Plasma Cut Aluminum Sheet

You re not going to get a saw clean cut with any plasma but it will cut it.

Plasma cut aluminum sheet.

The benefit is that freeform cuts can be made to metal based on guiding the cutter. Since this machine works by directing plasma through the creation of a circuit a ground clamp is necessary much like welding. Thick in several ways such as from 45 to 260 amps and mixtures of air air or argon helium. One of the benefits of plasma is its ability to cut most any metal including aluminum.

If you plan to cut thick aluminum sheet your plasma cutter should feature a wider gap and bigger arcs among them. Press the plasma cutter button. Higher rates of feed 25 inches min 635mm min small depth of cut 0 030 0 75mm max. Consider a plasma cutter depending on the thickness of the aluminum sheet.

Typical materials cut with a plasma torch include steel stainless steel aluminum brass and copper although other conductive metals may be cut as well. Take into account the high speed machining. This instructable is strictly to show practical operation of a plasma cutter. Remember not to drag the plasma cutter on the surface of the aluminium sheet as it may damage the cutter forever.

To cut the sheets of metal rathe. The pm 30 will cut your 125 aluminum just fine. It will take a moment to start and then the aluminium will start being cut. If you don t you ll find you get a very contaminated bead.

For example a high amperage plasma system can cut aluminum 1 4 in. Once you see the sheet is being cut hold it a little above and start moving it to cut a greater area. Different amperages and gases provide different results such as increased productivity a good edge finish or tight tolerances. Plasma cutting performed by an industrial robot plasma cutting is a process that cuts through electrically conductive materials by means of an accelerated jet of hot plasma.
