About True Bevel technology
Bevel cutting is a complex process that typically requires trial and error, forcing machine operators to make multiple test cuts to determine the correct bevel angles for each new part. This costs precious time and money. True Bevel technology for mild steel provides factory-tested parameters, making it quick and easy to set up new jobs. With True Bevel, you can achieve accurate bevel parts and consistent results in significantly less time.
Key business benefits
-
Improves the beveling process
Automatically applies improved bevel angle and cut sequence, increasing accuracy and quality consistency -
Saves time and money
Setup time and scrap material are significantly reduced due to lessened operator trial and error
Field testing with True Bevel
Without True Bevel
Parts took over one hour to complete using existing iterations and required one or more additional iterations to obtain an acceptable part.
With True Bevel
True Bevel achieved a production-ready,
acceptable part on the first iteration.
CAM software or CNC automatically applies True Bevel technology
Predetermined bevel angles, equations, and recommended sequences are applied to the job based on amperage and material thickness.
Cut styles include:
- A-cut
- V-cut
- X-cut
- K-cut
- Y-top
