Gas / Plasma cutting

Plasma/Gas cutting machine (profile cutting) with a table size of 2000 × 6000 mm, capable of cutting material up to 150 mm thick.

Plasma cutting is a high-speed thermal cutting process that uses an ionized gas jet (plasma) heated to over 20,000 °C to melt through metal. The molten material is then blown away by the gas stream, creating a clean and narrow cut.

  • High cutting speed – 2–4 times faster than oxy-fuel cutting, especially on thin to medium thickness materials.
  • Excellent cut quality – narrow kerf, minimal heat-affected zone, and clean edges.
  • Versatile material compatibility – cuts steel, stainless steel, aluminum, and non-ferrous metals.
  • Cost-effective – lower consumable and operating costs compared to laser (on thicker materials).

Oxy-Fuel Cutting Process

Oxy-fuel cutting is a thermal cutting method that uses a combination of oxygen and fuel gases (such as acetylene, propane, or natural gas) to cut through ferrous metals. The process begins by heating the metal surface to its ignition temperature with a high-temperature flame. Once the material is sufficiently heated, a stream of pure oxygen is directed onto the heated area, causing rapid oxidation and burning of the metal.

This technique is widely used for cutting thick steel plates and profiles, offering:

  • High cutting capacity for carbon steel up to several hundred millimeters thick.
  • Cost-effectiveness for heavy-duty applications.
  • Versatility in construction, shipbuilding, and metal fabrication industries.

Oxy-fuel cutting is ideal for operations requiring precision on large workpieces and is often combined with CNC systems for automated profile cutting.
