Key Benefits of Using Plasma Cutters

by Longevity Inc Industrial Mechanical

What is Plasma Cutting?

Plasma cutting is widely used for the cutting of aluminum, steel, and stainless steel, and many other metals with the help of a plasma torch. The process involves blowing of a gas at a high speed from a nozzle and an electrical arc melts the metal and compresses air to blow the molten metal away.

This gives a sharper and cleaner cut as compared to Oxy-Acetylene gas cutting torch. Longevity Plasma Cutters ranges from 40 amps to 100 amps, enabling the user to have an easy arc strike for their plasma cutting works.

Plasma cutters offer many advantages, which make them a popular choice in many different industries. These include the below ones:

Moveable

Plasma cutters are easily moveable and portable. If you have been using traditional cutting tools then you would know what a pain it is to move these massive tools around. With technological advancements, plasma cutters are now highly lightweight and have compact designs without compromising on performance. Wherever the job demands, these lightweight cutters can be easily moved and are portable. Longevity plasma cutters are so portable that they can be easily handled by just one person.

Versatile

Plasma cutting makes use of an electrical arc to cut the metals like steel, iron, copper, brass, aluminum, stainless steel and other diverse kinds of metal. These cutters can also cut different materials stacked on each other with the highest cutting speed which is not possible with other cutting and welding technologies.

Plasma cutters are a perfect option for different industries that need to cut various thickness and types of metals as they possess the ability to do so. Also, these can be used to shape metal channels, tubes, and angles.

Ease of use

Plasma Cutters don’t need much training and practice as they are easy to handle and can be used efficiently. Being highly efficient, these tools can save the training cost of employees. Even a first time user can make a perfect cutting on the first try.

Fast Cuts

The cutting speed of a plasma cutter is high as compared to other tools as it is easier to handle and is a time saver. Plasma Cutter is clearly the winner over others as it takes one-fourth of the time used by other tools. It surely saves the cutting time.

Precision Cuts

One of the major benefits of a plasma cutter is its precision and accuracy. To use plasma cutters, you need not be an experienced operator as a first time user can also make a clean cut. Cutting different shapes or angles with sheet metal can be easily done with them.

Low Cost

It is comparatively less costly as its cuts things faster with less waste. They also consume less energy, which in turn saves your utility bills. Also, there is no need to replace them often as most of these can be used year after year. Surely, plasma cutting is more cost-effective process over other cutting methods.

Safe to use

Working with these cutters is safe and risk-free as this cutting process doesn’t uses highly flammable gases unlike oxy-fuel cutters.

Longevity Plasma Cutters can be the best choice for your metal cutting and welding needs as they are fine-tuned, efficient, and can be broadly used.
