CAD linked gas cutter for A&P

The machine features a three-nozzle head, marking facility, off-line programming and pre-programmed profiles. Steel ranging from 5-75mm thick can be cut, and plates can be cut and bevelled in one pass. The marking facility allows part numbers to be marked on the cut parts, and for positions to be marked where follow-on operations are required.

A&P Southampton has recently carried out a project to remove two generator sets and replace them with three more, each weighing over 40t, on board the P&O Nedlloyd container ship

Pegasus Bay

. The company used the Hancoportal machine for the fabrication of replacement bulkheads and other steelworks as part of this project.
