Wuxi JACK CNC Plasma Cutting Machine, the Widely Used Cost Effective and Efficient Tool for Customer!

A. Technical Strength and Strong Points of Plasma CNC Plate Cutting Machine:

1. Usage: CNC Plasma Cutting Machine cuts out sheet metal into finished workpieces of various outline, in high speed and with perfect accuracy:

A set of Wuxi JACK CNC Plasma Cutting Machine cuts on sheet metal plate: (Fig.1)

2. Position: CNC Plasma Cutting Machine was developed on the basis of Flame CNC Plate Cutting Machine. This CNC Plasma Cutter is medium and high end product of flame plasma CNC Cutting Machine, bridging the gap between flame cutting and laser cutting in terms of cost/ roughness, and cutting speed;

3. Technical Characteristics of CNC Plasma Cutting Machine:

1) Available on Cutting All Kinds of Metal Materials: CNC Plasma Cutter is not confined to cut on carbon steel. Instead, plasma CNC Cutting Machine can also be applied to cut on sheet metal of Stainless Steel/ Alloy/ Al/ Bronze ...;
2) With Obviously Higher Cutting Speed than Flame CNC Cutting Machine: The 3000~ 5000 mm/min. cutting velocity of CNC Plasma Cutting Machine can deliver 3~5 times higher productivity compared with Flame CNC Plate Cutting Machine, when cutting on same thickness range of sheet metal;
3) Gloss and Deformation Control on Cutting Kerf: Smaller heat affect area around cutting point of CNC Plasma Cutter, guarantees much smaller deformation of finished product, and nearly no slag effect of cutting kerf. This promises high quality cut out working part delivered from CNC Plasma Cutting Machine;
4) Flexible and the Most Fitting Mechanical Structure: Besides conventional moving gantry frame of CNC Plasma Cutter, CNC Plasma Cutting Machine can also be designed and manufactured into compact stationary table structure for fulfilling high precision cutting performance; Or in the form of underwater CNC Plasma Cutter, to acquire environmental friendly running of CNC Plasma Cutting Machine:

5) Simple Thermal Cutting Gas Tube Routing in CNC Plasma Cutter:

a) In Flame CNC Plate Cutting Machine, there are 3 ways of cutting gas deployment: Preheating Oxygen fuel; Cutting Oxygen fuel; Cutting Acetylene/ Propane, which need to be arranged in both lengthways and transverse direction of over 20m distance along the entire working zone of flame CNC Cutting Machine;
b) Comparatively, CNC Plasma Cutting Machine only involves short distance cable routing from plasma power supply to cutting torch, which is usually within the scope of 5m at the most.

B. Extensive Application of CNC Plasma Cutter CNC Cutting Machine:

1. Applicable Sites: Benefitting from the above listed strong points, CNC Plasma Cutting Machine is usually used for “High End” use of shape cutting, in the applicating sites with strict demand, such as: Shell processing on mechanical and electric products/ advertising logo/ craft decoration, etc.
2. Extended to Drilling Function: Some customers require CNC Plasma Cutter also with mechanical drilling ability, especially for Steel Structure use. To meet this demand, Wuxi JACK successfully develops integrated function CNC Plate Cutting Machine, making it into a set of “CNC Plate Drilling and Cutting Machine”:

C. Cutting Technology being Adopted in CNC Plasma Cutting Machine:

1. Cutting Tool and Principle: CNC Plasma Cutting Machine adopts high speed ionized compressed air as its cutting media, which radiate high temperature electric arc during cutting, and in turn melt metal plate instantaneously, so as to efficiently and precisely generate cutting kerf with CNC Plasma Cutter;

2. Plasma cutting system of CNC Plasma Cutting Machine: Plasma power supply / Special purpose cutting torch and its arc voltage type height controller: (Fig.6, 7, 8)

Check List on Production Procedure of Plasma CNC Plate Cutting Machine:

1. Cutting Torch Height Controller of CNC Plasma Cutting Machine:

1) Why Need: In practical use, many sheet metal plates have uneven surface, especially those with large size and with small to medium thickness. This will produce changing gap between CNC Plasma Cutter cutting tip and surface of sheet metal, which brings along negative impact on cutting quality of CNC Plasma Cutting Machine;
2) Proper Type: To maintain constant distance between CNC Plasma Cutter cutting torch tip and sheet metal, the plasma cutting torch of CNC Plate Cutting Machine should be equipped with cutting torch height controller. For CNC Plasma Cutting Machine, the cutting torch height controller is arc voltage type.
 

2. Heavy duty Precise Linear Guide Rail of Wuxi JACK Flame CNC Plasma Cutter:

1) Significance: This is of vital importance for managing on stable/ smooth and accurate performance of cutting torch in CNC Plasma Cutting Machine, not only its movement along X axis of transverse direction, but also Y axis of longitudinal direction;
2) Advantages: Linear guiderail has light deadweight and little inertia, which guarantees accurate and precise guiding of cutting torch during operation of the CNC Plate Cutting Machine, even cutting around sharp corner of sheet metal.

3. Precision Control on Linear Guiderail in Wuxi JACK CNC Plasma Cutter CNC Cutting Machine:

1) Lateral linearity of main rail is 0.3mm/ 1000mm;

2) Lateral linearity of supporting rail is 0.8mm/ 1000mm;
3) Levelness of rail surface in CNC Plasma Cutter is ±0.18mm/ 1000mm;
4) Positioning Accuracy of plasma CNC Plate Cutting Machine is ±0.25mm.
 

4. Superior Outsourced Parts of Wuxi JACK Flame CNC Plasma Cutter:

The four most critical units for guaranteeing successful running of plasma CNC Plate Cutting Machine include:
1) CNC controller;
2) Servo drivers and driving motors;
3) Plasma power supply;
4) Cutting torch and its IHS (Initial height sensor).
 

5. Mechanical Main Structure of Wuxi JACK CNC Plasma Cutting Machine:

The mechanical box structure of Wuxi JACK CNC Plasma Cutting Machine is of integral fabricated style, which is stress relieved thru advanced heat treatment. It has light deadweight and high strength.

1. Modular Structure of CNC Plate Cutting Machine:

1) CNC-CG series CNC Cutting Machine is in the form of “Modularization”: Basic skeleton and function units, plus various optional configurations;

2) CNC Plasma Cutter has same structure as flame CNC Plate Cutting Machine, and can have functions integrated together. So, people sometimes call it Flame CNC Plasma Cutter;
3) Comparatively, laser CNC Cutting Machine differs from flame and plasma CNC Plate Cutting Machine, in view of structure and function group;

A. Classification on CNC Plasma Cutter CNC Cutting Machine:

Based on structure of mechanical frame, CNC Plasma Cutting Machine can be grouped into 3 types of moving Gantry frame, stationary Table type, and Underwater:

1. Servo Motor Drive Gantry Frame CNC Plasma Cutting Machine:

1) This takes over 90% of the CNC Plasma Cutting Machine. The common seen models are CNC-CG4000, and CNC-CG5000;
2) For 4,000mm span CNC Plasma Cutter (CNC-CG4000), because of its wide use, there are 2 options of: Plasma only CNC-CG4000 CNC Plasma Cutting Machine, and CNC-CG4000 flame plasma CNC Plate Cutting Machine;

2. Compact structure stationary Table frame CNC Plasma Cutting Machine:

1) This approaches to laser cutting in terms of workpiece piece and cutting outcome:
2) Such “high end” CNC Plasma Cutter CNC Cutting Machine is adopted with fine plasma cutting, for cutting on thin stainless steel/ Al/ Alloy material small size sheet metal;

3. Underwater CNC Plasma Cutting Machine:

1) This is for the purpose of getting environmental friendly operation: Fumes and lights generated are absorbed into water table;
2) The cutting capacity (Thickness and cutting speed) of underwater CNC Plate Cutting Machine is compromised 15% compared with dry type CNC Plasma Cutter.
