What plasma cutting is? Talking about the plasma cutting again.cnc plasma & flame cutting machine (2)

Plasma cutting is a metal indentation that uses heat from high temperature plasma arcs to melt processed work pieces.

Plasma cutting is a processing method that uses the heat of a high-temperature plasma arc to melt the metal indentation of the processed work piece and discharge the melted metal chips with plasma momentum. Plasma cutting can be combined with a variety of working gases to achieve oxygen cutting difficult to achieve technical cutting, especially in non-ferrous metals such as stainless steel, aluminum, copper and other aspects of cutting. Compared with the oxygen cutting speed, the cutting quality is good. Plasma cutting is widely used in automobiles, locomotives, pressure vessels, chemical machinery and other industries. Commonly used plasma cutting plasma arc working gases are: argon, hydrogen, nitrogen and so on.


Plasma cutting methods include ordinary plasma cutting and air plasma cutting, as well as water compression plasma cutting.


The plasma cutting system consists of a gas supply device, a water supply device, a power supply, and a cutting gun. The gas supply device is an air compressor larger than 1.5kw, and the airborne voltage of the cutting power supply is 350V-400V. Plasma cutting has a large cutting thickness, cutting flexibility, clip work parts simple and curve cutting.


        Plasma cutting safety protection

        1 The cutting part is carried out under water to avoid toxic fumes.

        2 Avoid looking directly at the plasma arc, protect the eyes and prevent burns.

3 Pay attention to ventilation and wear multi-layer filter masks. Wear towels, gloves, etc. to prevent skin burns.

4 Plasma arc cutting produces high-frequency electromagnetic radiation.


        Plasma cutting machine is the use of plasma cutting technology to process metal materials machinery. Plasma heated to extremely high temperature is ionized into a gas, the arc is transferred to the work piece, the molten chemical part is blown out, forming a plasma arc cutting state.
