PLASMA CUTTING
Plasma cutting offers a range of advantages over other forms of metal cutting. Plasma cutting is highly versatile, able to cut any electrically conductive material and almost any kind of custom shape with precision.
By utilizing CNC technology, plasma cutting equipment creates holes, slots, custom parts, and more. If you’re looking for a quick turnaround, plasma cutting is a fast and efficient process. It can also be performed on a range of thicknesses. Our plasma cutting equipment is able to cut plate and sheet products rated to 3/4″ thickness. When you send your drawings over to our skilled processing team, we’ll carefully pull and cut the sheet or plate to match your project’s specifications.

THE BASICS: HOW PLASMA CUTTING WORKS
Plasma cutting, also known as plasma arc cutting, utilizes a process similar to welding. After an electrode forms an electric arc between an electrode and the metal, a gas nozzle fires a stream of ionized gas. The electric arc heats the gas to more than 20,000°C, creating a narrow, high-pressure blast of plasma. When the plasma makes contact with the metal, the plasma reverts to a high-temperature gas, which then cuts the metal. This process is also often referred to as burning.
