Portable Plasma Cutting Machine CNC Plasma

Portable plasma cutting machine consists of a CNC drive unit and two aluminum alloy rails, which makes the machine can be easily disassembled into some small parts to transport and quickly assembled to use.  It’s ideal for small fabrication shops, maintenance and repair shops, trade schools, or for portable use within large facilities and construction sites.

Automated functions and a user-friendly CNC system has 45 different cutting path settings and any plane shape composed of beeline also can be programmed.  Precision and solid guide rails and accuracy motion control makes the machine can precisely cut the shape as customers’ need.

Although our standard CNC plasmas come loaded with capabilities, we also have the options to give you the exact specifications you need as no two facilities are alike. Our wide range of custom options allows you to unleash the possibilities of your CNC plasma table. From multiple 4th axis options to advanced cutting solutions, our CNC plasmas can be upgraded to deliver in any industry. Don’t be limited by the out-of-the-box capabilities of cheap imports. Get the features you need to produce the finishes you want.

How to Operate a Plasma Cutter?

A plasma cutters tables for sale is capable of cutting thick metal sheets in any shape and size. This computer-controlled machine gives instructions through a computer over the manual handheld plasma cutter. It is compatible with optional CNC parts and improves the accuracy, flexibility, and productivity.

When you purchase this plasma cutting machine, you will receive plasma cutting software that needs to be installed before operating the machine.

Software Used to Operate the Plasma Cutter

The software that comes with the plasma cutter is indubitably one of the most important parts of the machine. It allows the operator to successfully design, cut, and control the operation of the plasma torch. To create top quality designs with the plasma cutter, the operator must use AutoCAD for the CAD part and EXG Code for the CAM portion. The software that actually controls the plasma usually comes along with the CNC plasma table.

Here’s a short list of some uses for CNC plasma cutting machines:

1) Cutting High-Hardness Materials

One of the problems with cutting a physically tough material is that it can dull a cutting blade. Saws rapidly dull when trying to chew through metal, creating hazardous sparks and flying metal chips.

Air plasma cutting machines, on the other hand, can keep cutting all day without having to worry about wear and tear regardless of how tough the material being cut is. As long as there is enough gas to turn into plasma and carry the electrical arc to the materials being cut, the plasma cutter can work non-stop.

This helps to save time when cutting high-hardness materials compared to using cutting machines that rely on physical force, as there’s no need to constantly shut the machine down and replace the tooling.

2) You Can Use CNC Plasma Cutting Machines to Minimize the Heat Affected Zone of a Cut

When using a thermal-based cutting method, there’s an issue that has to be dealt with: the heat affected zone, or HAZ. This is an issue because the transfer of massive amounts of thermal energy into a workpiece can have a lasting effect on its physical properties. In fact, some metals are exposed to high temperatures specifically to alter their physical properties—a process known as heat treating.

However, in a workpiece, the uneven distribution of heat from a thermal cutting process can make the workpiece brittle. Here, using a CNC plasma cutting machine is beneficial because these devices can minimize the size of the HAZ—which has the benefit of minimizing heat stress on the workpiece so its physical properties remain unchanged.

This also helps to prevent warping in the workpiece so cuts are clean and straight.

3) Rapid Cutting Jobs

Another benefit of using the ultra-intense temperatures of a plasma cutting process is that there is no need to preheat the torch like there would be with an oxyacetylene torch. Also, unlike saws and other physical cutting tools, there is no cutting edge to wear out, so there’s no need to constantly replace tooling.

This helps to make plasma cutting machines ideal for cutting jobs where speed and efficiency are of the essence. In fact, the startup of an air plasma cutting machine is so fast that some equipment manufacturers recommend starting the machine with the nozzle in place over the workpiece to prevent the waste of gas.
