What is a CNC plasma machine and its device

Plasma machine is a device for processing metal surfaces in different ways. The machines differ from each other by their internal structure, the way of placing the processed sheet, their main purpose, as well as the way of control.

CNC plasma cutting equipment is controlled by computer program, which automatically controls all the necessary parameters: the angle of inclination of the torch, the output voltage power, etc. The device of such machines includes:

Plasma cutter.
Apparatus for supplying voltage and compressed air.
Cutting system.
A device for moving the cutter over the metal surface.
Cutting process control system.

When choosing the right machine, it is necessary to take into account the dimensions and parameters associated with productivity, and the limitations that the equipment has.

What are the machines for cutting metal plasma

Plasma cutting machines are different technical characteristics, performance and design features. The main difference is the following:

In general, programmed machines have a simple structure and principle of operation. The only one a prerequisite for operation it is that the operator of a CNC machine for cutting metal with plasma has a special profile education.

The principle of operation of CNC machines for cutting metal with plasma

CNC plasma cutting machines differ from manual stations in that all work processes in the devices are fully automated by software control. The presence of CNC allowed to reduce the impact human factor and achieve a new cutting quality.

Thanks to the use of a computer that monitors the execution of operations, the functionality of the equipment has been increased and the scope of application has expanded. The principle of operation, with the exception of process automation, has remained unchanged:

The torch is supplied with air under pressure and a corresponding swirl.
With the help of an electrode, the air is heated to a temperature of about 20,000-30,000 ° C.
At the moment of heating, air masses undergo an ionization process and, as a result, become a good electrical conductor.
Heated air - plasma melts the surface of the metal and blows it out under pressure.

Feature industrial equipment is that all processes are controlled by the program for the plasma cutting machine. The software allows you to take into account many factors that ensure the quality of the cut. Namely:

Additional convenience during work is provided by the CNC coordinate table for plasma cutting. The sliding table helps to carry out the most precise and high-tech types of material processing, to which increased requirements are imposed.

Safety and Operation Requirements for CNC Plasma Machines

Plasma metal cutting machines are relatively safe equipment, to which, nevertheless, certain requirements are imposed, regulated in GOST 12.3.039-85 and others regulatory documents... GOSTs and documentation stipulate certain conditions related to both service personnel, and with the installation. Among the main provisions are the following:

The use of funds is mandatory individual protection for the operator. CNC gantry plasma cutting machines in the process of operation produce low-frequency noise at the ultrasound level, certain infrared and electromagnetic radiation, as well as nitrogen oxide products and other harmful vapors. Work requires the use of protective glasses, headphones or earplugs, etc. A special ergonomic chair must be installed for the operator.
The peculiarities associated with the process of equipment operation impose special requirements for ensuring safety at the workplace. The room used for the installation of the machine must be well ventilated and have sufficient daylight... Mandatory is the use of forced ventilation systems.
Quality Supplies- portal and portable mobile CNC machines for plasma cutting of metal must have a unit for preliminary preparation of the materials used. Using compressor unit an air dryer is additionally installed if it is not built into the structure.
Automatic shutdown systems - Operation on a CNC plasma machine may be associated with certain emergency situations... Control systems provide automatic shutdown of the machine in case of violation of operating standards.
The premises must be equipped with fire extinguishing equipment and a fire alarm. The operator is instructed on what to do in case of fire.

The operator of a CNC machine to perform plasma cutting of metals must undergo mandatory training in safe operation devices, have permits to work with equipment of this type.

The room used for the work must be checked by a fire inspector. From time to time, it will be revalidated to meet the requirements for safe operation of the device.

Content

Very often, for working with metal sheets, they use specialized machines, with the help of which the division process is carried out. One of the most popular devices is considered to be a gantry plasma cutting machine; it has its positive aspects, which allow you to perform work quickly, efficiently and at minimal cost. In the article, we will consider all the nuances of this mechanism, the rules for its operation, and give advice on buying.

Characteristics of gantry plasma cutting machines

Plasma cutting of metal is carried out both manually and mechanically. The general set of equipment for dividing metal in this way, when using plasma, includes: a plasma torch, an energy source, a cutting control system and a mechanism that moves the installation. In this case, the latter can be both mobile and immovable, articulated, portal-console or portal. Control for such installations is allowed of the photoelectronic type, magnetic and numerical.

Whatever device it is, it has only one task - to cut the metal from the sheet exactly according to the indicated scheme. The main positive characteristic when using plasma cutting, this means that there is no need for subsequent processing of the edges of the resulting product. For example, if a cutting machine with metal cutters is used, then the edge of the part will need to be smoothed, and if using plasma, this work should not be performed. The second positive characteristic of plasma cutting is the ability to work with different material thicknesses and cut the most difficult parts.

Purpose

It should be understood that cutting a sheet of metal using plasma begins with the heating of the first point electric arc, which is created by the potential difference between the electrode and the workpiece (when the current passes through the nozzle). When the place has already warmed up, a stream of oxygen or other gas under strong pressure displaces it and a smooth and smooth edge of the part is obtained. In this process, thermal oxidation of the metal is maintained, which occurs along the cut line. The main tasks of the portal-type plasma cutter can be included in the following list:

cutting any type of metal of different thickness with an accuracy of 0.1 mm;
production of parts of any complexity from sheet aluminum, iron, steel, etc .;
cutting pipes of different diameters, thicknesses and lengths;
high-precision result without the possibility of overheating the profile.

Features and working principle

A portal-type plasma cutting machine is characterized by the fact that a sheet of metal is placed under the portal. This is the main difference, since in a cantilever device this part fits under the cantilever, and in hinge mechanisms - under the hinge frame. In addition to the portal, the device in question will necessarily contain a support, a copying mechanism and a plasmatron. Photoelectric control is also possible, which performs the task of tracking the correctness of the outline of the drawing, which was sent to the device (a special photocell is used here).

If the plasma cutter is supplemented with software control, then this will make it possible to produce many identical parts without the slightest difference. Such a device is very often used on mass production... In current conditions, gantry-type plasma cutting machines are constantly being improved and increase their speed, the quality of the parts obtained, while simultaneously reducing operating costs. It is worth watching a video that will clearly demonstrate the operation of such a mechanism:

Design

A standard plasma cutter should include a series of component parts, which together perform quality work. Each of these parts can be replaced during the operation of the devices with an adjacent or the same mechanism (only a working one). Let's take a look at each part:

Gantry system with rail-type guides and transmission from toothed rack to stepper motor. There must also be a system of dynamic protection against possible vibrations, it increases the period of high-quality uninterrupted service of the entire apparatus. The gantry system is the main part of the entire installation, it additionally allows the use of a compressor.
Plasma source. It is allowed to pick it up any, depending on preferences and the desired result.
An automated support that moves the plasma torch itself vertically. If an automatic control system is used, then an additional touch mechanism may be present, which determines the height of the future workpiece.
The cutting table must be aligned with the portal. The choice of such a part should depend on the maximum dimensions of the sheets for cutting, as well as on the dimensions of the main part of the plasma cutter. It will be stationary or portable, it is at the request of the customer.
CNC rack or other software that will submit tasks to the main device.
Remote control or control board. It does not exist in all devices, but with these parts in the kit, it is much easier to regulate the metal cutting process, stop and start the device (this requires one button).
Software. Present in advanced mechanisms and allows the operator to create layouts and transfer them to the installation.

CNC control system in metal cutting machines

If the device contains a numeric program control, then the quality of the cut obtained increases markedly and at the same time the productivity increases. Any configuration or circuit can be easily implemented using CNC, which is not so difficult to connect to any machine (both plasma and laser). The advantages of such control on gantry installations for plasma cutting of metal include:

the ability to repeat any contours on different parts;
creation of identical metal parts according to the most complex designs;
the ability to cut any contour;
increased productivity of the installation;
the ability to adjust the start time, duration of work.

Prices for gantry air plasma cutting machines

The cost of such mechanisms varies within a large framework, depending on what parameters the plasma cutter will have and what its power is. The most popular model MAX 200 from Hypertherm can cost up to 500,000 rubles. There are small tables with gantry systems that can be used in small industries, then their price will be lower. If it comes O large enterprises for production, the cost of machines can reach several tens of thousands of dollars, it is very important to obtain a passport for the goods. The average range of prices is enclosed in the following frames:

compact portal plasma cutters (from 40,000 rubles);
CNC machines (from 150,000 rubles);
plasmatrons (from 37,000 rubles);
large plasma cutting installations (from 400,000 rubles).

Where to buy a machine for cutting pipes and other works?

It is easy to buy a gantry plasma cutting machine like large manufacturers and from dealers. In the first case, the buyer will choose a device at low prices, but the terms of purchase may be to order several devices. In the second case, the cost may be much higher, but the purchase parameters will be more acceptable (fast and free delivery, the possibility of obtaining one machine, support of the master, setting up mechanisms, additional components, maintenance).
