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.
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.
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.
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.
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;
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;
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;
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;
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.
