CNC Plasma Cutter Machine

What is CNC Plasma Cutter? A CNC Plasma Cutter is a machine or a device uses to cut metal such as mild steel, aluminum, stainless steel or any other electrically-conductive metals by using a powerful electric arc and a gas such as a compressed air. The compressed air blows the arc through the metal at 20,000 feet per second and at the temperatures as high as 30,000 degrees Fahrenheit creating a fairly clean cut or with little slag.

If you boost a gas normally a compressed air to extremely high temperatures, you will get plasma. In this process the compressed air is blown at high speed out of a nozzle. An electrical arc generated by the torch electrode will be forced through that gas and turning some of that gas to plasma. The force of the plasma flow then literally blows out the molten area on the workpiece, leaving only a smooth clean edge behind or with a little slag. Plasma can also be used for plasma arc welding and other applications.

A CNC Plasma Cutter has a similar operation with a plotter and controls by a computer. It has three axes X, Y and Z. Stepper motor or servo motor will drive each axis and work together, going forward & backward, left & right and up & down in perfect synchronization to produce shapes of virtually any design.
