AirCut Plasma Cutting Systems

AirCut Plasma Cutting Systems

TEKA Absaug- und Entsorgungstechnologie, Coesfeld, Germany, will be presenting a new complete plasma cutting system at EuroBLECH in Hanover, Germany (October, 22 through 25, 2024).  The new "AirCut" series from TEKA is an integral solution in which all components are complementing each other: Plasma cutting head, flame cutting table, EcoCube filter system, CAD/CAM software, component library and Industry 4.0 connection. The new complete solution can be installed ready for cutting in one day according to the plug & play principle. The new systems are taylored in particular to the needs of small and medium-sized metalworking companies (SMEs).

AirCut plasma cutting systems in two sizes

The new plasma cutting systems from TEKA are available in two sizes: AirCut medium format has an effective cutting range of 1250 mm × 2500 mm and AirCut large format 1520 mm × 3060 mm. Both AirCut variants consist of complimentary components. With a maximum positioning speed of up to 40,000 mm/min and a positioning accuracy of ≤ 0.15 mm/m, the AirCut plasma cutting systems are also extremely precise.

CAD/CAM control and Industry 4.0 networking

When developing AirCut, TEKA placed great emphasis on durability. A flame-cutting table made of welded structural steel ensures maximum stability and the precise rack and pinion drive for the X and Y axes of the guide machine is a design element that guarantees accuracy and durability. Ease of operation and user-friendliness were also among the key requirements for the developers. A free-standing operating terminal with Intel Core i5 processor and 19-inch screen is included as part of the AirCut systems. The CAD/CAM software supplied, including a component library, makes it easy to control the cutting processes. A Panasonic FB-I4C InfoHub module with cloud access and networking options via M2M communication protocols such as OPC UA and MQTT ensure Industry 4.0 connectivity and long-term viability.

EcoCube filter system

To ensure a clean working environment, TEKA has equipped the automatic extraction table with sectional control. An integrated interface allows for remote start and power supply of the filter system. For the AirCut series, the developers have chosen the W3-certified EcoCube filter system. The EcoCube filter systems also follow the plug-and-play principle. They can be installed and ready for operation on-site in less than half an hour. In the AirCut series, the EcoCube filter systems are available in two performance levels: EcoCube 5.5 kW (medium format) and EcoCube 7.5 kW (large format).
