Lockformer Vulcan plasma cutting systems are renowed for their unrivaled structural integrity and smoothness of operation. Better quality underneath is reflected in a better quality cut on the surface    of the material.  The  Vulcan 1000  set  the  standard for compact,    cost-effective plasma cutting systems. With the introduction of the enhanced 1000C, the best just got better-and even more productive....

Vulcan 1000C Plasma Cutting Systems 
                      

Strength & Stability
With its fixture welded 75mm x 75mm steel  tubing  framework,  the Vulcan 1000C could  be made  by Formtek  machinery  Beijing.  The superior structural integrity of the frame which is 45% stronger than       any other system at this price point- enables the Vulcan 1000C to achieve unrivaled levels of strength, stability  and  accuracy. We  believe  the heavy-duty construction is essential , without it ,  the highest       levels of job quality and repeatability cannot be achieved.

Power & Precision
At the heart of the Vulcan1000C you'll find a sealed DC servo motor of  the highest quality. No inferior stepper motors here. The  y-axis  DC servo  motor is linked to a  50mm diameter steel shaft that drives  both  sides  of  the  machine simultaneously. Combined with a 3" diameter x 128' long y-axis guidance     rail and a Hiwin linear x-axis bearing  and  way,  the  Vulcan 1000C achieves unsurpassed  levels of   stability,  accuracy and smoothness of operation.  The Vulcan 1000C leverages a Hypertherm plasma torch and Power-MAX1000  power unit. As such, the Vulcan 1000C can achieve traverse speeds of 25.4m/min。All  to  the tightest tolerances with no additional edge preparation. The Vulcan 1000C can  also  be  coil  fed  with  either  a two or four coil system for the highest levels of productivity.

Revolutionary LCD Touch Screen Control
The Vulcan1000C features a 15" LCD touch screen as standard. Now operators can input fittings at      the machine by simply pulling up menus and touching the screen. Alternatively, fittings can  be  sent        to the machine from connected

Enhanced Software & Increased Functionality
The Vulcan 1000C  fearures  the  very lates software for  maximum  efficiency  and reliability.  Each     system  includes  Lockformer's  enhanced  fitting  cutting  software  and   new supernet optimization program as standard. Live on-line customer support via the Internet is also included.

Preview Softwar – Shows an input fitting as a 3-view picture. Each view can be rotated at any angle     to show a full 3-dimensional view of the fitting.

Hole-Cutting Program -- Permits graphic definition of up to eight holes on most rectangular fittings. The holes can be rectangular, round or flat oval, and can be defined at any angle to the horizontal.

Calculation and Cutting of Turning Vanes – Also includes holes for rivets to hold the turning vanes on elbows and T-pieces.

Vulcan Parts Graphic Software – Create and  store  shapes with  a  mouse-driven,  pop-down  menu.  This program can hold 10,000  individual  shapes,  as well as 10,000 sheet  jobs at any one  time. The software includes a Direct Exchange Format (DXF) transfer program for use with CAD systems.

Background Processing – Allows  processing  an  order  or  job  in the background while the operator continues to input data for a new order.

Accessory Takeoff – Automates  the  check  listing  of non-fitting purchased accessory items for each job.

Manual Optimization – Enables  the  operator  to  either  drag or rotate parts on the processed sheet  or move them to da different sheet.

Standard Super Segmenting Program – Splits oversize blanks up to 100 times in each axis.

Standard Manual Segmenting Program – Permits manually controlled segmenting of oversize blanks.
