut with plasma or laser economically. Torch Height Control from IHT Germany

MSX 750 CAP
The cost effective MSX 750 CAP system features a touchless, precise and fast clearance control for oxy fuel cutting machines achieving high quality dry cuts. It consists of the LINEAR DRIVE 2220 with a built-in capacitive sensor system and a motor controller. Ring electrodes measure the clearance to metallic work piece.
