July 20, 2021 - HGG’s new RPC 1200 Mk3 is the first beam coping machine with the capability to profile structural beams, angle bars, channels, square tubes, plates, T-bars, and bulbs; and a versatile new capability to cut and profile pipes too. The RPC 1200 Mk3 provides fabricators an “all-in-one” 3D plasma-cutting robotic solution. Technological new feature innovations dramatically improve accuracy, quality, and overall productivity.

The RPC 1200 Mk3 features HGG’s unique laser beam measurement vision system, automatically scanning profiles for common imperfections, including flanges that are not always perfectly straight and bodies that are off-center and/or twisted, resulting in superior accuracy and perfect hole technology.

The RPC 1200 Mk3 combines HGG’s unique electronic measuring devices that compare the actual outside shape and position dimensions of the raw material to the cutting program, automatically compensating for any deviation on-the-fly without interrupting material preparation or profile cutting time. Along with providing better quality profiles and faster cutting, overall productivity is improved because layout time is eliminated and less grinding is required after parts are cut, saving users up to 20% in part fit-up.

The RPC 1200 Mk3 adds enough components to provide a complete fabrication shop in one machine. That includes dedicated HGG software for programming and work preparation, an in-feed roller conveyor and out-feed roller conveyor for smooth and efficient material handling, a cutting and marking cell with integrated downdraft table, a robotic plasma profile cutter for precision cutting and to provide the freedom to cut without limitations, a touch-screen operator interface with built-in macro shapes, and a laser vision system with electronic measuring devices.

HGG is a leading supplier of pipe cutting machines, robotic profile cutting lines and associated cutting equipment solutions around the world. HGG maintains subsidiaries in the Philippines, China, India, the Middle East, and the United States.

HGG Profiling Equipment, the HGG subsidiary located in Houston, Texas, provides comprehensive sales and service support for North America, Central America, and South America serving an array of industry customers in Steel Construction, Piping Process Industries, Offshore/Onshore, Crane Building, Shipbuilding, and others.
