Plasma for pipe cutting
Pipe plasma is a modern technology used in industry for precise and fast metal cutting. The method is particularly valued for its high efficiency and accuracy, making it ideal for machining metal pipes in a variety of industries, such as the steel industry, metal construction and the automotive industry. Plasma tube cutting ensures obtaining even, smooth cut edges, which is crucial in the production of precision parts.
How does plasma cutting work?
Pipe cutting plasma is a process in which a jet of plasma at very high temperatures (over 20,000°C) is used to fuse and remove material from the workpiece. In the case of pipe cutting, the plasma acts on the metal to create a precision cut. The technology uses ionized gas (usually air, nitrogen or argon), which is transformed into plasma at high pressure and directed at the workpiece. As a result of the high temperature, the metal is melted and removed, leaving a smooth, even edge.
Benefits of plasma pipe cutting
-
Precision - Pipe plasma cutting guarantees high accuracy and a small cutting width, allowing complex and fine shapes to be made and minimizing material waste.
-
Speed - Pipe plasma cutting is a fast and efficient method, which significantly speeds up the cutting process, thereby reducing production costs.
-
Material flexibility - CNC plasma cutting works well for machining a wide range of materials, including stainless steel, carbon steel, aluminum and other metal alloys. With this technology, materials of various thicknesses can be cut, from thin sheets to thicker profiles and pipes.
-
Minimal distortion - Thanks to the precise controlled cutting temperature, plasma minimizes material distortion, which is especially important when machining thin tubes.
-
No contact with the material - Plasma cutting takes place without physical contact between the tool and the workpiece, eliminating the risk of mechanical damage or scratches.
-
Versatility - Metal cutting plasmas allow cutting of pipes of different diameters and shapes (round, rectangular, elliptical), making it an extremely versatile method in industrial production.
- The metal cutting plasmas are a versatile method of cutting metal.
