2. The Significance of CNC Strip Plate Cutting Machine: 

1) CNC Plate Cutting Machine is the basic and indispensable 1^st operation equipment applied in nearly all the manufacturing industries, making parts in required contour and sizes for the next step of process technology;
2) CNC Strip Plate Cutting Machine sees rapid growth over the last decades. Before the advent of CNC Plate Cutting Machine, metal plate cutting was made by manual job, which was not only in low efficiency, but also with out of control accuracy;
3) With the introduction of CNC Strip Plate Cutting Machine, metal plate in both strip cutting and shape cutting becomes highly efficient, with the best degree of precision delivered in consistent and controllable manner.

CNC Plate Cutting Machine incorporates numerical control, thermal cutting and ingenious mechanical design into one equipment. The primary units that consist of the machine are:

1. Mechanical System in the CNC Strip Plate Cutting Machine:

1) This is the main body and trunk of the CNC Plate Cutting Machine. During working, its traveling along the cutting rails realizes the X/Y axis two dimensional shape cutting on metal plate;
2) Most Majority of the CNC Flame Cutting Machine and CNC Plasma Cutting Machine have its main frame in the form of box structure gantry, which is driven with servo motors at both sides;
3) In any set of the CNC Plate Cutting Machine, each piece of cutting torch is installed onto carriage, which in turn assembled onto horizontal beam of the gantry, and can move leftward and rightward under servo motor drive. This is X axis movement in the CNC Plate Cutting Machine.

2. Cutting Rails and Platform in CNC Plate Cutting Machine:

1) During working, mechanical gantry main body moves along the 15m (Standard length in configuration of CNC Strip Plate Cutting Machine, can be special made) cutting rail in working speed of cutting. The linearity of cutting rails along its whole length affects cutting quality of the CNC Strip Plate Cutting Machine in large degree;
2) Workpiece (Metal plate) is laid on cutting platform.

3. CNC and Control System in CNC Strip Plate Cutting Machine:

1) CNC is “soul” in any set of CNC Plate Cutting Machine: It creates cutting program, converts into action command, sends out commanding signal to execution cells of the CNC Plate Cutting Machine, monitors and corrects the entire cutting process all the while;
2) There are several brands of CNC controller to choose from, which are dedicated control system applied in CNC Plate Cutting Machine.

4. Flame and Plasma Cutting System in CNC Plate Cutting Machine:

1) For CNC Flame Cutting Machine, this includes Oxygen and Acetylene/ Propane circuit, cutting gas regulating panel, cutting gas integral control group, capacitance style cutting torch height controller;
2) For CNC Plasma Cutting Machine, this includes plasma power supply, arc voltage cutting torch height controller.

Outline on History and Usage of CNC Flame Cutting Machine:

1. CNC Flame Cutting Machine is the first type of CNC Plate Cutting Machine developed. It utilizes Oxygen as main cutting gas, assisted with either Acetylene or Propane;

2. Applicable Workpiece of CNC Flame Cutting Machine:

1) CNC Flame Cutting Machine is most suitable for cutting carbon steel plate, and not good at cutting non-ferrous material such as stainless steel, Al, etc.;
2) For cutting thick steel plate, especially thickness above 50mm, currently CNC Flame Cutting Machine is the only feasible solution;

3. Advantage of CNC Flame Cutting Machine:

1) The most salient feature with CNC Flame Cutting Machine is its cost effectiveness. Compared with other branch of CNC Plate Cutting Machine, be it CNC Plasma Cutting Machine or laser cutting, CNC Flame Cutting Machine has the lowest quotation on equipment purchase;
2) Besides, without any consumables as in the case of CNC Plasma Cutting Machine or laser cutting, the running cost of CNC Flame Cutting Machine is also the lowest: Only electricity and cutting gas consumption;

4. Disadvantage of CNC Flame Cutting Machine:

1) Cutting speed of CNC Flame Cutting Machine is low compared with other types of CNC Plate Cutting Machine, which is in the range of 100 ~ 1000mm/min. in theory, and practically around 500~ 600mm/min. for good performance;
2) Cutting kerf delivered from CNC Flame Cutting Machine usually has fairly amount of slags, which need to be trimmed off if strict smoothness of cutting edge is demanded;

5. Subdivision on CNC Flame Cutting Machine:

Based on primary function, CNC Flame Cutting Machine has 3 sub-groups of:
1) CNC Strip Plate Cutting Machine: For performing both shape cutting and strip cutting;
2) Strip Plate Cutting Machine: For flame strip cutting only;
3) Triple Plate Cutting Machine: For making edge beveling by means of triple cutting specifically;
These 3 kinds of CNC Flame Cutting Machine can be manufactured individually, or with function integration into one set of CNC Plate Cutting Machine.

4. Below are main parameters of standard models of CNC Flame Cutting Machine:

Outline on History and Usage of CNC Plasma Cutting Machine:

1. CNC Plasma Cutting Machine was developed following CNC Flame Cutting Machine. The reasons behind that are three:

1) Expand material of metal plate available for cutting in the CNC Plate Cutting Machine from carbon steel only to more versatile type: Stainless steel, Brass, Al, etc.;

2) Get smooth cutting kerf of workpiece;
3) Get much higher productivity in plate cutting than CNC Flame Cutting Machine;

2. Working Manner of CNC Plasma Cutting machine:

1) CNC Plasma Cutting Machine shares the same type of mechanical frame as CNC Flame Cutting machine;
2) The plasma cutting system: Plasma Power supply, cutting torch, and consumables are outsourced parts of the CNC Plate Cutting Machine, which is flexible in selection, composition, and upgrade;

3. Advantage of CNC Plasma Cutting Machine:

The above description on origin of the CNC Plasma Cutting Machine also gives its competitiveness for attention: More choice on cutting material, smooth cutting edge, and high cutting speed;

4. Limitation of CNC Plasma Cutting Machine:

1) CNC Plasma Cutting Machine is only applicable for cutting thin and medium thickness metal plate. The optimum performance is available in the scope of 1mm ~ 35mm. In theory 35mm ~ 50mm can be made;
2) Running cost of CNC Plasma Cutting Machine is high due to numerous kinds of consumables (Nozzle, cap, electrode...);
3) There are certain amounts of fumes and light generated during working of the CNC Plasma Cutting Machine, which has more negative impact on operator of the equipment;
4) Budget of equipment purchase on CNC Plasma Cutting Machine is also obviously higher than CNC Flame Cutting Machine;

5. Subdivision on CNC Plasma Cutting Machine:

1) Like other types of CNC Plate Cutting Machine, majority of the CNC Plasma Cutting Machine is in the form of gantry style;
2) Besides, there are certain percentage of “High end” CNC Plasma Cutting Machine: Underwater type for the purpose of user friendly operation, and CG1500 Table type for getting the top degree of cutting precision. These configurations are specialty of plasma CNC Plate Cutting Machine.

Outline on Application of CNC Plate Cutting and Drilling Machine:

1. CNC Plate Cutting and Drilling Machine is integration of CNC Plate Cutting Machine and CNC Plate Drilling Machine. So, one equipment can fulfil both shape cutting and positioning drilling on steel plate;
2. Shape cutting can be both flame cutting and plasma cutting; Drilling is implemented with mechanical drilling head;
3. Water cooling system should be equipped into the CNC Plate Cutting and Drilling Machine.

Specifications of CNC Plate Cutting and Drilling Machine:

1. As mentioned at the beginning of this page, CNC Strip Plate Cutting Machine is applied across Industries and Application Sites: Where there is consumption of metal plate, especially carbon steel plate, there is CNC Plate Cutting Machine;
2. In Steel Structure Facility, CNC Strip Plate Cutting Machine is deployed at beginning of line: H Beam Production Line, or T Beam Production Line, or BOX Beam Production Line;
3. CNC Plate Cutting Machine also works with various independent equipment: H Beam Fabrication Machine, or Edge Milling Machine, or Edge Rounding Machine;
4. CNC Strip Plate Cutting Machine is reverse equipment of Plate Butt Joint Welding Machine in terms of process technology. Working as a group, the two types of equipment can produce finished steel plate with required dimension from original size.
