Core features:
High temperature and high speed: The plasma arc temperature can reach 10,000-30,000℃, and the cutting speed is fast
Conductive cutting: Cutting by using the conductivity of metal
Gas medium: Compressed air, nitrogen, argon, etc. are used as working gases
Widely applicable: Can cut various conductive metal materials
Main advantages
1. Cutting ability advantage
Strong thick plate cutting ability: Can cut carbon steel plates with a thickness of up to 150mm (compared to laser cutting, which is usually ≤30mm)
Wide material adaptability: Can cut highly reflective materials such as stainless steel, carbon steel, aluminum, and copper (highly reflective materials that are difficult to cut by laser)
No preheating required: Can directly cut rusty, painted or oxide-layered materials
2. Economic advantages
Low equipment cost: About 1/3-1/2 of the same cutting capacity fiber laser cutting machine
Low cost of use: Low power consumption, gas cost is lower than laser cutting
Simple maintenance: Relatively simple structure, low maintenance cost
3. Operational advantages
Strong portability: There are handheld models, suitable for on-site operations
Quick startup: No need for preheating, it can be used immediately after turning on
Strong environmental adaptability: Can work in harsh environments
Typical application scenarios
Heavy industry: shipbuilding, pressure vessels, heavy machinery
Construction industry: steel structure processing, metal frame production
