CNC plasma cutting is used to cut through metals like copper, aluminium, steel and other materials. It is a popular metal fabrication technique offering high precision cutting, cost-effectiveness and repeatability. In this blog, we discuss what CNC plasma cutting is and its components.
What is CNC Plasma Cutting?
Computer Numerical Controlled (CNC) plasma cutting is a fabrication method that uses ionised gases heated up to 20000 °c to melt metals. The gas is ejected under high pressure, which melts the metal material and precisely removes the material from the cut. The CNC plasma cutting machine works only on electrically conductive materials such as copper, aluminium, stainless steel and other metals. Plasma cutting does not work on stone, glass, paper and other such poor conductors of electricity. Looking for CNC plasma cutting service in Vadodara?

Components of CNC Plasma Cutting
Compressed Gas
Compressed gases like oxygen, nitrogen, argon or blends are used to push the plasma out of the CNC plasma cutting machine through the nozzle to precisely cut the metal.
Torch
In this, two types of torches are used. One, a high-frequency spark system (HFSS) and a moving-contact start-pilot arch system (MCSP). The HFSS uses high-voltage electricity to create the parts. This torch is equipped with a transformer, capacitors and a spark-gap assembly. The MCSP system is used for sensitive electronics.
Nozzle
This pushes the plasma stream and controls the direction and precision of cuts.
Plasma Stream
Plasma stream is the cutting medium with hot gas of up to 20000 °c coming out of the nozzle & blasted into the workpiece, melting the metal & cutting through it.
CNC System
CNC technology offers precise calculations, quicker, easier-to-use and better efficiency than conventional plasma cutters.
CNC Machine
The CNC machine keeps everything together. These machines are quick, reduce material wastage, are accurate and offer consistent cuts.
