When it comes to cutting metal plate, the two most popular methods have always been plasma and laser. Both methods offer many benefits over conventional cutting processes such as oxy-fuel gas cutting and grinding/cutting discs.
Below are 8 reasons why a Swift-Cut plasma table is the most sensible decision.
- As well as being able to cut nearly all metals including box section and perforated plate, plasma can also cut rusty, oily and dirty materials
- Generally increased cut speeds on thicker materials. Our XP table with Hypertherm MaxPro 200 cuts up to 30mm mild steel
- Purchase cost of a Swift-Cut plasma system is considerably less than an equivalent laser setup
- Easier maintenance and reduced servicing costs due to straightforward construction and better access to all moving parts
- Simpler cutting process – no specialist high purity gases required, just compressed air
- Quicker installation – usually only 1 or 2 days from start to finish, including training
- Lower cost production on smaller batch quantities
- It’s generally easier programming over a laser setup. The 4-step process is simply:
- Import CAD drawing
- Select material type and thickness
- Nest parts
- And cut.
