Case Study: a construction machinery manufacturer triples beveling efficiency with Hypertherm MAXPRO200

Construction machinery manufacturer decreases robotic plasma beveling costs by 400% with the MAXPRO200®

A construction machinery manufacturer in Shanghai faced challenges with its inefficient robotic oxyfuel beveling process. The method could not keep up with high production demand, generated excessive operating costs due to required secondary grinding, and posed significant safety concerns. Hypertherm was engaged to provide a solution.

Hypertherm implemented its MAXPRO200 plasma beveling system to replace the oxyfuel process. This solution more than tripled cutting efficiency and delivered a return on investment within one year. The manufacturer decreased its overall beveling costs by 400%, while the superior cut quality reduced subsequent grinding, improving both worker productivity and safety.
