Plasma Cutting
Peddinghaus HSFDB-C
High Speed Plate Processor (Plasma, Drill Oxy-Fuel Table) Hypertherm XPR 300 & 460
The HSFDB-C is Peddinghaus's heavy plate processor, feeding plate through a fixed operating area rather than moving a gantry over a burn table. A 48 HP (36 kW) Siemens spindle running up to 2250 RPM with a 12-station rotary tool changer performs high-speed carbide drilling from 1/4 to 3 inch diameter, plus milling, tapping, countersinking and deburring. Thermal cutting is available as Hypertherm XPR 300 or HPR 400 plasma and oxy-fuel, with one beveling assembly serving both torches; oxy-fuel handles plate up to 4 inches thick and 10 feet wide. A SignoMat 36-character unit stamps parts, and Roller Feed measurement with 12 tons of clamping keeps material located. Peddinghaus quotes about 1 ton per hour under 1 inch and 2 tons per hour above. Side or front-end unloaders, a Siemens control and SDS nesting software are offered.
