Answer: These machines can process a wide range of materials including carbon steel, stainless steel, duplex, and alloy steels. The cutting technology—plasma or oxy-fuel—is selected based on thickness and material type.
Answer: HGG machines are engineered for extremely high tolerances, with dimensional accuracy of ±1 mm or better, and consistent repeatability even on complex multi-axis bevels.
Answer: Yes. Machine capacities vary, but many models are designed to handle profiles over 12 meters (40 ft) in length, with optional infeed/outfeed extensions available.
Answer: With advanced software and intuitive touch-panel interfaces, operators can run complex cutting programs with minimal training. Many systems feature automatic calibration, scanning, and error correction.
Answer: Plasma is preferred for thinner materials and higher precision, while oxy-fuel excels in cutting very thick walls (up to 150 mm). Machine Matcher provides full consultation based on your specific use case.
Answer: Yes. HGG offers hybrid machines that support round, square, and I-beam profiles. These are ideal for facilities working on diverse structural projects.
Answer: Initial installation and calibration typically takes 1–2 weeks, depending on the machine model. Software integration and operator training are included in the package offered through Machine Matcher.
Answer: Maintenance involves regular calibration, cleaning of cutting torches, and software updates. HGG systems are built for durability, and most models have built-in diagnostics to prevent downtime.
