Using high-speed robotic arms and a proprietary 3D Vision System, these machines scan the actual beam in front of them. They detect every twist and bow, then automatically adjust the cutting path in real-time. You get a perfect fit-up every time, straight off the machine.
Key Technical Specifications:
Robot Type: FANUC high-precision 6-axis or 7-axis industrial robots.
Vision System: Non-contact 3D Laser Scanning (measures actual beam dimensions).
Plasma Source: Hypertherm XPR or HPR high-definition systems.
Capabilities: Copes, holes, slots, notches, weld-preps, scribing, and part marking.
Software: Direct Tekla/DSTV integration (no manual programming required).
Faces: Full 4-face processing, including the ability to process HSS in a single pass.
Top 5 "Prodevco" Advantages:
3D Vision Compensation: The robot "sees" the twist in your steel and compensates. This eliminates the #1 cause of poor fit-ups in structural steel.
All-in-One Processing: One machine replaces your saw, drill line, and layout bench. It marks, cuts, and preps in one station.
4-Face HSS Processing: Unlike many competitors, Prodevco can process all four sides of a square or rectangular tube in a single operation, maximising your throughput.
Zero-Contact Measuring: By using lasers instead of mechanical probes, the machine is faster, and there are no moving parts to wear out or get damaged by heavy beams.
Unmatched Software Intelligence: The system reads your detailing files and prepares trajectories automatically. Your operator simply loads the beam and hits "Go."
Prodevco PCR31: The "Plate & Beam Specialist"
The Buyer: Versatile shops that need to process both structural profiles and standard plates on the same machine.
The Pitch: The PCR31 is the ultimate multi-tasker. It offers beam coping while also being able to process plates up to 60 inches wide with full beveling capability.
Why buy? You want one machine that can handle your beams and your base plates, saving you the floor space of a second plasma table.
Prodevco PCR41: The "Compact All-Rounder"
The Buyer: Small-to-mid-sized fabricators who need high-definition robotic power but have limited floor space or budget.
The Pitch: The PCR41 is the most cost-effective, space-saving entry into robotic coping. It delivers 4-face processing for beams up to 30", providing premium speed and precision in a compact footprint.
Why buy? You need high-speed automation, but don't have the room for a massive industrial cell.
Prodevco PCR42: The "High-Output Flagship"
The Buyer: Large-scale structural fabricators, bridge builders, and shipyards handling the heaviest industrial sections.
The Pitch: This is the pinnacle of coping technology. With 7-axis precision and the ability to process beams up to 48", the PCR42 is built for maximum tonnage and 24/7 duty cycles. It even offers an option for round tube and pipe cutting (up to 26").
Why buy? You are processing the largest profiles in the industry and require the fastest cycle times and most advanced automation available today.
