Plasma cutting makes it possible to prepare metal parts quickly and accurately for workshop and work.
Plasma cutting makes it possible to prepare metal parts quickly and accurately for workshop and work.
How it works
Plasma concentrates energy to cut metal quickly. It is useful in iron, steel and stainless steel within suitable thicknesses.
Advantages
It makes it possible to prepare parts, plates, supports and auctions with more precision than an improvised manual cutting.
Common uses
It is used in metal manufacturing, structures, repairs, prototypes, auctions and custom parts.
Summary technical basis
The Plasma cutting uses an accelerated plasma jet to cut conductive materials (steel, stainless, aluminium, etc.).
Practical points:
- stands out for speed and good repeatability;
- allows complex geometries when combined with CNC;
- requires control of the area affected by heat and edge quality according to thickness.
