Selection and Application of Plasma Cutting Machine

Ⅰ. How to choose a suitable plasma cutting machine requires a self-analysis of the factory

1. First figure out what is the current processing volume of the factory and the market survey of the surrounding external sheet metal processing volume? Then materialize these indicators: the type of plate, thickness, the complexity of the processing graphics, plasma machining fit and so on.

2. What is the current output value of the factory and what is the budget for the plasma cutting machine?

3. The processing volume and output value of our factory within half a year or one year, and the setting of the future development direction, etc.

The plasma power supply is the core component that determines the performance of the equipment. Although its advantages and disadvantages are not obvious in appearance, the effect is clearly reflected in the real operation and processing.

Inferior CNC plasma cutting machines with the same power, the cutting thickness is generally 2-3 less than that of high-quality ones. And it is only suitable for cutting thin plates, and there will be a certain gap in cutting speed. Basically, the price of cheap and inferior CNC plasma cutting machines is more than 40,000, and the price of high-quality ones is more than 100,000. The plasma cutting machine produced by our company is mainly based on high-quality power supply. Under the condition of ensuring quality and safety, we deepen independent research and development technology, reduce costs, improve products, and bring high-quality and low-cost plasma cutting machines to our customers.

Ⅱ. Application of plasma cutting machine

The advantages of the plasma cutting machine are that the plasma arc energy is more concentrated, the temperature is higher, the cutting speed is faster, the deformation is small, and it can also cut stainless steel, aluminum and other materials.

The disadvantage of plasma cutting is that the arc light is strong, the noise is large, and there is a lot of dust, which has a certain pollution to the environment. For many medium-thickness, underwater plasma cutting is used, and the cutting thickness is also limited. Similarly, because the gas flow, arc length, telegram quality, current size, and cutting speed all affect the quality, it is not ideal to master the machine well. So it's not as simple as flame cutting. Plasma cutting machine should not be too many, because the cutting speed is fast, it is easy to be affected by the above factors, and the cutting quality is not the same. Generally speaking, for thin plate cutting, the surface quality of plasma cutting incision is better than that of live wire cutting, and there is little slag.

Plasma cutting machine is an ideal method to cut 4-30mm steel plate, which can avoid the disadvantages of slow oxyacetylene cutting speed, large deformation, serious incision melting and serious slag hanging. It can also obtain the blanking of materials such as stainless steel with a certain thickness.
