Tips for Maximizing Efficiency and Performance

It is important to measure and ensure the maximum efficiency of your cutting table to achieve ultimate profit out of your production. 

A few tips can boost your table’s performance in the long run. Additionally, you will find your CNC plasma cutting table a more cost-effective tool in the long run.

⇲ Regular maintenance is a must to ensure all components are in optimal condition.

⇲ Regular calibration is similarly important to maintain accuracy and consistency in cutting.

⇲ Use high-quality consumables such as electrodes, nozzles, and cutting tips.

⇲ Optimize cutting parameters by experimenting with different settings.

⇲ Make sure the material is properly secured before starting the machining.

⇲ Train the operator on nesting software and advanced software features.

⇲ Monitor performance metrics and quality of production routinely.

Pros & Advantages

✔ Consumable parts have the longest life in the industry.

✔ Pilot arc circuit increases pilot arc current precisely when needed, significantly reducing nozzle wear.

✔ The Hypertherm quick-disconnect torch assembly provides easy switching between hand torch and machine torch, and it also features a stress-relief design for durability.

✔ Ease of Use - Easy and convenient gas regulation and current regulation.

✔ Very safe to use When the wearing parts are removed, the interlock device will prevent the machine from starting.

✔ With a special voltage fluctuation compensation device, there is no need to worry about the impact of voltage fluctuations on the machine.

✔ All equipment is equipped with a standard CNC/automatic machine interface, enabling automatic control and quick transfer to machine operation.

✔ New "fan on demand" function minimizes dust inhalation.

✔ Torch lead sheath made of AC chemistry resists jet and cut-through capabilities of molten metal.

✔ Accurate fault alarm indicator light makes it easier for you to operate and maintain.

✔ Auto-voltage™ automatic voltage regulation capability, which can automatically adapt to various input power sources of 200V-600V and three-phase.

✔ Coaxial-assist™ technology increases cutting speed.

✔ The Boost Conditioner™ input voltage compensation circuit compensates for fluctuations in the input voltage, which improves the performance of low-voltage lines, motor generators, and input power (fluctuations).

✔ Design for reliability improves downtime and greatly reduces investment.

✔ CNC interface and Easy Torch Removal (ETR™) are versatile for both handheld and machine use.

Cons

✔ Higher price than ordinary plasma power supply.

✔ Compared with the fiber laser cutting machine, the plasma cutting gap is larger, the cutting end surface is rougher and not smooth enough, and the cutting precision is lower.

Safety Considerations

Safety measurements are very important steps while working with plasma cutters. Plasma cutting involves high-temperature electrical currents which come with significant safety hazards. Proper safety measures are a must to avoid any unwanted exploration.

A few probable hazards that can occur due to the lack of safety considerations are,

⇲ Risk of high voltage electric shock

⇲ A densely heated plasma arc can cause fire and eventually potential to burn

⇲ Hazardous gases and fumes can cause severe health issues

⇲ Risk of eye injury from UV radiation

Now the 5x19 Hypertherm Plasma Cutter is equipped with various safety features. To minimize risk and ensure safe operation several features are added. Such as,

⇲ Thermal overload protection

⇲ Emergency stop button

⇲ Machine Guarding

⇲ Voltage monitoring system and

⇲ Safety interlocks

Proper training and availability of safety equipment including PPI and Glasses are recommended before start using the plasma cutter.

Environmental Impact

Like any industrial process plasma cutting can impact the environment to a great extent. It is necessary to consider the environmental impact of plasma cutting to minimize the chances of affecting our environment badly.

Plasma cutting can result in several environmental changes including,

⇲ Air pollution due to excessive fume, smoke, and bi-product

⇲ Uncontrolled usage will affect excessive power consumption

⇲ Off-cuts and scrap materials can be responsible for polluting the environment directly

⇲ Additional water usage as coolant and the chemical bots mixed within water particles can contaminate it to a greater extent

It is a matter of hope that the advanced technology of the Hypertherm plasma cutter utilizes electricity consumption. Implementing strategies to minimize wastage and emissions can help save the environment from pollution. Optimizing the machine parameters will also make a helpful impact on overall environmental detoxification.
