McLease is proud to present the PANTHER PRO, a state-of-the-art CNC Metal Plate Profile Cutting Machine, meticulously manufactured by Technocrats Plasma Systems Ltd., Mumbai, an industry pioneer with over 35 years of expertise. This robust gantry-type system comes standard with both Plasma and Oxy-Fuel torches, offering unparalleled versatility and efficiency for precision metal cutting. Powered by our reliable HyCut Plasma Power Source, the PANTHER PRO is engineered to deliver high-quality, precise cuts across a wide spectrum of metal types and thicknesses, meeting the demands of modern fabrication.
This proposal details the cutting-edge technology behind the PANTHER PRO, emphasizing its precise motion control, intelligent torch features, and a comprehensive suite of benefits from McLease: flexible financing solutions (including lease with buyback, zero advance options), an industry-leading 15-year service and spares assurance, AI-powered remote maintenance (RAMC), and seamless online support, including hassle-free purchasing of spares, consumables, and accessories on credit/flexible terms. Invest in enhanced productivity, unwavering reliability, and financial peace of mind with McLease PANTHER PRO.
A CNC (Computer Numerical Control) Metal Plate Profile Cutting Machine is an automated system that uses a computer to precisely control the movement of a cutting torch or laser head. Instead of manual guiding, you program the desired shape or "profile" into the computer, and the machine cuts it automatically and accurately from a metal plate.
The PANTHER PRO is configured for high-performance and reliable operation, designed for efficient and precise cutting of metal plates.
2.1. Core Machine Components:
Robust Gantry-Type Structure: A sturdy overhead structure that moves along the length of the cutting bed, carrying the cutting torches. Designed for high stability and vibration damping.
Integrated Plasma & Oxy-Fuel Torches: Comes standard with two dedicated torches:
Plasma Torch: For faster cutting of medium to thick metals.
Oxy-Fuel Torch: For cutting very thick mild steel, offering cost-effectiveness.
HyCut Plasma Power Source: Our reliable, high-performance Plasma power source (available in 125A, 200A, 300A options) ensures stable arc and superior cut quality.
Intelligent CNC Control System: The "brain" of the machine that translates digital designs into precise torch movements.
Precision Motion System: High-performance AC Servo Motors, linear guide rails, and gear racks & pinions ensure smooth, accurate motion.
Cutting Bed: An integral part of the machine, where you place your metal sheets. It includes a robust frame and often a water table or downdraft system for fume and slag management.
2.2. Axes of Motion & Bevel Cutting:
Standard (3-Axis) Motion (for Straight Cuts - Entry Range): The machine operates with 3 primary axes for cutting shapes perpendicular to the plate surface:
X-axis: Longitudinal movement of the gantry.
Y-axis: Transverse movement of the cutting torch(es) across the gantry.
Z-axis: Vertical (up-down) movement of the torch for piercing and maintaining correct cutting height.
Advanced (4-Axis) Motion for Bevel Cutting (Mid Range - Includes Bevel as Standard): This configuration adds a rotary axis to the cutting torch, allowing it to tilt for angled cuts.
4th Axis: Typically a rotary axis (e.g., an "A" axis) that allows the torch to tilt to create bevels.
What it does: Enables cutting angled edges (bevels/chamfers) on the metal plate, essential for weld joint preparation.
Premium (5-Axis) Motion for Complex Beveling (Premium Range - Includes Bevel & Complimentary Powder Marking): This top-tier configuration adds even more dexterity to the torch.
5th Axis: Typically another rotary axis (e.g., a "B" axis) that allows the torch to rotate or tilt in a second plane, providing full 360-degree beveling capability for complex joint geometries.
What it does: Allows cutting of highly intricate bevels and weld preparations from multiple directions without repositioning the plate.
2.3. Intelligent Torch Control Features:
Initial Height Sensing (IHS): Automatically senses the plate surface before cutting to determine the correct starting height for the torch.
Arc Voltage Torch Height Control (THC - for Plasma): Continuously monitors the arc voltage during plasma cutting and adjusts the Z-axis (torch height) in real-time to maintain a consistent arc length, ensuring uniform cut quality even on uneven plates.
Capacitive Auto Height Control (for Oxy-Fuel): Uses a sensor to maintain a precise distance between the oxy-fuel torch and the plate surface, crucial for consistent cut quality.
Auto Igniter (for Oxy-Fuel): Automatically ignites the oxy-fuel torch flame, enhancing safety and convenience.
2.4. Cutting Capabilities: Profiles, Metals & Thickness Ranges: The PANTHER PRO can cut any complex 2D profile programmed into its system.
Metals: Primarily Mild Steel (MS), Carbon Steel, Stainless Steel (SS), Aluminum, and Galvanized Plates.
Thickness Ranges (with standard 2 torches):
Plasma Cutting (using HyCut Plasma Source): Excellent for faster cutting of medium to thick metals with good edge quality.
Piercing Capacity: Up to 25-30 mm (Mild Steel).
Edge Cutting Capacity: Up to 35-40 mm (Mild Steel).
Oxy-Fuel Cutting: The most economical method for very thick Mild Steel.
Cutting Capacity: From 5 mm up to 150 mm+ (Mild Steel).
Powder Marking (Complimentary with Premium Range, Optional for others): The machine can also be equipped with a powder marking system (separate attachment) for marking lines, part numbers, or text on the metal surface prior to cutting.
2.5. How the Machine Defines Its Path & Cuts:
Design & Input: You design your parts using CAD software (e.g., DXF, DWG files) and input them into the system. Interfaces include Ethernet (for high-speed data), USB ports (for program transfer via pen drive), and some systems may offer Bluetooth for wireless connectivity.
Nesting: Specialized nesting software (like McLease NESTPRO, available from us) intelligently arranges your parts on a digital sheet of metal to minimize waste.
G-code Generation: The nesting software then converts this layout into machine-readable instructions called G-code, which tells the machine exactly where to move, when to pierce, and when to cut.
Motion Execution: The CNC Controller Unit (the "brain") interprets the G-code and sends precise commands to high-performance AC Servo Motors and drives. These motors move the gantry and torch(es) along precision linear guides and gear racks & pinions, following the exact programmed path.
Cutting: As the torch moves, the Plasma arc or Oxy-Fuel flame cuts through the metal, defining the profile. Torch Height Control systems continuously adjust the vertical position for perfect cut quality.
2.6. Nesting Software & Material Savings: Best nesting software (like McLease NESTPRO) can dramatically save material:
Minimum Distance: Plasma and Oxy-Fuel typically need to keep a minimum distance (kerf width + safety margin) between parts to avoid heat distortion and ensure good cut quality. This is larger than for laser.
Laser Offset vs. Plasma/Oxy-Fuel: Laser cutting has a much finer beam and smaller kerf, allowing parts to be nested much closer, often enabling common line cutting (where parts share an edge), which further reduces material consumption and cutting time. While Plasma/Oxy-Fuel can do common line, the larger kerf makes it less efficient for very tight nests. This is where laser holds an edge in minimizing metal loss.
The McLease PANTHER PRO offers profound operational advantages:
Unmatched Versatility: Standard Plasma and Oxy-Fuel torches handle a vast range of metal thicknesses and types. Optional 4-axis or 5-axis motion enables advanced bevel cutting.
Superior Quality & Accuracy: CNC control, precise motion, and intelligent torch features ensure consistent, high-quality cuts.
Increased Productivity: High cutting speeds and automated processes reduce production time.
Reduced Rework & Material Waste: Precise cuts minimize errors, and optional advanced nesting maximizes material utilization.
Cost-Effective Thick Cutting: Oxy-Fuel provides the most economical solution for very thick mild steel.
Optional Beveling: Reduces/eliminates secondary machining for weld preparation.
Enhanced Safety: Automated operations reduce operator exposure to hazards.
Understanding the economics helps you choose the right tool for the right job:
