SQUEEZING THE COST
OUT OF
STRUCTURAL
FABRICATION
The Smart Serpent We use that phrase to describe the ability of PythonX to read
.dstv files from all the major structural steel detailing "CAD" programs and determine the sequence of plasma cuts to be made to the beam, plus the movement of the robotic arm.
Reading .dstv files from Tekla, StruCad, SDS/2 and others is
not unique to PythonX. The CNC beam drill lines of Peddinghaus, Ficep, Ocean Machinery and others do that. It's how their drills determine exactly where to put
the bolt holes.
The difference with PythonX is our "smart serpent" uses the information to determine where
to put EVERY feature – copes, flange flush cuts, text letters for piece marks, notches – EVERY feature.
That way operator involvement
is truly minimized. There's NO measuring, NO chalk drawing features on the beam and NO hand drilling or handheld torch cutting. That saves time, labor cost and eliminates errors.
That's how PythonX gets your
fab shop operations ' lean' and your costs so low that your competitors simply won't know what hit them the next time they have to bid against you on a job and you've got PythonX in your corner. Just better hope they don't have a PythonX in their corner first.
How Does PythonX Perform On The Job? Users Speak Up.
WIth the number of PythonX installations around the world approaching 100, there is clear evidence that advanced robotic plasma cutting technology is revolutionizing structural steel fabrication. PythonX owners are achieving unprecedented productivity improvements, while at the same time improving the quality of the product they supply.
