Plasma Cutting Machine

Plasma cutting (plasma arc cutting) is a melting process in which a jet of ionised gas at temperatures above 20,000°C is used to melt and expel material from the cut. During the process, an electric arc is struck between an electrode (cathode) and the workpiece (anode).A “CNC plasma” system is a machine that carries a plasma torch and can move that torch in a path directed by a computer. The term “CNC” refers to “Computer Numerical Control”, which means that a computer is used to direct the machine's motion based on numerical codes in a program.Plasma cutting machines are machines that are used to cut metals that are good conductors of electricity, through an accelerated jet of hot plasma instead of mechanically cutting it. Depending on the material, plasma cutting can be done through compressed air or other gases.
