Cutting Tolerance |
The standard tolerance level for plasma cutting ranges between 0.1 to 0.2mm. This tolerance level depends majorly on the size of the part and general requirements. However, at UTM, we adjust our tolerance levels to match our customer’s requirements. |
|
Cutting Area |
The cutting area for thin sheet aluminum of up to 4mm thickness is 1000 x 2000mm, 1250 x 2500 mm, and 1500 x 3000mm. While cutting area for thick sheets of steel over 4mm thickness is 1500 x 3000mm, 2000 x 3000mm, 1500 x 6000mm |
What is Plasma Cutting?
Plasma cutting uses a superheated plasma jet to quickly cut conductive materials up to 6" thick, outperforming CNC laser cutters in speed and cost for large sheet metal parts. However, it struggles with holes and intricate details, which laser cutters handle better. Plasma cutting reduces production times and costs while maintaining accuracy, making it ideal for industries processing large metal parts, but may not suit fine details or small holes.
How Plasma Cutters Work
In plasma cutting, energy and heat transform gas into plasma, which is accelerated out of the torch towards the conductive workpiece. The plasma completes an electrical arc with the workpiece, similar to Electrical Discharge Machines (EDMs). Plasma cutting machines use electricity to generate intense heat, melting and cutting the material along the path while blowing away molten metal. This efficient process works on various conductive materials and is essential for metal fabrication, automotive manufacturing, and construction industries.
Why Use Plasma Cutting For Your Parts?
Plasma cutters are a versatile and cost-effective tool for sheet metal fabrication, offering a balance of speed and efficiency. While they may not have the material diversity of waterjet cutters or the precision of laser cutters, plasma machines excel at processing larger parts and thicker materials. They are user-friendly and maintain precision at high speeds.
Sheet metal is an economical choice for fabricating device panels, boxes, cases, and enclosures in various styles, including rackmounts, "U" and "L" shapes, consoles, and consolets. Our company specializes in constructing high-quality, customized enclosures using state-of-the-art equipment and techniques. We deliver projects on time and within budget, whether you need a single prototype or large-scale production run. Choose our services for a cost-effective, efficient, and flexible solution for your enclosure needs.
