More efficient, more flexible and more competitive
The old machine no longer met the high standards that HYE sets for its products. After cutting, too much post-processing was required to achieve a beautifully finished product: deburring, chamfering, drilling and slotting holes… Too much time was lost.
‘By investing in a new machine ourselves, we want to become more efficient, flexible and competitive. We should have done this three years ago,’ laughs Sebastián Bossuyt, steel construction manager.
Significant catch-up
The final choice was a MicroStep plasma cutting machine with a 12 x 2.5 metre table and a Hypertherm XPR300 plasma cutting source with automatic gas console. The machine was equipped with an oxy-fuel torch carriage, a continuously rotating plasma rotator for bevel cutting and a drilling unit with a tool changer.
‘Every technology we have added contributes to the finish of the pieces. Not only do we save time because we no longer have to do manual work, but the quality of our work has also improved. With this powerhouse, we are making a significant catch-up and have everything we need to take on larger projects,’ says Bossuyt.
Practising together
‘Wouters Cutting & Welding is a partner that really thinks along with you and helps you organise your production more efficiently. What’s more, they always honour their agreements. And the service? We already know from the previous machine that it’s excellent.’
