The recent launch of our APEX was a good reason for Manufacturing Today to catch up with HGG’s Chief Commercial Officer, Wiebe Wiersma who explained: “Around 12 years ago, a plasma-cutting robot was launched that allowed one machine to do all the cutting necessary and to work from 3D drawings. Since then, this machine as become the common solution. At HGG, we are a company driven by a passion for technology; as a result, our technology and the way we do things differently set us apart. We set ourselves the highest standards and constantly push the boundaries of what is possible.

360 Robotic Freedom

“We designed a product that has a really disruptive design. Now we have a robotic machine which rotates 360 degrees around the profile; this is a concept that nobody has used before and is patented by HGG. This product allows the robot full freedom in the whole cutting envelope. This not only makes the operation faster but also increases potential tonnage output. We believe the product can potentially double the output of any other machine in the market. 

Unparalleled Versatility

“The equipment is also a whole lot more versatile; it can cut all the profiles a fabricator ever needs. The components we are using within the machine are also proven technology. We developed the laser measurement technology as well as the cutting software behind it in-house. Because we are a user as well as developers of the component technologies using our own intellectual property, we are not reliant on third parties; this provides us with significant competitive advantages.”
