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.
Robotic cutting
Robotic cutting systems support your most complex projects. Combined with robot programming, robotic plasma cutting dramatically improves efficiency by increasing cut speeds, cut quality, and production in low-volume runs — returning hundreds of hours to your business.
