Definition of CNC Plasma Cutter ,how does it work ?

 

CNC plasma cutting refers to the use of computer-controlled plasma torch to cut metal. cnc metal Plasma cutter machine working principle
is by forcing gas or compressed air through the nozzle at high speed. Once the arc introduces the gas, it produces ionized gas, or plasma, which is the fourth state of matter , this kind gas flows like a liquid, The plasma temperature can up to 45,000 degrees Fahrenheit and 25,000 degrees Celsius,

A CNC plasma system is a machine that carries a plasma torch and can move that torch in a path directed by a computer. The term “CNC” refers to “Computer Numerical Control”, which means that a computer is used to direct the machine's motion based on numerical codes in a program.

This temperature can not only cut metal, but also melt any slag. The result is a precise, clean cut, cnc metal plasma cutting machine can cut various types of metal materials, including metal, tainless steel, carbon steel , aluminum, copper, titanium, nickel ,and other metal.

What is a best cnc plasma cutter used for ?

 

You are wondering for what can I make with a  cnc plasma metal cutting machine ?  Below  is simple introduction of  metal plasma cutters for better understanding . Plasma cutting is a versatile technology used to cut a wide range of materials like  stainless steel, aluminum, copper, cast iron, carbon steel and other metal materials cutting, not only cutting speed, narrow slit, smooth incision, small heat affected zone, low deformation of the workpiece, simple operation, and has significant energy saving effect.

 

 Plasma cutters  are widely used for a  range of metal fabrication industries like  automobiles, locomotives, pressure vessels, chemical machinery, nuclear industry, general machinery, engineering machinery, steel structure ,Aerospace, electronic appliances, kitchenware manufacturing, machining, petrochemical, metallurgy, military, pharmaceutical, pipeline manufacturing and other industries.

 

If  you are  cutting big size and heavy duty metal plate , can consider of this type , like size

Industrial Gantry Cnc Plasma cutting machine 

 Large gantry cnc plasma cutter is widely used for Heavy metal industry , It is designed for large metal cutting projects andbecome the ideal for heavy -duty industrial applications .the features of gantry type plasma cutting machine is with big cutting table and movable gantry ,that makes the cutting torch  working along the X,Y,and Z axis , there is no work table with  gantry cnc plasma machine , Moving cutting is carried out by the guide slide on the Y-axis 2 side ,allowing for precise and accurate cutting.  Gantry plasma cutters are generally more expensive than other types cnc plasma machine but are capable of cutting large pieces of metal quickly and efficiently.

 

Big gantry cnc plasma cutting machine  are available in various specifications such as 3m, 4m, 5m, and 6m. They all adopt bilateral drive and dual-axis linear guides. The standard configuration is a transverse rail gauge of 4m and a longitudinal rail length of 6m. Single flame or single plasma cutting method, with automatic Ignition; it can also be equipped with flame and plasma cutting methods. The length of each section of the longitudinal guide rail is 2m. The length of the guide rail and the width of the beam span can be configured according to user requirements. Multiple cutting torches or special-shaped cutting and strip cutting can also be configured according to user requirements.

 Option function : drilling head , Rotary device for pipe cutting  , Marking head ,flame cutting head . with more function   .

What Are Advantages of Cnc Plasma Cutting ?
 
Versatility : 

Cnc plasma metal cutting can make simple and complex cutting in the stainless steel ,brass, carbon steel, or copper.

It can cut both thin metal plate and thicker plate with stronger cutting ability .It can also be programmed into the control system to complete a wide range of diverse shapes with no pre-heating or cooling required .

By choosing a cnc plasma cutter , you can significantly reduce the time spent on the project while also producing more clean cut.

Utting torch will carefully follow the programmed path , providing a reliable and consistent cut every single time.

 
Low Cost :
Plasma cutting machine with affordable price , Compared to fiber cutting machines, plasma cutting machines are more economical ,Cutting gun does not need maintenance, only a few wearing parts, long life, greatly saving costs

 

Increased Safety :
Since CNC plasma cutters are computer controlled , they are much safer to use than other metal cutters. All cuts programmed into a CNC plasma cutting machine are set up and completed electronically, eliminating the need for handling the torch or metal during the cutting process. CNC plasma cutters also do not use or store any explosive gases, further increasing safety for your facility.

 

Quick and Efficiency :

The plasma arc energy is more concentrated, the temperature is more local, the cutting speed is faster, the deformation is smaller, and the stainless steel can be cut. Aluminum and other materials. Plasma cutting machines have the advantage of cutting thick plates, because the cutting speed is much higher than that of lasers and flames

 

HIgh Precision :

Cnc Plasma Cutters are working with accurate computer programs. Once the cutting drawing was programed into  system.

How Much Does A CNC Plasma Cutter Cost ?
 

 

Industrial quality CNC plasma tables typically range from around $15,000 ,  An entry-level CNC plasma, ideal for a hobbyist or small welding shop can cost about $3,000.  Plasma cutting machine price  depend on following factors :

 

1.Cnc plasma table size  :  our popular selling size is 1.2*1.2 ,1.3*2.5m, 1.5*3m,2*4m , for  large industrial workign size  1.5*6m,2*6m,3*6m, 3*8m and so on , price will  little expensive than standard size

 

2.Plasma power : Cutting metals of different thicknesses requires plasma power supplies of different powers. The greater the power, the higher the price. Normally, taking the size of a desktop plasma cutting machine of 1.5*3m as an example, to cut carbon steel and stainless steel below 0-15mm, choose 63A-120A. , the price is about $3,700-$4,800, 15-30mm thickness requires a 160-200A power supply, the price ranges from $5,400 to $6,700.  What we said above is the price of domestic Huayuan LGKplasma power supply, of course, if you  choose the American Hypertherm power supply, the price is twice that of Huayuan .From Hyerptherm power 65A  to 200A  ,The corresponding price  is from $7,400 to $20,000.

 

3.Software and Accessories :Different configurations have different prices. Higher configurations, such as  servo motor drivers, are cheaper than ordinary Leadshine servo motor drivers. you  can choose a price that suits your needs and budget .
