The CNC (Computer Numerical Control) plasma cutting has been prevailing since many years. But due to the high costs of machinery, it was not affordable to the small industries. Recently it has become affordable enough for all industries.

Generally, the plasma cutting process is known for its surgical precision. In the manual plasma cutters, the plasma cutting torch is being handled by humans. As a result, a kind of roughness is sometimes found in the plasma cut pieces. With the advent of CNC plasma cutting, the process has been more precise. In the CNC plasma cutting systems, the operator’s personal computer is been used to control the cutting torches and also creates the shapes to be cut. This process enables to cut intricate curves, inside cuts and sharp edges with a smooth precision that is usually possible only with hand saw. The computer is capable of controlling the movement of the plasma cutting torch as it turns it slightly before the process so that it would burn through the material first.

With the advent of technology, the CNC plasma cutting equipment has become capable of multi-axis cutting of thick material. This enables complex welding which is not possible in other plasma cutting systems. However, for cutting extremely thinner material, laser cutting with superior hole-cutting abilities has been used. The HVAC industry had also been utilizing CNC plasma cutters where the software would process information and creates patterns which have to be cut by plasma cutting torch. The technology has enhanced the HVAC industry since its introduction.

The CNC plasma cutting machines have undergone many developments in recent years. Horizontal cutting tables were used in the machines earlier but with further research and development, vertical CNC plasma cutting machines were introduced. The advantages of these machines include small foot print, flexibility, more safety, fast process, maximum utilization of energy and moreover eco friendliness.
