Robotic Beam Cutting and Scribing System automatically generates tool paths.
Press Release Summary:
Robotic Beam Cutting and Scribing System automatically generates tool paths from CIS/2 part files for cuts, copes, holes, slots, notches, cutouts, and assembly markings on beams up to 40 ft long, 4-44 in. wide, and 4-18 in. high. Featuring servo-robot laser vision and FANUC ARC Mate® 6-axis robot arm, system is controlled by StruCIM® software that allows operators to load CIS/2 part files to generate code for robot to cut lengths, copes, holes, slots, notches, cutouts, and scribe for assembly.

Robotic Beam Cutting & Scribing System
Cleveland - Lincoln Electric Automation introduces a Robotic Beam Cutting and Scribing System for the structural steel industry. The latest addition to the company's custom robotic solutions product line automatically generates tool paths from CIS/2 part files for cuts, copes, holes, slots, notches, cutouts and assembly markings on beams up to 40 foot long, 4 to 44 inches wide and 4 to 18 inches in height.
The latest Servo-Robot laser vision, FANUC ARC Mate® 6-axis robot arm and StruCIM® 3D simulation software technologies are incorporated into the new system, resulting in accurate sensing of beam variations, higher quality robotic cutting and scribing, and a reduction of prints and paperwork on the assembly and manufacturing floor.
The innovative StruCIM® software raises the efficiency and flexibility of the tool path generation to a new level. Operators can load CIS/2 part files (SD/S, StruCAD, Tekla or others) to the interface and the code generation automatically begins; no manual programming is needed. The resulting code allows the robot to cut lengths, copes, holes, slots, notches, cutouts, and scribe sub-material markings for assembly.
Lincoln Electric Automation engineers can customize and build a system to meet specific customer requirements and specifications. System layouts are optimized to provide cost-effective solutions that minimize the floor space requirements.
Demonstrations of Lincoln Electric structural steel cutting, scribing and welding solutions can be scheduled. Lincoln Electric Automation will be hosting tours, presentations and demonstrations on September 24, 2010 as a part of the AISC SteelDay 2010. Please contact Deanna Postlethwaite, Lincoln Electric Automation Marketing Manager at 216-383-2045 for more details.
