Revolutionizing Structural Steel Processing
Steve Wilkins, Director at Solution Steel, explained, “We needed a robotic coping plasma to suit our structural steel processing.” After researching available options, HGG’s RPC 1200 Mk3 emerged as the perfect match.
With the RPC, Solution Steel revolutionized their fabrication processes, achieving remarkable efficiency gains. “It makes the process simpler and quick by approximately 100%,” said Steve. The RPC’s ability to process structural steel three to five times faster than traditional methods transformed production timelines and enabled Solution Steel to process external materials, boosting turnover significantly.
Seamless Integration and User-Friendly Software
The inclusion of HGG’s ProCAM Software streamlined the transition, allowing seamless integration of NC files and minimizing operator learning curves. Luke Everette, operator of the RPC at Solution Steel noted, “ProCAM is definitely user-friendly. It’s simple to upload files, and it’s given me no trouble.”
By investing in HGG’s RPC 1200 Mk3, Solution Steel not only gained full control over their lead times and cutting quality but also realized a rapid return on investment. “It was a good investment, and we’re still seeing a return every day,” concluded Steve.
The RPC has become an integral part of their operations, positioning Solution Steel as a leader in efficient steel fabrication.
“The RPC gave us the opportunity to control our supplies, lead time, and cutting quality. It was a good investment, and we’re still seeing a return every day of the week.”
