PLASMA CUTTING

What is plasma cutting

A plasma cutting system uses a plasma stream to transfer energy to a conductive work material. The plasma stream is typically formed by forcing a gas such as nitrogen, oxygen, argon — or even air — through a narrow nozzle. An electric current produced by an external power supply adds sufficient energy to the gas flow to ionize it, turning it into a plasma arc with temperatures approaching 40,000˚ F. The plasma arc cuts the workpiece by melting it, and blows away the molten metal.

Benefits of plasma cutting

Productivity

Any electrically conductive metal, including stainless steel and aluminum

Can handle rusted, painted, and expanded metal

Mild steel, stainless and aluminum from 26 gauge up to 50 mm (2″)

Capable of cutting stainless and aluminum up to 182 mm (6-1/4″); some secondary work will be required

Cut quality

Tolerances in the +/- 0.38 mm to 0.5 mm (+/- 0.015” to 0.020”) range with average edge angularity of 2° to 3° on steel less than 10 mm (3/8”); 1° on 12 mm to 38 mm (1/2” to 1-1/2”) steel; less than 1° on 50 mm (2”) steel*

 

Time saving

Faster than laser on 6 mm (1/4”) and thicker materials

Faster than oxyfuel up through 50 mm (2”)

Budget friendly

Low cost per part on all materials and thickness through 50 mm (2”)

Low service and maintenance requirements

Investment cost – Medium – higher than oxyfuel, lower than laser and waterjet
