Messer Element 400

ELEMENT 400 ELM 446-23-73165m (16.4’) beam on a 4.6m (15.1’) rail gauge for processing 10’ plate.

• Brushless AC servodrives,and planetary gearboxes provide swift acceleration andpositioning speedsof up to 2755IPMas a combinedaxis movement.
• Theprecision-machinedsteel crossbeamhas 8.25″ofseparationbetween the linear guide ways. The ridgedconstruction and wide separationyieldmaximum stability of the cross-carriage drive assembly.
• Integrated heat shielding protects the gantry from the thermal cutting processes.
• Size 25 precision linear rails guide the Y-axis at high speeds with exceptional accuracy, a long service life, and easy maintenance.
• Carriage centres can be as close as 6″, depending upon the equipment fitted.
• A maximum of two (2) plasma systems and four(4)additional torch stations can be implemented, giving a maximumof six (6) tool stations.
• High-endservo drives with EtherCAT communication provide seamless integration with the PC-based control. Drive parameters are loaded at each power cycle to eliminate the need for programming on-site.
• High-inertia servomotors fitted with absolute encoders for precise positioning.
• Topqualityplanetary gearboxes with “near zero” backlash in both the X and Y-axis provide repeatable and consistent tool path motion.
• Precisionmachinedhelical racks and pinions are used in the X and Y-axis to efficiently transfer the motor torque into effortless, smooth movement of the gantry and cross carriages.
• Up to three tool stations can be independently driven. This results in fast, highly accurate programmable positioning with flexible processing options.
