The Ocean Liberator is an oxy-fuel beam coping line that cuts structural steel up to 6 inches (152 mm) thick, giving small and medium fabricators an automated alternative to manual coping. Its torch produces block copes, flange thins, rat holes and other common profile cuts, while a pivoting head enables miter cutting and beveled weld preparation on both the top and bottom flanges. Automatic torch ignition removes the tedious probing typically required by robotic copers, allowing tight near-flange work. A laser zero-reference device projects a line so the operator can jog the torch to the datum before the profile is processed. The machine is programmed with Peddinghaus Raptor 3D CAD/CAM software for fast, accurate part preparation.
