How the plasma cutting process works and how it differs from flame cutting, for example, previously has already been mentioned. The technology is not new, we ourselves have been using plasma cutting for months our website to our own satisfaction and that of our customers, we think it may be worth revisiting the advantages of thermal cutting over other cutting and machining processes.
Applicable to a wide range of materials
The technology is widely applicable. Plasma cutting can be used to machine almost any metal that conducts electricity, such as cast irons; stainless, alloy and acid-resistant steels; copper; aluminium and its alloys, but also hard materials such as titanium.
Compared to other forms of cutting, plasma cutting more accurate and faster provides a cutting method for machining and cutting different shapes of rolled or extruded materials, angular shapes or tubes.
In contrast to other technologies, plasma cutting does not cause internal continuity defects in the metal to be machined, nor not sensitive to the condition of the plate surface.
High quality cut
Plasma cutting gives excellent cutting edges and a clean cut. The metal to be machined does not deform, even at lower thicknesses, while minimal waste is produced during cutting.
Due to the specificities of the technology, cutting is fast, with minimum waste can be carried out, which also improves cost-effectiveness. Plasma cutting also offers very good performance when cutting stacked metals.
Economical
The plasma arc cut offers a most cost-effective method for cutting medium thickness stainless steel and aluminium.
As there is no need for preheating or the cutting process can be automated plasma cutting is a fast and efficient solution for material processing, which is not only suitable for individual pieces but also for large series.
The economics of the technology are also enhanced by the use of inexpensive gas (usually an argon-hydrogen mixture) and the low power consumption of the machine operating costs - and therefore also the cost of haircuts - can be kept low.
With our cutting machines and skilled staff for almost any kind of custom or large-scale cutting we are at our customers' disposal. Contact us with confidence, be one of us satisfied our customers one!
