Plasma Bevel Cutting

In shipbuilding and other heavy-fabrication industries, precise bevel cuts are significant in the production of parts for welded assemblies. Messer Cutting Systems India Pvt Ltd makes bevel cutting easy and economical. Program-controlled torches can be moved on multiple axes, while the advanced height control systems allow extremely precise bevel tolerances. Plasma bevel cutting enables us to cut parts to size and bevel the edges in one step. This cuts your manufacturing costs by removing or reducing downstream processing. Most shapes can be bevelled, including rectangles, circles, and parts created in a CAD program. Bevelling can be performed on plate up to 3.0" (76.2mm) thick, plus or minus 52 degrees, knife edge or with a land. Factory tested and easily implemented, it takes the guesswork out of the plasma bevel-cutting process. There are almost continuous possibilities, including bevel systems that allow automatic cutting of special bevels and programmable w...

Thermal Cutting Dust Collection

Thermal cutting generates particulate that has to be filtered. Material removed during cutting generates slag, smoke and fine, thermally created particles. Slag typically drops to the bottom of the table floor, while smoke and fine particles rise above the work piece unless adequate downward airflow—generated by the dust collection system—overcomes the thermal rise. Particles can range from sub-micron to dozens of microns in size, and controlling them requires a properly selected and installed filtration system. System designs are based on the cutting environment and process parameters. A large plasma table has different airflow requirements than a small laser table. Plasma cutting generates different particle-size ranges than laser cutting. Even related functions, such as automated material loading systems, affect system designs because of increased cutting time. These factors are into design requirements just as much as material type and thickness, cutting kerf widths, and p...

The most important method for Laser Cutting

Fusion Cutting In the laser fusion cutting, the work piece is partially melted and the molten material is ejected by airflow. Because the transfer of the material occurs only in its liquid state, the process is called laser fusion cutting. The laser beam is accompanied by a high purity inert cutting gas that causes the melted material to leave the slot, and the gas itself does not participate in the cutting. Laser fusion cutting can achieve higher cutting speed than gasification. The energy required for gasification is usually higher than the energy required to melt the material. The maximum cutting speed increases with the increase of laser power, and decreases with the increase of plate thickness and the material melting temperature. In the case of laser power under a certain level, the limiting factor is the air pressure at the slot and the thermal conductivity of the material. The laser fusion cutting can get no oxidation incision for iron s...

CNC Plasma Machine Cutting Configurations

CNC Plasma Cutting capability can be classified into 3 main groups which can be found  2D Plasma Cutting It generates flat profiles from plate or sheet, with straight cut edges at 90 Degrees to the profile surface. Typically, high powered Plasma Cutting beds are configured in this way, giving the largest depth of cut of between 100-150mm. 3D Plasma Cutting Similar to 2D Plasma Cutting as well as commonly referred to as flat-bed Plasma Cutting, this variation adds a third dimension through the introduction of an angular cut or bevelled edge through the sheet or plate material. Typically, High Definition Plasma Cutting beds are configured in this way, giving the greatest flexibility, accuracy and / or speed. Tube & Section Plasma Cutting The stock material & the cutting axes are the major changes and enhancements in comparison with flat-bed Plasma Cutting. The Plasma Cutting Head is typically stationary whilst the section or pipe is plann...
