New automatic marking machine is a standalone unit

Peddinghaus has launched the PeddiWriter, a standalone layout machine able to produce all layout on a structural steel section in a single pass.

The company said the PeddiWriter features state-of-the-art roller probe surface detection, which allocates a proper standoff distance between the material and the plasma torch during a marking programme.

Equipped with the Peddinghaus roller measurement technology, the PeddiWriter guides material through the machine with a powerful drive roller mechanism. A precision encoder tracks the travel of material. This proven method of measurement is said to allow benefits such as streamlined handling, and modular shop layout options.
