Last month Dearneside purchased a state of the art PythonX robotic CNC plasma cutting system, which is renowned for being “the world’s most productive structural steel fabrication machine”. It’s a combination of advanced CNC robotics and high-definition plasma cutting, equipped with software so sophisticated it programs cuts by itself.

The machine will improve efficiency and standard in our fabrication shop thanks to its high speed precision metal cutting. It is also designed to only use 20% of floor space, compared to traditional fabrication, and takes about 20% of the processing time.

The machine has now been installed and launched ready for 2018.
