Plasma cutting

Choosing our HD Soudage plasma products means choosing the assurance of a job well done!

The plasma cutter is one of the most advanced, widely used, efficient, and versatile tools for easily cutting through heavy, thick materials. It’s a tool that can be used for a variety of materials and projects, enabling safe cutting of metals that would otherwise seem impossible to cut.

Hypertherm plasma systems use a jet of plasma to cut materials by using extremely high temperatures generated by an electric arc between a tungsten electrode and the base metal.

One of the biggest advantages of using a Hypertherm plasma cutter is its speed and precision. It can cut through thick materials at high speeds without compromising the quality of the cut. It is also capable of cutting complex shapes with great accuracy thanks to its digital control technology.

In addition to its speed and precision, using a Hypertherm plasma system is also cost-effective. It consumes less energy than other cutting methods such as a hacksaw or grinder, which helps reduce operating costs. It is also cleaner than other cutting methods, as it produces no smoke or dust, reducing health and environmental risks. Using a plasma cutter is also safer than other cutting methods. It is equipped with advanced safety features such as contact detection and temperature monitoring to prevent accidents.

What is plasma cutting?

Plasma cutting is a process used to cut steel, stainless steel, and aluminum using a plasma torch. Simply put, gas is blown at high speed from a nozzle while an electric arc melts the metal, and compressed air blows away the molten metal. This results in a cleaner cut than with an oxy-acetylene torch.

What is a plasma cutting machine used for?

Plasma cutting is often used for various metal fabrication tasks, such as in construction. However, it can also be used for decorative purposes, with artists and designers relying on this tool to bring their vision to life. Plasma cutting can be performed on various types of metal. It uses an electric arc to cut through any conductive metal such as steel, iron, copper, brass, aluminum, stainless steel, and other durable materials. A plasma cutter can also cut through stacked materials with very high cutting speed.

Main advantages of plasma cutting:

1. Ease of use

Plasma systems are generally portable, making it easy to move them wherever the job requires. Some brands offer cutters so lightweight that a single person can easily carry them. As long as the operator is properly trained, it is a reliable and very safe solution for cutting metal.

2. Fast cuts

If you compare the cutting speed of a plasma cutter with any other cutting tool, you’ll find it’s the clear winner, as it saves time and is much easier than other cutting equipment. It gets the job done in a quarter of the time compared to any other cutting tool. This tool doesn't need to be preheated before cutting, which saves you time and helps you complete your project in no time.

3. Precision cutting quality

An experienced operator with a steady hand is needed to achieve a truly clean cut. Precision cutting is one of the main advantages of a plasma cutting machine, especially when it comes to cutting various shapes or angles with sheet metal.

4. Safety

Because this cutting process uses a gas that is NOT highly flammable, it is a safer method than other processes. However, we always recommend working with our team of professionals, who will ensure your metal is cut safely and precisely.
