5-Axis Cutting Robot - Qcut 600 BOT

The Qcut 600 BOT is a fully automatic cutting robot with a maximum of 5 axes for the use of cutting discs with a size of up to 610 mm / 24 inches.

The Qcut 600 BOT cutting robot offers new possibilities with its five axes (X, Y, Z, B, C) and a generously sized machine table (Ø 600 mm), opening up new application opportunities. It features automatic travel (X-axis) and cross-cut (Y-axis) speeds of up to 80 mm/second due to its highly dynamic drives.

The rotary table (B-axis) has a swiveling range of 360° and can be extended with an additional rotary axis (C-axis) with a swiveling range of 360°, providing a combined swiveling range of 200° (B-axis) and 360° (C-axis).

During the chop cut, the cut-off wheel guard moves in parallel to increase the cutting capacity of the cut-off wheel. The large sliding and side door, with a safety lock when the cutting disc moves, ensures optimal access to the large machine table.

The machine body of the Qcut 600 BOT is made of robust steel construction and integrates recirculation cooling and automatic central lubrication. Additionally, it can be equipped with a belt filter unit as an alternative to the recirculating cooling unit.

Features

Intuitive and Easy Operation

The teach-in function facilitates user-friendly programming of cutting positions by approaching individual positions. The multi-position process (MPP) enables simultaneous positioning and automatic start-up of different components on the clamping table, eliminating the need for time-consuming reclamping.

Automatic Cut-Off Wheel Measurement

The dynamic cut-off wheel measurement ensures reproducible cutting results with consistent quality. By automatically monitoring the current cut-off wheel diameter, the cutting parameters are adjusted after each cut. This adjustment ensures that the cutting speed and cutting depth remain constant, maintaining consistent and precise cutting performance.

Cutting Optimization

To optimize cutting quality, the machine automatically detects local material singularities, such as hardened areas, and regulates the feed rate based on the cutting force. Additionally, when starting a new cut, the component is automatically detected and approached at a reduced speed, ensuring a soft start-up control.
