Automated 6-Axis Structural Steel Robotic Beam Cutting Machine
The Beamcut System 3D Robotic Profile Cutting Machine cuts any shape from mild steel, stainless steel, and aluminum with high repeatability and accuracy. It eliminates costly layouts and grinding, simplifies fabrication, minimizes errors, and boosts production speeds.

Machitech will feature its recently updated Beamcut BC25 at Fabtech Orlando in Booth# S11059. The BC25 is a user-friendly, versatile, robotic 3D CNC cell and platform for cutting metal parts and profiles from mild steel, stainless steel, and aluminum for virtually any structural steel shape. With high-definition Hypertherm plasma technology and Fanuc robotics, the Beamcut BC25 is a totally automated 6-axis beam cutting system that provides maximum optimization of the manufacturing process, improving overall repeatability and accuracy while eliminating bothersome layout work before cutting, and time-consuming and costly grinding after profiles are cut.
Along with the Beamcut BC25, Machitech will showcase a wide range of its equipment at Fabtech, including the Diamond Cut plasma table with the new Hypertherm XPR460 plasma, their Silver Cut plasma table with pipe cutting attachment, and an Electric Press Brake.
Along with an automated in-feed and out-feed system on a smaller footprint, the BC25 has unique features, including a Photo-Laser Measuring Device that allows split-second profiling and positioning to guarantee a precise cut. There is an advanced Windows-based Operator Control System that is easy-to-use and does not require special operator training. Proprietary Beamcut Soft software utilizes DSTV files from 3D profiling software and 2D DXF AutoCAD files. Once files are imported, Beamcut Soft automatically simulates the cutting sequence. An automatic cutting trajectory is created and verified on the drafting computer instead of the machine. The BC25 incorporates a safety enclosure and smoke trap that delimits the space required for robotic cutting and the circulation area around the system. A safety cabinet complies with OSHA safety standards. An optional dust collector is available to remove smoke and dust particles.
Machitech has over 20 years of experience and over 2,000 machines installed worldwide. Solutions offered include CNC plasma cutting systems, fiber laser cutting systems, light industrial CNC plasma cutting tables, heavy-duty industrial CNC routers, pipe cutting systems, robotic beam cutting systems and press brakes.
