Why plasma?

Plasma arc cutting systems can:

  • Cut any metal that conducts electricity
  • Cut with little or no warpage or clean-up
  • Cut much faster than other methods
  • Replace many other tools
  • Gouge any conductive metal
  • Be used with most track-burners, shape cutters, etc.
  • Operate in the field on engine driven generators

 

Plasma arc cutting requirements

Three things needed to create a plasma arc:

  • Process gas: Air, N2, etc.
  • Energy source: DC power supply
  • Starting method: high frequency or contact start (preferred)

Plasma cutting advantages vs. oxyfuel

  • Plasma can cut non-ferrous materials; oxyfuel cannot
  • Plasma cuts faster for higher productivity
  • Minimal secondary operations required on plasma cuts
  • Lower operating costs for plasma
  • Significantly smaller heat-affected zone
  • Virtually no warpage with plasma
  • Plasma can cut painted, rusted or dirty materials
  • Safer process than oxyfuel; no flammable gases
