FABTECH - Praxair to Unveil New Robotic Cutting System at FABTECH 2015
FABTECH show in Chicago, November 9-12
DANBURY, Conn.--Praxair, Inc. (NYSE:PX) announced today that it will debut a first-of-its-kind Robotic Cutting System, the Praxair ProStar PRS900, at the FABTECH show in Chicago, November 9-12.
Praxair (Booth N14049) will demonstrate how this breakthrough metal-cutting technology can help customers lower equipment investment, cut labor expenses and minimize operating costs, all while improving product quality and productivity.
"Put simply, Praxairs new PRS900 system provides fabricators with the ability to do much more with much less," said Craig Camp, Praxair cutting machine manager. "The systems modular design allows operators to use one machine to cut structural tube and beam as well as 2-D plate and domes. Additionally, its true complex 3-D movement and ability to create, share and acquire evolving cutting parameters online, using the proprietary PRS900 cutting systems web-based operator interface, provide users with new flexibility."
Praxair will also be supporting FABTECH exhibitors by providing the shows nitrogen supply. Through the use of skidded, portable microbulk cylinders and its microbulk supply capabilities, Praxair will ensure all exhibitors have access to nitrogen at the pressures they need.

Featured Product
3D Vision: Ensenso B now also available as a mono version!
This compact 3D camera series combines a very short working distance, a large field of view and a high depth of field - perfect for bin picking applications. With its ability to capture multiple objects over a large area, it can help robots empty containers more efficiently. Now available from IDS Imaging Development Systems. In the color version of the Ensenso B, the stereo system is equipped with two RGB image sensors. This saves additional sensors and reduces installation space and hardware costs. Now, you can also choose your model to be equipped with two 5 MP mono sensors, achieving impressively high spatial precision. With enhanced sharpness and accuracy, you can tackle applications where absolute precision is essential. The great strength of the Ensenso B lies in the very precise detection of objects at close range. It offers a wide field of view and an impressively high depth of field. This means that the area in which an object is in focus is unusually large. At a distance of 30 centimetres between the camera and the object, the Z-accuracy is approx. 0.1 millimetres. The maximum working distance is 2 meters. This 3D camera series complies with protection class IP65/67 and is ideal for use in industrial environments.
