CNC Cutting Plasma Capacity Thickness Chart

CNC plasma flame cutting table is a high-speed compact CNC cutting system that particularly designed to precisely and quickly cut carbon steel plate, aluminum plate, copper plate, stainless steel plate and more metal plates. It can offer a post-processing free cut edge that requires no de-burring process. In addition, this CNC cutting table is also an ideal alternative to hole punching machine.

We all know that the cnc cutting plasma is a particular device used to cut metal elements like mild steel, galvanized sheet, stainless steel, and copper. When buying a CNC plasma cutter, many users will ask us a question: how thick carbon steel sheets this machine can cut? It depends on the plasma generator of the equipment. In other words, the plasma source is the thing that determines the cutting thickness of the machine.

The cutting capacity of the plasma generator varies according to its power. Therefore, we have to match the machine with adequate plasma power according to your cutting thickness requirements.

In your inquiry to us, as long as you specify the cutting thickness you need, we can know what power can best meet your needs. Then we can send you an official quotation for the whole machine set.

Working principle of cnc cutting plasma：

Plasma is a gas that is heated to a very high temperature and is highly ionized. It transfers the arc power to the workpiece. The high heat causes the workpiece to melt and be blown off, forming the working state of plasma arc cutting.

After the compressed air enters the cutting torch, it is distributed by the gas chamber to form plasma gas and auxiliary gas. The plasma gas arc functions to melt the metal, while the auxiliary gas cools the various parts of the torch and blows off the molten metal. The cutting power supply includes two parts: the main circuit and the control circuit.

The electrical principle: the main circuit includes a contactor, a three-phase power transformer with high leakage reactance, a three-phase bridge rectifier, a high-frequency arc ignition coil, and a protection component. Caused by the high leakage reactance, the external characteristics of the power supply are steep. The control circuit completes the entire cutting process through the button switch on the cutting torch:Pre-venting-main circuit power supply-high-frequency arc ignition-cutting process-discharge arc-stop. The power supply of the main circuit is controlled by the contactor; the gas flow is controlled by the solenoid valve; the control circuit controls the high-frequency oscillator to ignite the arc and stops the high-frequency operation after the arc is established. Besides, the control circuit also has the following internal locking functions: the thermal switch operates and stops working.

A CNC plasma machine carries the plasma torch and moves the torch in the path specially directed by the computer. Here are some important features that you must consider while operating a CNC machine. Let us take a look at them:

Important Factors You Should Consider

Determining the Thickness of The Metal

Thickness is one of the most important features that the operator should determine. Before using the cutter, it is important to measure the thickness of the metal that needs to be cut. Plasma cutting machine depends on the material that you choose for cutting. Take for instance; a 375 spectrum plasma machine can effectively cut 3/8 inches of steel.

Optimum Speed of Cutting

The CNC plasma cutter kit is used in a variety of environments. It is ideal for cutting steel and other types of non-ferrous materials that support the process of oxidizing but it does not rely on oxidization to operate.

This plasma machine comes in a variety of shapes and sizes and provides the cutting speed for the thickness of the metal measured in inches per minute (IPM). You should choose a machine that handles twice the normal thickness approximately twice your normal cutting thickness.

Machines Working Quality

The plasma cutting technology has been increasingly improving for about 30 years and more and continues to do so. The quality of the equipment is better than the manual process of cutting. With the help of this advanced technology, you can easily cut a work-piece and create different designs.
