Knowledge base

Laser or plasma technology

The manufacturers of cutting machines talk about technology comparisons and convince us of the superiority of their solutions over others available on the market. This is only natural from a marketing point of view. However, it is important to consider whether the manufacturer of a technical solution can credibly refer to other solutions on the market and, above all, whether they have sufficient knowledge to be able to make comparisons at all.

 

Preparation for joining, beveling the edges during cutting.

To this day, most factories cut parts perpendicular to the material and then prepare the welding bevels. The process involves transporting the vertically cut piece to a post-processing station where it is beveled using a milling machine, oxy-fuel or plasma torch. It is often also ground. This lengthens the production process, which in turn increases costs.

Ranking list of plasma cutters - 2023/2024

Plasma cutting machines are one of the fastest growing and most efficient methods of cutting metals. There are many parameters that help in choosing the best machine to ensure the desired results in the shortest possible time. The basic factor that needs to be determined before purchasing a machine is the type of metal the cutter will be working with and its thickness. There are now many models on the market that fulfill different criteria. Depending on the application, the ranking of the best models may vary. It is therefore worth looking at the top models from a broader perspective, taking performance, price and economy into account.

Precision, cutting speed and other factors also play a particularly important role. At Eckert Cutting, we know that the individual square tubes differ from each other in many different properties. At Eckert Cutting, we offer you a wide range of different machines for cutting square tubes. These not only guarantee a particularly high level of user convenience and flexibility, but also impress with their high repeat accuracy and impeccable quality.

 

Plasma cutting - what exactly is it?

Plasma cutting is a process for cutting metal by melting and ejecting it from a cutting gap. The entire process is carried out using a special plasma arc that works under the influence of high kinetic energy. For the cutting process to work properly, a glowing arc must be maintained between the material to be cut and the non-melting electrode. The jet of compressed air that flows over the glowing arc causes ionization and therefore a high power density.

Operating costs of the water jet

Waterjet cutting technology is very complex in terms of the variables that make up the operating costs of a machine. The aim of this article is to identify all the factors that affect the operating costs of a machine and to show their influence in relation to each other when the values of the parameters that characterize the variables change.

Innovations for cutting and processing profiles. ESP system and SPA function

The solutions offered by Eckert are changing the quality of profile cutting. The possibilities for cutting, processing and attaching through-holes have improved considerably, and their execution was not yet as precise as it is today.

What is suitable for cutting aluminum?

To cut aluminum, it is best to choose a technology with waterjet or laser cutting. Waterjet cutting is an excellent choice as there is no thermal influence on the material that could lead to metallurgical changes at the cut edge.

What is suitable for cutting basalt?

Basalt is an extremely hard and dense volcanic rock that places special demands on processing. The best technique for cutting basalt is water jet cutting. This process uses a high pressure water jet, which is often reinforced with an abrasive material such as garnet sand, to penetrate the material and produce precise cuts.

 

What is suitable for cutting copper?

The ideal technique for cutting copper is waterjet cutting. By using a fine abrasive and high-pressure water, precise cuts are produced without thermal influence. This is particularly important with copper, as it has a high thermal conductivity, making cutting methods that use heat, such as plasma cutting, less effective.
