CNC plasma cutting

Plasma cutting operates by firing an electrically ionised heated gas (plasma) out of a nozzle at a high speed towards the metal. This will form an electrical ark within the gas. High level of heat is generated as electricity from the nozzle travels down this plasma. This heat melts the metal where cutting is achieved. Plasma cutters can cut stainless steel, aluminium, brass and copper along with mild steel. It’s particularly ideal for thick metal, up to 50 mm. If cutting highly reflective or very thick sheets of metal is required, plasma should be the ideal cutting method. Our modern steelwork fabrication shops have computer-aided design and detailing (CAD), which is linked directly to factory floor computer numerically controlled (CNC) machinery, creating a genuine seamless CAD/CAM environment. Novelty Steel has adapted EN 1090-2 standards into its manufacturing processes supervised by experienced quality management team.

Metal plate CNC controlled gas cutting up to 6000 mm x 2000 mm, thickness of 150 mm We have over 30 years of experience in metal plategas cutting . Today, CNC controlled gas cutting is a very effective and economical method of cutting metal plate. Thanks to several cutting heads, we are able to guarantee a large quantity of finished products in a short time. Despite major progress in the development of other cutting methods (laser cutting, water jet cutting or plasma cutting), gas cutting continues to enjoy great popularity. It is a relatively slow method, but with the right technological approach it guarantees high efficiency of production at a very low cost of finished elements. Gas cutting has no competition in terms of cutting sheets of more than 60 mm. The only technology that can be used instead is water jet cutting, but gas cutting is by far cheaper.

An extensive and versatile machine park is one of the fundamental development goals of the Vosse company. Another big investment in its implementation is the Eagle laser.
