Automated CNC Plasma Cutting Machines For High Productivity and Superfine Finish
by Kompass India General Manager
A CNC Plasma Cutting Machine incorporates the basic plasma cutting head driven by a computerized numerical control unit to give repeatability, precision, accuracy and superfine finish in an automated, high volume production environment. The machine is just as suitable for producing one-off parts with minimum effort since a design can be fed into the computer. Plasma cutting is better than metal sawing, gas cutting or other processes to cut different metals in varying thicknesses. The cutting head is comprised of a plasma torch fed by a source of high pressure compressed gas while an arc at the nozzle forms to cut the metal, pushing away molten metal from the cut areas. Plasma cutting machine manufacturers in India can design, multi-functional, versatile units capable of handling any kind of job, from simple straight cuts to intricate profiles.
Plasma cutting lends itself admirably to computerized numerical control. The nozzle, using high voltage spark at high frequency is not in contact with the part being cut. This type of cutting process is less susceptible to tip damage than the contact type plasma cutting where an initial contact is necessary to establish the spark. An automated process takes care of establishing the plasma and thereafter the head is guided by the CNC unit. The process of cutting takes place at extremely high temperatures, but is extremely speedy and even thickest of steel plates can be profiled into desired shapes in a matter of minutes. Plasma cutting is of even more benefit when cutting thin steel sheets where high temperatures and prolonged contact can result in melt and defamation issues as well as discoloration. All of these are undesirable, especially in stainless thin gauge sheets and plasma CNC cutting machines simply work around these, delivering finished profiled cuts that need minimum grinding and finishing. Since the plasma head can be angled, the process is also perfect for applications, especially in thick sheets, where angles are required in the cut faces. These and other features are easily incorporated in custom equipments offered by plasma cutting machine manufacturers in India.
According to end use a machine shop may request a plasma cutting CNC machine with a CNC cutting table, a requisite if clean, sharp cuts are required in complex profiles in thin sheets. Others may want a multi-axis cutting of thicker materials, with angular cuts. Regardless of the end purpose, CNC plasma cutting manufacturers in India can design, develop and deliver customized equipments to aid productivity.
Like any other machine the plasma cutting machine is susceptible to wear and tear and maintenance. One advantage of sourcing these CNC plasma machines from Indian manufacturers of plasma cutting machines is the availability of spares and quick services at affordable prices. Compare their rates with imported equipment, spares and service charges and there is no contest.
If you have a machine and fabrication shop and are thinking of sheet and plate cutting, the smart choice is a CNC plasma cutting equipments that save time, labor and efforts while delivering superior results. When you think of the reduced post-cutting finishing work and factor in the cost, this equipment becomes all the more affordable and indispensable.
