 Large-dimension cutting

Opens the way to all oxycutting and plasma arc cutting

works that call for the use of machines capable of cutting very
wide plates and implementing more complex options.
2003-338

The SAF range 2000-080

is completed by a range
of machines capable
of cutting large
dimensions.
These machines are designed
according to a machine-tool
concept in terms of precision and
repetitivity and meet current
standards.
Designed to adapt to the client's
applications and needs, they can
cut widths of more than 10 m
and implement different options
such as variable oxycutting
or plasma arc bevelling,
mechanical drilling, plus a whole
range of options suited to widely
varying applications.
This range is built around 2 main
machines: X-TOME and
CYBERTOME.
The X-TOME machine is the
2003-342

wide-dimension member of the

OXYTOME/PLASMATOME family.
The CYBERTOME machine differs These machines implement the entire spectrum of OXYTOME/PLASMATOME
from X-TOME by the dimensions of technologies such as single and multi-blowtorch oxycutting options,

wide applications. performance of these large machines, we can also propose options adapted
to the work required, such as:
• a complete range of plasma and oxycutting bevelling units
• mechanical drilling heads,
• flame control devices for oxycutting,

18 • ink jet marking systems, etc.

X-TOME

A dual-motorization machine that complements the OXYTOME

range. Its structure is adapted to allow cutting widths
2003-438
of up to 7 m (depending on equipment version).

The X-TOME (E) range of machines

????-???
These machines are designed according to a machine-tool concept. Two motorized
travel frames supporting a high-inertia beam, equipped (like the OXYTOME E range)
with a brushless motor driven by numerical VSDs, guarantee dynamic operation and
quality movements that allow oxycutting of thick plates at low speeds and plasma
arc cutting at high speeds.
The equipment of these machines, based mainly on standard OXTOME/OXYTOME E
range components, can be adapted to suit the client's need.
The basic X-TOME range can take up to 8 blowtorch-holders
(up to 10 possible on option).
X-TOME machines include fittings allowing any of the following optional bevelling
units to be added (maximum 1 per machine):
• 1.8-turn oxycutting bevelling unit
• Unidirectional plasma bevelling unit
• Variable plasma bevelling unit.

Flame control
Machines in the X-TOME and CYBERTOME ranges are specifically designed
to accommodate an optional automatic flame control system.
This system ensures that all blowtorches start simultaneously and prevents
flameless gas discharges from the blowtorches, thus guaranteeing completely
safe machine operation with no need for an operator at the control panel.
1987-002

Numerical controllers
2003-438

Depending on the application, X-TOME and CYBERTOME

machines will be equipped with DIGISAF 2.5+, 100, 510
or 610 numerical controllers or HPC DIGITAL PROCESS
