Advanced Robotic Technology's (A.R.T) series of plasma cutting machines delivers power at unprecedented speeds. Plasma cutting technology has the ability to cut Stainless Steel, Mild Steel and Aluminium with high definition precision to a level of accuracy that would satisfy any tradesman.

Whatever your requirements are, A.R.T. can custom build a machine to suit your individual needs. This flexibility gives you the opportunity to choose; •  Software package •  Machine size •  Process area •  Extraction method •  Hypertherm power unit

The machine, featured here, is an example of a standard A.R.T Plasma profile table fitted with a Hypertherm HPR130 unit. This particular machine has a process area of 3750mm x 1900mm with the potential to cut 10mm mild steel at 4m a minute. Capabilities such as these make this machine indispensable in today's manufacturing environment.

Innovation and change are two concepts that keep A.R.T at the top of the ever evolving manufacturing industry. This is made evident through many aspects of the machine such as;

•  Touch Screen
•  Extraction
•  Software
•  Torch Control System
•  Consumables

At the heart of every A.R.T machine is the state of the art touch screen and pendant control system. This unique feature comes as a standard feature making machine operation a breeze. The interactive touch screen provides you with a quick and simple means of entering machine instruction. With the incorporation of an intuitive graphic user interface the touch screen system is both easy to learn and operate.

All plasma SV & SX series machines include a weaved deck and downdraft extraction trough that travels along with the gantry. This configuration allows for a greater level of slag collection and fume extraction to be achieved. This significantly reduces emissions into the work area. Resulting in an efficient base easily connected to any desired filtration system.

Profile Shop is A.R.T's proprietary software. The uncomplicated design of this software was created with the operator in mind to allow for quick and trouble-free use of its advanced features. Just some of these features are;

•  Main Screen •  Modify Screen •  Origin Screen •  Tool Library Screen    Tool (30 amp)    Tool (80 amp)

To maximize consumable life, enhance performance and eliminate torch damage A.R.T has developed an integrated tool control system.

•  Intelligent Torch Height Controller Maintains optimum cutting height via the Arc Voltage Control, resulting in the best possible cutting angle with minimal dross.

•  Initial Height Sensor Pneumatically controlled to set optimum torch starting height. This along with the Intelligent Torch Height Controller increases consumable life.

•  Break-away Torch Protection Mechanism Pauses operations immediately in the event of torch and material collision.

As our machines are produced to such a high standard we feel that having consumables to the same high quality is of utmost importance. It is for this reason that we supply the Hypertherm range of plasma cutting units and consumables. Hyperthem products are manufactured in the United States of America , and are renowned for their high quality.
