Key Features
PCR41 Features
Standard features that set this machine apart in demanding manufacturing environments.
Precision & Performance
- Processes all four faces of square and rectangular HSS — cuts slots, holes, copes, and markings on every side without repositioning the material
- Fanuc 6-axis industrial robot provides the longest mean time before failure in the industry, keeping maintenance costs low and uptime high
Ease of Operation
- Compact footprint with flexible placement options lets you fit the system into tight shop layouts, with durable conveyor modules available for yard infeed and outfeed
- Advanced laser measuring system with dual rotary encoders detects actual material dimensions before cutting, compensating for mill tolerances automatically
- ProEVS DSTV viewer and editor software lets operators create new parts or modify existing drawings in a process-oriented interface right at the machine
- Internet-connected cameras inside the enclosure enable remote diagnostics and fast troubleshooting without waiting for an on-site service visit
Built-In Extras
- 3D vision measuring delivers fast, accurate measurements without physical probing — reducing cycle time and eliminating probe wear
- Reads DSTV/NC1 files directly from Tekla, SDS/2, GRAITEC, and other major detailing software — no macros or post-processing steps required

Robotic beam coping & plate processing system
PCR31
The PCR31 packs full-scale robotic beam coping and plate processing into a single compact work cell. A 6-axis industrial robot armed with a Hypertherm XPR plasma source handles copes, notches, bolt holes, weld preparation, beam splitting, and layout marking on H-beams up to W44, channels, angles, and HSS — then switches to plate processing for holes, slots, and profiles in material up to 60 inches wide. The onboard 3D Vision System scans each piece as it arrives, measuring actual dimensions and compensating for mill tolerances automatically so every cut lands where it should. Feed your DSTV or DXF files straight from Tekla, SDS/2, or GRAITEC and the PCR31 runs them without manual programming. Available from AC Machinery in Cambridge, Ontario, with full installation, training, and ongoing service support.
7-axis robotic structural steel cutting system
PCR42
The PCR42 is Prodevco’s top-of-line robotic plasma coping system, combining 7-axis operation with fully automated laser measuring for maximum structural steel processing versatility. A Fanuc 7th rotary axis enables 2-zone processing — reducing material indexing and pushing throughput well beyond single-zone systems. It handles wide-flange beams up to W44, channels, angles, HSS rectangle and square tubing, and round tube, executing copes, notches, holes, slots, compound bevels, beam splitting, scribing, and weld prep directly from DSTV/NC1 files. Available from AC Machinery in Cambridge, Ontario, with full installation, training, and ongoing service support.
Combination drilling and robotic plasma beam line
PCR51
The PCR51 is Prodevco’s flagship beam processing line, combining CNC drilling and robotic plasma coping in a single integrated system. Three independent spindle drill heads with sub-axis positioning handle simultaneous drilling on all three faces — even when holes are not aligned — plus milling, tapping, countersinking, and slot machining. The robotic plasma coper adds copes, notches, compound angle cuts, weld prep, beam splitting, and layout marking, eliminating the need for separate drill and cope lines. Processes sections from 6″×3″ up to 51″×20″. Available from AC Machinery in Cambridge, Ontario.
