PLASMA CUTTING – when you need speed, versatility, and precise results!
Plasma cutting – one of today’s most efficient metal cutting technologies. And do you know why?
Compared to oxy-fuel cutting, it offers a number of clear advantages, making it the first choice in many workshops:
Advantages:
- Versatility – cuts carbon steel, stainless steel, copper, aluminum, brass, bronze, and many other materials
- The only suitable technology for cutting highly alloyed steels of greater thickness and specialized metals
- Speed – significantly higher cutting rates
- Smaller heat-affected zone
- Complex contours? No problem
- Less dross – cleaner edges
- Narrower kerf
And to be fair, here are some disadvantages compared to oxy-fuel cutting:
- Tendency for undercutting
- Higher electrical power requirements
- More consumables and higher consumption
- Greater demand for technical gases – higher operating pressures, more types of gases
- Larger database of technological parameters
- Higher machine quality requirements
- More frequent dross on the bottom side of cut parts that must be removed
- Higher amount of dust particles
Conclusion: Plasma cutting is an excellent choice when you want speed, precision, and versatility. Whether you work with carbon steel, aluminum, or stainless steel, plasma opens the door to wider manufacturing possibilities.
