Located in the north of Poland near the border with Germany,\u00a0Gotech<\/a>\u00a0has been building components and whole installations for power and offshore industries as well as turnkey industrial plants. Since its founding in 1990, the company has completed, among other things, wind farm structures, furnaces, boilers, incineration plants and production plants all around Europe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Following the company vision of continual growth and meeting the ever increasing expectations of their customers, Gotech decided in 2018 to expand its plasma and oxyfuel cutting capabilities and improve the overall production performance. MicroStep\u2019s\u00a0EasyCut\u00a0machine they have in production since 2006 left a good impression so the accomplished builders approached MicroStep again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The machine Gotech originally considered was\u00a0ProfileCut\u00a0\u2013 a dedicated CNC plate and beam cutting center. Due to the required gantry width and other factors, it was decided the\u00a0DRM\u00a0machine type would be the optimum choice. DRM machines possess the sturdiest construction of all MicroStep machines and are therefore are the best choice for heavy duty production facilities.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

And the needs of Gotech were nothing if not heavy duty. Their requirements demanded a pipe cutting channel for cutting of pipes with diameters up to 1 000 mm plus plasma cutting of plates up to 60 mm thick and oxyfuel cutting up to 200 mm as well as drilling on a work area of 12 x 3 m. Side by side, the two cutting zones and a parking zone for the multiple tool stations make for a gantry of considerable width. Combined with the weight of the tools stations and the need to withstand both vibrations from drilling and the heat produced by the cutting, the resulting work conditions are demanding \u2013 exactly what the DRM line has been designed for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The resulting DRM 12001.55BGISPpk is equipped with a\u00a026 kW drill\u00a0capable of drilling up to \u00d840 mm and automatic tool exchange with a linear magazine with 8 positions. A\u00a0straight oxyfuel tool station\u00a0and a\u00a090\u00b0 plasma rotator\u00a0take care of cutting. The rotator, powered by Kjellberg\u2019s HiFocus 360i neo plasma source and with enhanced stroke can reach around large steel beams to make precise cuts. It is aided by a laser scanner that detects the true shape of beams and profiles to account for any deviations from their ideal shapes. This combination also allows Gotech to utilize MicroStep\u2019s patented\u00a0Additional Beveling Process.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Another MicroStep\u2019s patent employed on the machine, the\u00a0ACTG\u00ae, stands for auto-calibration of tool geometry and, as the name implies, makes sure the cutting system compensates for any minor deviation in the plasma rotator\u2019s and the scanner\u2019s kinematic chains and even measures the length of drill bits inserted in the drilling tool station after each exchange. Finally, an\u00a0inkjet marker\u00a0stands ready to draw lines, letters and numbers to help direct each part to its correct place in another of Gotech\u2019s successful projects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With their new machine, Gotech increased its capabilities and production performance, with the ability to cut pipes, 50 mm thick stainless steel, drill and bevel. The company is able to undertake new production projects that were not possible in house before.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
