Metal Master 2.0 Plasma Cutting Performance

Cutting plates and bringing them into the required shape is a daily task in many branches of industry. In such a competitive market to give economic advantages for oneself and the client is most valuable & preferable. If the cutting machine is then also working in your own factory then a time advantage is also confirmed. “However, what often acts as a disincentive for investment: most machines take up a lot of space in the production hall. We have re-engineered our classic Metal Master 2.0 as a compact, but no less productive.   Compact Performer About 30 square meters area – that is all it needs to process plates up to 3,0 x1,5 m economically using plasma or oxyfuel technology in your own workshop. The machine is, however, not just compact but also quickly, easy to install and ready to use. Through the combination of oxyfuel & plasma cutting processes the MetalMaster 2.0 covers a wide spectrum of materials to be processed and tasks. The torches can move over...

CO2 Laser Cutting

The CO2 laser (carbon dioxide laser) is produced in a gas mixture, which mostly consists of carbon dioxide (CO2), helium and nitrogen. Such a laser is electrically pumped using an electric discharge. CO2 lasers typically discharge at a wavelength of 10.6μm. Those utilized for material processing can generate beams of many kilowatts in power. The wall-plug efficiency of CO2 lasers is about 10%, which is higher than for most lamp-pumped solid-state lasers (eg ND:YAG lasers), but lower than for many diode-pumped lasers . A CO2 laser can cut thicker materials (>5mm) faster than a fiber laser of the same power. It also generates a smoother surface finish when cutting thicker materials. Laser cutting of sheet metals historically initiated with CO2 lasers. Most CO2 laser cutting machines are three-axis systems (X-Y, two-dimensional positioning control with a Z-axis height control).There are, however, a number of ways of achieving the X-Y movement: either moving the laser h...
