Air/mist or liquid drill coolant Optional Features CNC bevel plasma head for weld preparations Multiple oxy-fuel torches Optional tool monitoring Down draft or water tables Plate marking and layout scribing with patent pending technology Pin marking for low stress applications Marking with plasma Maximum plate widths of 8 (2,540 mm), 10 (3,100 mm) and 11 9 (3,600 mm) Chip vacuum evacuation systems Magnetic table for stand-alone milling operations 2

3 The complete plate working solution for fabricators and manufacturers of all sizes. The Gemini handles from light to heavy plate for thermal cutting, marking, milling, drilling, tapping, beveling and more all on one system with unprecedented accuracy. This achieves the lowest cost due to its minimal floor space, low capital investment and productivity.

4 Nesting report CUTTING The Gemini s mobile gantry design allows for a greater range of plate sizes and thicknesses without concern for the plate weight and material handling due to the simultaneous processing and loading/unloading. Supplied with plasma and optional oxy-fuel torches, the Gemini can cut plates from 3/16 (4 mm) to 4 (100 mm) in steel and from 3/16 (4 mm) to 1-1/2 (40 mm) in stainless, brass and aluminum. Machine positioning accuracy of.004 (.1 mm) ensures quality parts for better fit up and less welding time. For heavy plate work, the Gemini can be supplied with up to three oxy-fuel torches for accurate stripping or multiple part cutting The Gemini can be equipped with different optional Hypertherm plasma torches and with the WinNEST software package to maximize material utilization with efficient part nesting. Fanuc CNC hardware is provided with a human interface using Ficep Minosse software. MARKING AND SCRIBING The Gemini can be furnished with a wide variety of marking devices depending on your needs. Fabrication and bending lines can be indicated with a scribing tool or plasma marking. Identification marks and part numbers for fabrication can be added with the scribing tool, plasma marker or a pin marker. Deeper marking suitable for viewing after painting or galvanizing can be performed with scribing. Center locations for the positioning and welding of parts with reference points are produced with our patent pending scribing tool. 4

6 Exhaust system for the plasma and/or oxy-fuel torches Edge Bevelling The Gemini can make weld preps either by milling or plasma beveling. For precision bevels, milling is more accurate and J groove bevels can also be achieved. For variable bevels, large parts and K preps, plasma beveling is the most economical process. For enhanced efficiency in welding, J preps and thickness reduction can be performed with milling tools. FACE AND SLOT MILLING On machine parts and many structural detail items, slotted holes, milled bearing mating surfaces, etc. are required. Traditionally these operations were performed on large machining centers or boring machines after fabrication. The accuracy of the Gemini in both cutting and machining means that many of these operations can be performed on the stock plate, thus eliminating the expense, handling cost, floor space and lead-time of secondary operations. For fabrication the milling of weld prep surfaces can drastically reduce welding costs. 6

9 Drilling and Tapping About 60% of plate components or parts contain drilled holes. The Gemini s high speed machining spindle allows extremely productive drilling of holes from 1/8 (3 mm) to 1-1/4 (32 mm). For larger holes up to 9-3/8 (240 mm), the Gemini can mill holes with exceptional accuracy (<0.004 (.1 mm) tolerance on diameter and concentricity). The high speed spindle positioning (sub X and Y axis) combined with wide area clamping provides very high productivity for the most common hole sizes (18 15/16 (22 mm) diameter holes per minute on 4 (100 mm) centers). The precision of the Gemini provides unprecedented accuracy of both hole to hole and hole to edge locations. For many applications, tapped holes in the components can reduce welding, fitting and assembly time. For tapping, the digital control system provides high quality threads on tapped holes as small as 1/8 (3 mm) for cable clips, etc. and up to 15/16 (22 mm) for structural bolts.

10 HARDWARE and SOFTWARE MINOSSE CONTROL UNIT The new generation CNC system, with controlled axes, is based on an open CNC technology. This open CNC technology represents the ideal combination between a CNC and PC thanks to a high speed communication for data transfer. The connection between the CNC and the high speed bus drivers is performed by fiber optics. All the input and output cards are connected to the CNC by the I/O Link bus and are located on the main panel. The operator interface is integrated in the PC and lets the operator have the optimum system overview, thanks to the Touch Screen Technology and a keyboard for the operator. WINDOWS XP Embedded operating system Tele-service Software The connection is possible: - Via 10/100 RJ45 Ethernet port - Via additional USB port Programming Simplified data input with tables and piece part on-screen graphics Absolute and incremental programming All the indications are clearly displayed on the screen: Current program indication, with a clear description of the active program. CNC inside and outside alarms Registration of the date and time of the last 100 alarm messages Diagnostic messages to the operator Processing Automatic tool assignment Unit offset sum Execution Automatic cycle stop for setup modification, and on-screen indication of the tools to be replaced.
