Technology Supplies unveils new plasma CNC cutter
TECHNOLOGY Supplies Ltd have recently added a plasma CNC metal cutting machine to its CNC range of equipment available solely to schools, engineering colleges and universities. Slicing its way through 0–6mm
or up to 12mm (with an upgraded plasma torch) mild steel, the air plasma machine uses the market leading 13 amp hypertherm powermax 30 plasma system, offering high quality profiling, reliability and cost effective cutting. The range of plasma machines
has been specifically developed for the educational sector, available in three bed sizes – 1,000 x 500, 1,000 x 750 and 1,250 x 1,250mm. Prices start from £17,500, with dust extraction and compressor. The TSL CNC Plasma,
according to Technology Supplies,
has many advantages: lThe machine is housed in an interlocked protective cabinet, fully enclosed for guaranteed safety and peace of mind, with viewing windows for students to
monitor their work l Its CNC system controller offers a user-friendly yet powerful operating system for both CNC beginners and expert users. The controller is ergonomically mounted in the machine frame to reduce the overall footprint of the machine, reducing the amount of space taken up in an engineering workshop
lThe TSL plasma machine package includes delivery, installation and training. Technical support and service visits are available to the British-built machine and each holds a
standard two-year warranty l Full compliance to HSG258 (Educational Health & Safety), energy efficient and low running costs.
technology Plasma There are two types of plasma
technology – air plasma and multi-gas plasma. Conventional air plasma uses compressed air to produce the plasma arc. This is the cheapest and most popular profiling system and offers cutting capacities up to 20mm.Air plasma is ideal for carbon steels and has the capacity to profile stainless steels. It is a relatively inexpensive capital outlay and offers user-friendly operation. In comparison, high definition
multi-gas plasma utilises air, nitrogen and other gas blends to produce a defined plasma arc for precision cutting.While initially expensive, the running costs (electricity and consumables) are a fraction of the cost of conventional plasma systems. It offers excellent cut quality for carbon and stainless steels as well as alloys and is very fast and inexpensive to operate, maintains Technology Supplies.
