 CNC Plasma Cutting |
 |
|
Plasma cutting is a process used to cut steel and other metals (or sometimes other materials) using a plasma torch. In this process, an inert gas (in some units, compressed air) is blown at high speed out of a nozzle; at the same time an electrical arc is formed through that gas from the nozzle to the surface being cut, turning some of that gas to plasma. This plasma is sufficiently hot to melt the metal and moving sufficiently fast to blow molten metal away from the cut. The result is very much like cutting butter with a hot jet of air.

Controller Simplifies Plasma Tube Cutter Development
|
|
An innovative new plasma-cutting machine for flue pipes by Techserv Cutting Systems, a specialist manufacturer of CNC profile cutting systems, uses advanced interpolated motion in the cutting system to dramatically increase production throughput. Helping to deliver the interpolated motion is a real-time machine control module from Baldor.

ESAB Introduces the Integrated Gas Control for m3 Plasma Cutting Systems
|
|
ESAB Welding & Cutting Products announces a new low-cost gas control system for its popular m3 Plasma™ System. The new Integrated Gas Control (IGC) replaces manual gas control systems by integrating shield gas and plasma gas control into a single box design for use with non-mixed gases. The system is ideal for any plasma application that would normally be handled by a manual gas control. It adds many of the features of a fully automatic gas control system.

The Top 3 Ways to Prevent CNC Cutting Machine Mishaps
|
|
People do not buy personal CNC (computer numerical controlled) cutting centers everyday. In fact, this technology used to be reserved for only the deep-pocketed machine shop elite. So, when I took the time to consider what most home shop machinists might go through when they set up their first system, I knew first I would have to take into account the fact that there is a large variation in individuals’ experiences with CNC cutting machines.
