Watch The Video to see PythonX carefully probe the workpiece prior to cutting, so each cut is precisely where it needs to be. This probing even provides collision detection that will immediately stop the robot if an unexpected obstacle is encountered. Does your beam line do that ?
Probe & Measure Capability
The steel you buy is always perfectly straight and in spec.
We know that's not the case, but with PythonX, imperfect material is NOT a problem. Bent, cambered, convex, concave, slightly over or undersized, or web not centered on the flange - all these defects can be accommodated thanks to PythonX's probe/measure feature.
It uses the latest electronic touch sensing technology to measure exact location and dimensions of the workpiece. It uses this information to recalculate the cutting path, making corrections for bent or imperfect shapes.
You choose a reference point for bolt holes, slots and other features on the web and flanges. You can specify "Centered", "Top" or "Bottom" reference datum, ensuring holes are exactly where they need to be, even though the beam is "less than perfect."
