General fabricators and job shops

Hypertherm plasma systems are vital tools for general fabricators and job shops, allowing operators to quickly cut a variety of different material types and thicknesses, for virtually any project.

 

A plasma solution for every fabricating job

Mechanized plasma systems are ideal for complex cuts with excellent cut quality, optimal productivity, and flexibility. Portable, versatile handheld plasma systems are also used in the plant and on the job site for a wide range of tasks, including constructing and framing walls for buildings, cast iron pipe construction and repair, and tank and vessel fabrication.

Typical uses include:

  • Fabrication of custom equipment

  • Cutting both large and small parts

  • Counter and cabinet fabrication for commercial kitchens

  • Duct fabrication

  • Wastewater plant repair – bar screens, piping, hoppers, and vessels

  • Roof truss fabrication

  • Decking fabrication

Bevel cutting

Bevel cutting is cutting a part with an edge not perpendicular to the top of the piece. It is typically used to prepare plates or pipes for welding. Bevels can be cut at different angles and configurations, resulting in varying edge profiles.

Hole cutting

Many fabrication processes require cutting holes to bolt two or more pieces or parts together, so hole production is an important part of most cutting operations. Multiple holes can be cut into a large plate, pipe, or drum with plasma.

Gouging

Plasma gouging – removing metal using a plasma arc – is similar to plasma cutting. A plasma arc between the torch and the workpiece melts the metal, and a gas jet blows away the molten material.

Scrap cutting

Plasma cutting can be instrumental in salvaging various thicknesses of scrap metal from old appliances, industrial equipment, cars, and other items as an important part of the lifecycle of raw materials. It minimizes waste, maximizes the value of manufactured goods, and significantly reduces environmental impact.
