The Patriot is the most compact structural plasma cutting system availabe on the market. This system processes copes, cut-to-length, AISC approved bolted-hole connections, plasma marking and scribing, and fully cutting shapes up to 48" (1.2m) wide and beam capacities up to 1,000lb per foot. The Controlled Automation Patriot machine comes standard with laser scanning to provide more than 60% faster processing than probing machines.
The Patriot is very unique in its utilization of a cartesian style design instead of a generic robot. There are several benefits to thermally cutting structural shapes with our system. The Patriot can process structural shapes faster and in fewer movements, sometimes processing in as little as two movements compared to other generic robots that have to move 7 axes' of motion for the same processing. This simplified robotic motion reduces cable wear and increases the longevity of the overall machine. The incorporation of laser scanning also improves overall processing time in comparison with other designs requiring continuous probing of material when processing.

Controlled Automation utilizes off-the-shelf parts for easy maintenance and less expense on component replacements. Self calibration, web-cam service connectivity, free phone support, and remote operation are all standard features for easy maintenance and service of the machine. We fully service the entirety of the machine from the software, controls and mechanical build of the machine. Controlled Automation is the only coper manufacturer in the world to design the software, build the entire robot, controller, and machine!
Using our own SICAM 3D software, the Patriot can process and nest (mult) all coped parts, hole processing, cut-to-length AND mark for layout of welded operations. Using the Hypertherm XPR series torch, the Patriot utilizes Argon scribing for an improved scribing method as compared to stand-alone marking systems with ArcWriters. This process produces cleaner marks and better accuracy of layout through the use of laser scanning and a length measuring probe.
