Plasma Cutting, Punching and Forming Soft-Switch Inverter Technology More elements of Combicut Technological flexibility, achievable cutting quality and availability of the cutting system depend extensively on the coordination between power source and plasma cutting torch. Furthermore the productivity is influenced significantly by the configuration of the power source. Combination of Technologies In a joint effort with the fine plasma technology firm of Kjellberg, Boschert has developed a cost-effective alternative to combination punch/laser machines. Because of the advances in the fine plasma technology in recent years, it is now possible to cut even thin gauge sheet metal with very high quality. Forming Tool Forming of all types (e.g. louvering, knock-outs, extrusions). Intelligent Flexibility Primary-switched electronic power sources offer optimal possibilities for realising those demands. For this reason the inverter power source HiFocus 160i was developed, having the favourable working range of 4 to 160 A. Producing complex inside and outside contours quickly at high quality is possible now also with Plasma. Forming, offsetting, producing tongues, beads and even threads are the special domain of punching. The Boschert Combicut unites the strength of all processes in one machine. Productivity, Quality, Flexibility: decisive in the competition With the introduction of the HiFocus technology in the year 2000, the world of plasma cutting saw a new dimension of productivity, quality and variety of application, all based on the well-accepted FineFocus technology. The exceptional quality of the cutting surfaces is characterized by dross free cuts, the fine tolerance of the cut angle and straightness of cut, as well as smoothness of the cut edge and a positioning tolerance of +/- 0.2 mm. In addition, repeatability is 0.03 mm and is based on the technology of the HiFocus system, which is known world-wide. Marking Tool Permanent part identification with embossing tools and the marking option. An additional advantage of the Boschert Combicut is that our EccoLine, TWIN and TRI machines can all be equipped with plasma. With this versatility Boschert can meet all customer requirements. Further advantages are: • Superior cutting quality due to flexible adaption of the process sequence to the cutting job • Optimized cutting process by fast control of the cutting current, high dynamic response at small contours and reduced run-in path, corner signal, etc. • Longetivity of consumables by controlled current ramp- up and ramp-down during the start and stop sequence and at piercing as well • Rapid operation start because of extremely fast transition from pilot arc to main arc • Small components, therefore low weight • Improved energy balance due to minimized switching losses • Independent of mains fluctuations • All cutting parameters controllable by serial interface; serial data transfer to PC for diagnostic purposes Revotool Heavy duty Revotool for max. 6 mm mild steel with 8, 6 or 4 tools max. ø 16, 20 and 25 mm. Ecco Line TWIN Separate machine frame The separate frame allows independent and vibration-free operation of the plasma head. TRI BOSCHERT
