The Vectis Cobot Cutting Tool empowers fabricators to make complex cuts on high-mix 3D parts tube for a fraction of the cost of a tube laser and a major productivity boost relative to manual layout cut. We've taken the same extreme ease-of-use and flexibility the industry has come to know on our Cobot Welding Tool and applied that to the plasma cutting process. Powered by a Universal Robots collaborative robot and a Hypertherm plasma cutter, the Vectis Cobot Cutting Tool is portable, safe, versatile, and extremely easy-to-use. Our DIY install, setup, and Let’s Cut Together™ intuitive programming interface save you valuable time and money, as there’s no need to fly to our facility for training nor pay a tech to come on-site. The system is fully integrated onto a mobile cart so you can bring the cobot to the work, or the work to the cobot – whatever is best for your shop’s flow; while our 30-day return policy, rent-to-own program, and fast lead times provide you with peace-of-mind Let’s start the conversation about automating your cutting. We always begin by taking an in-depth look at your application(s) to make sure they are a good fit for automation.
The Vectis Cobot Cutting Tool is a fully integrated ready-to-cut system. The entire system is packaged on a portable modular fixturing cart, with the UR cobot mounted and electrically isolated to the tabletop surface.
The robust Hypertherm Duramax torch is mounted to the robot flange along with a pushbutton that allows you to easily enable Freedrive mode. The plasma cutter and UR cabinet are safely housed underneath the tabletop surface. The system has a controls interface between the UR cabinet and the cutting equipment to control current, kerf compensation, pierce parameters, bevel parameters, and supervisory signals.
Vectis' URCap developed in-house allows non-programmers to quickly and easily program sever cuts, bevels, shapes, and compound shapes with a simple programming interface. The URCap also incorporates usability and robustness features such as arc supervision, error handling, cut library management, and TCP calculation - with more easy-to-use features continually being developed.
