This automated fabrication equipment utilizes a high-temperature, electrically conductive gas (plasma) to precisely cut through metal tubing. The process involves constricting the plasma arc through a nozzle, generating sufficient heat to melt and expel molten material, creating a clean cut. A common application is the precise and rapid creation of components for metal structures, such as frames for buildings and vehicles.
The advantages of this technology include high speed, exceptional accuracy, and the ability to work with various tube diameters and materials. Compared with traditional mechanical cutting methods, this automated process drastically reduces production time and improves consistency, contributing to significant cost savings and enhanced quality control. Its development has revolutionized metal fabrication, enabling the creation of complex designs with greater efficiency.
