Quotation   Profiling Machine UPC 450
The UPC 450 - Universal Profile Cutter - is a profile cutting machine with a small footprint. The machine is designed to cut bar profiles (e.g.,
stiffeners) and can be upgraded to cut pipes. A 3D laser scan allows the plasma cutting torch to cut precisely and accurately with every cut. The
sealed cutting area protects operators from the cutting process and aids in fume and particle extraction for improved health and safety. The UPC
450 with pipe cutting option has the capacity to cut pipes with an outside diameter of Ø 48mm (1.9 inch) - Ø 510mm (20 inch) with a maximum
load of 2.5 ton.

Benefits
The Ship Profiler incorporates HGG’s highest quality of technology and
utilizes innovations to improve in both speed, precision and operator
safety to provide the best machines configured to your needs.

Working with high voltages, explosive gasses and heavy steel means
that safety precautions are an absolute necessity. All HGG’s profiling
machines ensure that operator safety has the highest priority while
taking operator comfort into consideration.

Foundation & Main Frame
HGG supplies drawings of the foundation required for each machine. A correct
placement of the foundation is important to ensure the machine’s accuracy and
alignment for many years of production. The cutting trolley is supported by a
frame at the rear of the machine and is called the main frame.

Stationary foundation Main Frame


The foundation frame is embedded in the concrete floor The main frame supports the cutting trolley and is

Welcome to the world of
Profiling Shapes
Profiling shapes are created by software based tools to calculate cutting paths to
profile a saddle connection for example. By entering parameters the predefined
profiling shape will create a virtual cutting path which can be cut by HGG´s
cutting equipment. This document will explain which features the profiling
shapes have and something about their application.

All profiling shapes have their own specific Please contact HGG for more information

Weld types and application
The picture below is a simplified view of
the variation in dihedral angle on a small
sloped pipe to pipe connection from toe
zone to heel zone. The dihedral angle at
the toe zone is too large for a fillet weld.
Fillet Weld Weld between the outer walls
A groove weld is the best option for a
strong connection with a minimum of weld
volume.

At the heel zone the dihedral angle is much


smaller. A groove opening here needs
a lot of weld volume to create a strong
connection. A better option here is a fillet
weld. It needs less weld volume, easier to
weld and easier to cut. Groove Weld Weld between an outer wall and a wall end

Somewhere between these weld types


along the joint is a zone where the change
from one weld type to the other occurs.
This zone is called the ´transition zone´.

Note: Maximum cutting capacity depends on type of plasma source.
• Single bevel with nose: t ≥ 15 mm 1. Max cutting wall thickness for 3D profiling = cosines ‘max. bevel angle’ x ‘max. cutting length’.
2. This column represents the cutting length ranges ‘max. high quality cutting length’ - ‘max. low quality cutting length’. Values are depending on the materials to be cut, their compositions and cutting
• Double bevel with nose: t ≥ 20 mm speed. It is not related to the maximum piercing wall thickness.
