How much does the Machitech Platinum Cut cost?

Price estimate

Uncertain

We do not have a price for the Machitech Platinum Cut that we can stand behind, so we show no number. Configuration, options and installation move the final price a long way: a quote is the reliable figure.

Overview

The Machitech Platinum Cut is the large bridge and rails machine in the range, built in sizes from 8 x 20 ft to 30 x 300 ft and configured almost entirely by its option list. It is a multi-process platform more than a plasma table: plasma, oxyfuel, drilling, marking and pipe cutting can share one gantry, or two.

Plate capacity doubles against the smaller tables, to 8 in (200 mm), with 12 in (300 mm) of Z-axis clearance. Plasma alone does not sever plate that thick in production, and this is where the oxyfuel option earns its place; the table allows up to 8x oxyfuel torches. Up to four plasma torches with 5-axis bevel can be mounted. A second gantry is optional, so two crews can work one long bed.

The gantry is a 12" x 12" steel section, fully covered, on floor-mounted inverted linear rails that are themselves covered. Linear rails are used on all axes with 35mm rack and pinion. Rapid traverse is 800 ipm (20,320 mm/min), slower than the smaller machines, which is the cost of moving a heavy bridge. Positional accuracy is 0.003 in (0.07 mm) and repeatability 0.001 in (0.03 mm).

Drilling is a 20HP head for holes up to 2 in, with an optional tool changer of 6 CAT40 stations. That is a lighter spindle than the one on the Titanium Cut, which is the model to choose when machining is a main process and not an addition. The Cut N' Clean slag removal system is optional. As with the Gold Cut, the bed can be supplied by Machitech or built by the customer from drawings, and existing material supports can be kept. Plasma sources are the Hypertherm XPR170, XPR300 and XPR460.

Strengths & Limitations

Strengths

Sizes from 8 x 20 ft to 30 x 300 ft with customizable rail lengths
Plate up to 8 in (200 mm) with 12 in (300 mm) of Z-axis clearance
Optional second gantry, up to 8x oxyfuel torches and up to four plasma torches with 5-axis bevel
Optional 20HP drilling up to 2 in with a 6-station CAT40 tool changer
Floor-mounted inverted linear rails, completely covered

Limitations

Rapid traverse is 800 ipm (20,320 mm/min)
Material support is itself listed as an option
Nearly every process beyond single-torch plasma is an option, so the base machine says little about the final one
Drilling stops at 2 in; heavier machining needs the Titanium Cut

Best For

Service centres and heavy fabricators cutting long or wide plate Thick plate up to 8 in (200 mm) with multiple oxyfuel torches Multi-process work: plasma, oxyfuel, drilling and marking on one gantry Long beds worked by two gantries

Frequently Asked Questions

01 How large can the Platinum Cut be built?

The model range runs from 8 x 20 ft to 30 x 300 ft. Gantry spans are modular and rail lengths customizable. The bed can be supplied by Machitech, built by the customer from the supplied drawings, or an existing material support can be used.

02 What plate thickness does it handle?

The table gives a maximum plate thickness of 8 in (200 mm) and a Z-axis clearance of 12 in (300 mm). Workpiece weight is rated at 325 lbs/sq. ft. Oxyfuel cutting is optional with up to 8x torches.

03 Does the Platinum Cut drill?

Optionally. The drilling option is a 20HP head for holes up to 2 in, and a tool changer with 6 CAT40 stations is a further option. The feature text adds that it taps up to 1″ and has a fully enclosed guard.

04 How does it differ from the Titanium Cut?

Both share the same size range, plasma sources, speeds and accuracy figures in the spec tables. The Titanium Cut is built around a 50HP drilling, milling and tapping station with a 16-station CAT50 tool changer. On the Platinum Cut drilling is a 20HP option.
