CNC Systems - CNC Plasma Systems

We recommend the Hypertherm Powermax Range for their excellent build quality and reliability. The higher the power rating of the plasma power unit, the greater the duty cycle is at lower current output settings. Select a more powerful unit if you plan to cut most of the dayl. If you will be using your machine frequently, but not continuously, consider a unit that is capable of cutting the thickest material you are likely to work with.

We do not specify cut speeds here as we have conducted extensive testing to achieve cut speeds for optimum cut quality according to material type, thickness, electrode and nozzle selection, output current, pierce settings, little or no dross etc. We can achieve lazer-like quality. Competitors often show maximum cutting speeds rather than speeds that deliver the best cuts.  Please contact us for other options.
