Plasma CNC machine is known as a tool which can cut a piece of material in a unique manner, i.e. using plasma. It is controlled by a computer program which allows the work to be done in much accurate way. To figure out how the machine is able to conduct the task well, check the features below.

Plasma Cutter

The first part of plasma CNC machine is the plasma cutter. The tip of the torch works similarly to those of hand held cutting machines. The nozzle of the cutter functions to direct cutting gas, shielding gas, electrode, and the plasma. Although the plasma cutter should manage to function in three dimensions, most devices work in two dimensions (X and Y).

Table Plasma CNC Machine

The table is a surface where a piece of material will be put on for cutting. The table is commonly made of steel with a grate that functions to hold the material. Most types of tables are modular because there will be a regular replacement for them.

Armature

This part of plasma CNC machine is made of two arms that move concurrently. Both arms are moved by a motor. The input of the CNC, however, can move the tip along with any shape programmed. This enables the cutter to carve various kinds of patterns, from the simplest lines to much complicated design.

Program

The computer of the machine consists of a microprocessor, data storage and memory. This is just as similar as those found in any basic computer. However, there is a CNC program that functions to determine the shapes of cutting.

CNC program is also called as the design. The design is scanned to the computer then with a help of specific language program, it is changed into something that can be fed to the CNC program.

By knowing the elements of plasma CNC machine, the user or operator will have a sharpened knowledge about the machine so that he can better use the device.
