Our Precision Plasma Cutting Process
The process begins with carefully selecting and preparing the material to be cut. This includes measuring and marking the dimensions needed and ensuring the material is clean and free from contaminants, which can affect cut quality.
The next step involves programming the Computer Numerical Control (CNC) system with the desired design specifications. CAD (Computer-Aided Design) files are often used to create precise cutting paths, ensuring accuracy and repeatability in complex shapes.
The cutting machine is set up once the CNC program is ready. This includes installing the appropriate plasma cutting torch and configuring the system's settings, such as cutting speed, amperage, and gas flow rates, based on the material type and thickness.
The cutting process starts with igniting the plasma arc. A high-velocity stream of ionized gas is directed through the torch, creating a concentrated heat source that melts the metal. As the torch moves along the programmed path, the molten metal is blown away, resulting in a clean cut.
During and after the cutting process, quality control measures are implemented to ensure the integrity of the cut. This includes checking for accuracy in dimensions and surface finish and ensuring there is minimal slag or burr formation.
Once cutting is complete, necessary finishing processes are performed. This may involve additional machining, deburring, or surface treatments to meet specific customer requirements. The final pieces are then prepared for delivery or further assembly as needed.
Precision Plasma Cutting Materials
