Plasma Cutting
Our high-definition plasma cutting machine brings your custom designs to life. Whether you need a specialized part or a decorative piece, we’ve got you covered. The video below showcases the cutting process for a custom flange precisely fitting a 20” standard wall pipe. We routinely create small and large-scale decorative pieces, including custom nameplates and intricate structural and decorative archways.
What is Plasma Cutting?
Plasma cutting is a process that utilizes a high-velocity jet of ionized gas, or plasma, to cut through electrically conductive materials.
How Plasma Cutting Works
- Ionization of Gas: A plasma cutter generates an electric arc through a gas that passes through a constricted opening.
- Creation of Plasma: The electric arc ionizes the gas, creating plasma reaching extremely high temperatures (up to 30,000°F).
- Cutting the Material: The high-velocity plasma jet melts the material and blows the molten metal away from the cut, leaving a clean and precise edge.
Why Choose Plasma Cutting?
Plasma cuts are clean, precise, and reproducible. The heat-affected zone is small compared to oxy-fuel cutting, creating a surface that maintains its metallurgy and welding surface, especially in alloyed steels.
- Ideal for Various Industries: Plasma cutting can meet your construction, automotive repair, or metal fabrication needs. Its ability to handle different materials and thicknesses makes it suitable for various applications.
- Improved Efficiency and Productivity: With its high speed and precision, plasma cutting reduces the time needed for each project, allowing businesses to increase their output and meet tight deadlines.
- High-Quality Results: High-quality cuts are crucial for any manufacturing process. Plasma cutting ensures reliable and repeatable results.
