As it sought to meet the increasing demand for pipe fabrication and pressure vessels, Bassett Mechanical turned to the HGG Group for advanced cutting technology, improving productivity and efficiency. Kim Bassett, CEO and chairwoman of the board, noted, “The only way to grow is to look for a different way to do things, and equipment such as the HGG machine is a really big part of that journey in helping us achieve operational excellence.”
Designed in-house, ProCAM software leverages HGG Profiling Equipment Inc.’s 40 years of 3D profiling knowledge and synthesizes it into a software system designed to maximize throughput and material usage, saving users time and money. ProCAM and ProCAM Lite are the only software specifically designed for HGG profiling machines.
Cerris Systems North Central, Inc. (formerly MMC Contractors) needed a unique pipe cutter to meet rapidly growing demand, so they collaborated with HGG Group to develop the first-ever ProCutter 900 RB. The results were immediate, with instant time savings. A recurring job involving 30” pipes that used to take two weeks to cut now only takes four days.
