Steel fabrication in Tasmania has taken a giant leap forward with the arrival of InfraBuild’s Kinetic 5000 plate processing machine at our Launceston Steel Centre. To mark the occasion, InfraBuild hosted a launch event which brought together more than 30 customers, industry leaders and special guests – including local MP Michael Ferguson – who all witnessed firsthand the machine’s game-changing capabilities. 

The Kinetic 5000 was designed for precision, efficiency and cost savings. It allows Tasmanian businesses to take on complex projects which may have previously been too challenging or labour-intensive. The advanced dry cutting table and integrated drilling and machining technology mean customers can expect:

• 
  Unrivalled precision – achieving clean, accurate cuts with minimal heat distortion
  • Faster turnaround times – high-speed cutting ensures quicker order fulfilment
  • Improved consistency – automated cutting minimises human error for repeatable, high-quality results.
  • Cost savings – reduce material waste and minimise the need for post-cutting processes

The Kinetic 5000 is designed to handle the most demanding steel processing needs. Its details are:

1. Processing capabilities: HD plasma cutting, oxy profiling, drilling, tapping, complex bevelling, threading, milling, part marking, scribing, counter sinking and counter boring, and etching.
2. Specifications: can cut up to 200mm thick plate, handle plate sizes up to 3400mm x 15000mm, and drill holes up to 100mm in diameter.
3. Superior edge quality: produces smooth, ready-to-weld edges for a seamless assembly process.
