GC1313P Plasma Cutting Machine

How Does A Plasma Sheet Metal Cutting Machine Work?

Now that you know the components and their functionalities it will be easier to understand the working process of the machine. So, how does a plasma sheet metal cutting machine work?

Here is the step-by-step process of CNC plasma cutting.

Step 1. Design and Programming

The process begins with creating a digital design using CAD (Computer-Aided Design) software. The CAD design is then converted into a format that the CNC machine can understand, typically G-code.

Step 2. Setting Up the Machine

The sheet metal is placed on the cutting table. The operator sets up the CNC machine by loading the G-code. The table size (4x8) allows for handling large sheets.

Step 3. Initiating the Cut

Start the plasma arc. The arc is established between the electrode and the metal workpiece. The plasma arc melts the material and pierces the metal at the starting point of the cut.

Step 4. Cutting the Metal

The CNC control system directs the movement of the plasma torch. As the torch moves, the plasma arc melts the metal along the cutting path.

Step 5. Finishing the Cut

The plasma torch retracts, and the CNC machine stops after the cutting is complete. The parts are now ready for removal.

Machine standard configurations for your reference:

1. 1300*1300mm, 1500*3000mm, 1500*4000mm, 2000*4000mm working area

2. START control system

3. USA Hypertherm plasma generator, or China Huayuan LGK generator

4. Cutting Material Collection Box with wheels,for easy take out products

5. High Quality cut performance,Fast cutting speed,high precision and low cost.

6. With firm and reasonable structure,the machine is easy to operate and durable for use.

7. The cutting incision is thin and tidily and can avoid the second processing.

8. High configurated CNC system,auto arc-striking and stable performance.

9. Working with computer and support G code and files of Uncannest software (specilized in cutting metal material) (optional Fastcam software)

10. It can cut metal plate of advertising 3D lighting letter and flute profile letter with high cutting precision.(USA power is optional)

Advantages

1. The beam uses light structural design, with good rigidity structure, light dead weight and small movement inertia.

2. The gantry structure, X, Y axis all adopt straight rail that make the machine driving smoothly with high-precision.

3. Aiming at cutting three dimension LED character, trough metal panels and floor cutting, the accuracy can reach good.

4. The CNC plasma cutting table is equipped with other advertise equipment, forming the advertising word processing pipe line. Completely solve the traditional manual processing methods. Improve the efficiency of several times.

5. The cutting mouth is small, tidy, and avoid a second dressing processing.

6. The CNC plasma cutting table is used to cut iron sheet, aluminium sheet, galvanized sheet, hundred steel plates, sheet metals and so on.

7. High cutting speed, high precision, low cost.

8. The numerical control system disposes high, the automatic striking arc, the performance is stable.

9. The plasma cutting machine supports Wentai, Astronautics Haire, ARTCAM softwares.

10. The control system uses the U-disk exchange processing document, easy to operate.
