PNC12 - Gas And Plasma CNC Profile Cutting Machine

Profile cutting is the art of cutting out materials, mainly metals, to precise measurements and shapes. Profile cutting is used a lot in the construction industry. There are different forms of profile cutting including: Water Jet Cutting. Plasma Cutting.The process is as follows: A fuel gas flame brings the material up to its ignition temperature (816oC for steel) A jet of oxygen (at least 99.5% pure) is blown onto the heated spot. The oxygen jet oxidises the metal, and as the torch moves it creates a narrow cutting kerf, splitting the material.A CNC plasma machine uses a plasma cutter to cut thin to thick metals along a multi-axis grid. The CNC method provides an advantage over handheld plasma cutting tools due to the cut being programmed and controlled by a computer instead of human motion.
