How to Use a Plasma Cutter with a CNC Table?

The craftsman or do-it-yourselfer connects the plasma cutter to a power source via the electric cable. The connection to the device and a clamp for the material are usually located on the earth cable.

The rear panel of CNC plasma cutters has machine interface connectors that you may hook your automated torch to.

However, the interface port that you wish to use for your CNC cutting table only works if you’ve removed the hand torch. So, you cannot keep the two torches plugged in.

The electrically conductive plasma is created during the ignition process. With a temperature of up to 30,000 degrees, the plasma cutter can process metal precisely.

You must make slow movements with the plasma cutter. Since the gas contained is ionized, it reacts very quickly and cannot cut cleanly and precisely if it is moved too quickly.

Table Type Plasma Cutting Machine

iGOLDEN P (Compact) Series plasma cutter machine has a modular frame.  Modular frames are welded, and stress relief is performed after welding to ensure quality and accuracy.  High-quality and precise plasma cutting is possible with double-sided synchronized gap-free planetary reducers that offer high precision.  High positioning speed, acceleration, and automatic torch height control ensure the best cutting quality for your manufacturing needs.  The tables are fragmented and divided for the effective evacuation of smoke that might occur during the cutting processes.  Manual and automatic bevel cutting, drilling station, and oxygen cutting heads are some of the available optional features.  We as Durma know that you have differing needs, and we provide precise solutions to your manufacturing problems with our innovative and dedicated team.

What Makes a Plasma Cutter Compatible with a CNC Table?

What makes specific plasma cutters suitable for CNC machines is that they are digital devices designed to be used with a computer.  The computer indicates the precision of the cuts to be made, according to a digital sketch (vector image), previously made in a compatible program such as Corel, AutoCAD, Solid Works, Fusion, etc.  Thanks to the electronic control technology, you will therefore be able to automatically manufacture workpieces with high precision.  CNC stands for computerized numerical control.  It is a computer-based, automated control of a plasma cutter.  The CNC Plasma Cutter uses a high-speed jet of ionized gas (plasma), which conducts the electricity from the torch to the work material and heats the part until it melts and expels the material.

With a CNC plasma cutter, you will get different advantages during the process, and it is reflected in the result.

How to Maintain Plasma Cutter

To ensure a long service life for the device, the following points should be taken into account during maintenance:

The plasma cutter must be disconnected from the power supply before maintenance, otherwise, there is a danger to life.

The inside of the plasma cutter must remain free of metal dust particles. We recommend cleaning the inside of the device with compressed air.

The nozzle, electrode, and gas swirl ring must be replaced at regular intervals so that the plasma cutter is not damaged.

The nozzle clamping sleeve must be reassembled and tightened after changing. The clamping sleeve must never be placed on the plasma torch without the other components!

After maintenance or repairs, all cables must be reattached to the plasma cutter.
