Our Equipment
Our new Victory CNC Plasma machine is a versatile and powerful tool capable of cutting nearly any metal into intricate shapes with an exceptional finish, providing an economically superior solution compared to other processes, given that tolerances are within acceptable limits. This advanced machine is equipped with a [XPR300 Hypertherm](https://www.hypertherm.com/en-US/hypertherm/xpr/xpr300/) unit, ensuring clean, precise cuts and is supported by state-of-the-art software.
Beyond its capacity for 5′ x 10′ plate cutting, the CNC Plasma features two significant upgrades. The first upgrade is a drill collet mounted parallel to the plasma torch, allowing for precision drilling of holes in addition to plasma cutting. This integration streamlines operations by eliminating the need for a second machine, thereby reducing processing and setup time.
Furthermore, the machine boasts 4-axis capability, a feature that opens up versatile cutting options for both round and square tubing. With this capability, users can achieve a wide range of shapes and angles with the same level of precision as plate cutting. This flexibility makes the Victory CNC Plasma an invaluable asset for complex projects that demand both accuracy and efficiency.
Whether you’re handling simple cuts or intricate designs, our CNC Plasma cutter is designed to meet and exceed your expectations, boosting both the quality and productivity of your operations.
What is CNC Plasma Cutting?
CNC plasma cutting is a highly efficient fabrication process that employs a computer-controlled machine to slice through electrically conductive materials, such as metal, using a high-velocity plasma arc. At the heart of this process is the plasma cutter, a device that generates a high-temperature plasma arc capable of cutting through metal with remarkable accuracy and precision. This method is widely adopted across various industries, including aerospace, automotive, and manufacturing, for its ability to produce complex shapes and designs with ease. By leveraging the power of CNC plasma cutting, businesses can achieve high-quality cuts and intricate designs that meet stringent industry standards.
Key Components of CNC Plasma Cutting
A CNC plasma cutting system is composed of several key components that work in harmony to deliver precise and efficient cuts:
- Plasma Cutter: The core device that generates the high-temperature plasma arc, essential for cutting through metal.
- CNC System: The computer-controlled system that orchestrates the movement of the plasma cutter and manages the cutting process.
- Plasma Table: A stable platform that holds the metal workpiece securely in place during cutting operations.
- Design Software: Specialized software used to create the design or pattern that the plasma cutter will follow, ensuring accuracy and consistency.
- Compatible Cutters: Plasma cutters that are specifically designed to be compatible with the CNC system and plasma table, ensuring seamless integration and optimal performance.
These components collectively enable the CNC plasma cutting process to deliver high-quality results with precision and efficiency.
