The NewPrime Series is a heavy-duty robotic processing centre designed for 3D structural steel fabrication. By integrating a high-torque drilling spindle with a 6-axis robotic thermal cutting head, it handles the most complex tasks, from simple bolt holes to intricate "rat-hole" copes and multi-sided weld preps, with surgical precision. This is the machine that allows you to bid on the most complex infrastructure projects with total confidence.
Key Technical Specifications:
Process: Combined CNC Drilling & 6-Axis Robotic Plasma/Oxy Coping.
Drilling Unit: High-speed spindle optimised for Carbide Tooling (Drill, Tap, Mill).
Coping Unit: Multi-axis robotic arm for 360-degree thermal cutting and beveling.
Marking: 4-side layout, scribing, and part ID marking included.
Accuracy: Laser-calibrated part detection for ± 0.5mm tolerances.
Software: Seamless Tekla / DSTV / CAD integration for automated pathing.
Capacity: Models available for profiles up to 1250mm x 600mm.
Top 5 "NewPrime" Advantages:
Eliminate Post-Process Grinding: The robotic coping head produces clean, "ready-to-weld" cuts and bevels. You move straight from the machine to the welding jig, skipping the grinding bay entirely.
High-Speed Carbide Drilling: While the robot handles the complex shapes, the high-torque spindle smashes through hole patterns at speeds manual robots can't match.
Complex Geometry Master: Want to cut "dog-bones," web openings, or complex mitred connections? The 6-axis head handles 3D geometries that are impossible for standard beamlines.
Automatic Tool & Torch Management: The system switches between drilling, milling, and cutting tasks autonomously, allowing for "lights-out" processing of complex members.
Dramatic ROI via Labour Reduction: One operator and one NewPrime can replace a crew of six across various manual cutting and drilling stations.
