BREAKTHROUGH IN MANWAY
CUTTING & DOOR-FRAME WELDING IN WIND TOWERS

MCM 5-axis portable shape cutting and welding machine

The MCM enables prefect cutting tailored to individual and custom oval shape of door frame and very efficient welding with high quality results.

Main advantages of MCM 5-axis portable CNC shape cutting and welding machine:

• most processes can be performed in a fully programmable cycles,
• simple and user friendly interface enables an easy input and configuration of cutting/beveling parameters,
• innovative control system and software allow for double-sided beveling in one operation and ensures precise movement of cutting torch and active compensation of torch position with regards to work piece curvature,
• cutting/beveling/welding on flat, concave, convex and conical surfaces is available,
• can be placed directly on a work-piece and fixed firmly by means of permanent magnets,
• light construction,
• custom made versions are available.

Wind Power - mainstream form of renewable energy

Wind power has experienced a sharp growth over last years and is a leading source of renewable energy. Expansion of wind energy, that describes the process by which the wind as a form of solar energy is used to generate mechanical power or electricity, is an efficient way to fight climate change and environmental degradation, reduce CO2 emission, enhance energy security and energy independence as well as to increase of economic growth and job creation.

Over the next decades wind energy will become a major contributor to electricity supply worldwide. The European Union has set a binding target of 20% of its energy supply to come from wind and other renewable sources by 2020. It is expected that by 2030 wind will produce 26-35% of the EU's electricity and wind energy will cover 20% of total electricity consumption in the USA.

To meet these ambitious goals hundreds of wind farms will be installed every year to come. Promotech would like to contribute to wind industry growth and has designed the MCM 5-axis portable CNC shape cutting and welding machine.

This patent pending machine features advanced control system enabling programmable comprehensive oxy-fuel or plasma cutting and beveling of manhole in wind tower construction. Welding software and accessories with a welding head attachment for either SAW or FCAW allow door-frame welding.
