Source Metals high definition plasma cutters can cut parts from carbon, alloy, stainless steel, and aluminum at a very attractive cost versus other plate processing methods.
Plasma cutting has no competition when it comes to cutting medium to thick sheets of high alloy steel and aluminum. The cutting process is continuously improved to increase cutting capacity and cut quality.
The Machines
- (2) CNC high definition plasma cutting systems, 200 amp Hypertherm systems, 152" x 276" cutting area, Burny5 CNC control
- (1) CNC high definition plasma cutting system, 200 amp Hypertherm system, 84" x 170" cutting area, Burny5 CNC control
The Capabilities
- Cutting from 20 gauge to 2" thick plate
- Parts produced from carbon, alloy, stainless steel, and aluminum
- Standard tolerance from +/- .020
The Process
Plasma is a high temperature electrically conductive gas. A plasma arc is compressed through a nozzle and moved across the material, blowing away melted metal to create the cut.
The Benefits
- Close tolerance and accurate cutting
- High speed processing
- Superior edge quality versus conventional plasma
