Kerf Developments is launching its 1.5 m cutting width and 3 m cutting length Scorpion 2000G as a low cost oxy-fuel profile cutter with sophisticated control and CADCAM to appeal to entry-level users.
The Scorpion 2000G, supplied with the latest Burny CNC control system, which has an Intel Pentium processor, is 300% faster than its predecessor, according to Kerf. A 50 standard shape library simplifies the programming process. Furthermore, the Scorpion offers X/Y jogging in eight directions, mirror rotation and scaling for parts, plate alignment and a selectable kerf option.
The Burny control incorporates Lantek Expert I CADCAM software. The simple and capable software package is suitable for entry level users. If offers full nesting of components to maximise material efficiency and reduce waste, and optimised cutting is supported by intelligent lead-in and lead-out technology plus a material database.
Additionally, Lantek Expert I provides post-processors for the Burny controls to ensure files are efficiently transferred. The software with the Scorpion 2000G accepts 2D files from AutoCAD and Solidworks in DWG and DXF format.
The Scorpion 200G boasts a high quality Harris oxy-propane cutting torch in the cutter carriage for accuracy and the cutting head is mounted on precision machined linear guideways with a ballscrew drive system. This combination provides smooth travel and permits adjustment of the cutting head while processing.
An extremely rigid and robust cutting bed means that very heavy plates up to 300 mm thick can be processed as standard.
