3D profiling automatically cut 3D shapes on pipes, H-beams and other profiles. These prepared profiles are used to form welded jointsj. While 2D profiling cut flat bars or plates, 3D Profiling by forming a precise fit through three-dimensional shape cutting on the material, makes strong welded connections.
3D Profiling in full production
3D profiling is done with CAD-CAM (Computer-Aided Design and Computer-Aided Manufacturing) connections and CNC cutters.
It can be included within the cut dimensions of a separate weld specification (such as bevel angle and root opening).
3D Profiling is
3D profiling is performed with a plasma or oxygen cutting torch mounted on a robotic arm.
This profiling process also compensates for warpage in materials such as curved or crumpled pipes.
This is achieved through a combination of a laser measuring system and sophisticated mechanical engineering.
Fit-up and Welding
Weld preparation is applied during the design and detailing phase, so the cut material is ready for optimal fitting and welding immediately after profiling.
The cutting material is easily fitted and the amount of welding is greatly reduced, which saves a lot of time and money.
The final result is an assembled structure initially set up in the design model.
