CNC Plasma

What Is A CNC Plasma Cutting Machine?

A CNC plasma cutting machine is one that uses a jet of ionized gas running at temperatures over 20,000°C to make precise cuts in a range of materials. The plasma passes through the material by melting a path, and with a CNC, this process can be made very precise.

CNC stands for ‘computer numerical control’ – it’s a system that uses gas, optics, and a guidance system to move a cutting or drilling implement across a material. While the concept of a CNC has been around for a long time now, the expression of that concept has seen continual refinement over its 50 odd year history.

CNC machines are brilliant in a variety of sheet metal fabrication applications. And the modern workshop tends to see a CNC joining the more traditional press brakes, punch and sheer machines, guillotines and sheet and plate curving rolls as an indispensable bit of high-tech kit.
