Plasma Cutters

Plasma cutters are equipment designed to cut metal parts using a plasma arc in an air stream. During the operation of the device, a stream of very hot plasma is formed, which instantly melts the metal and blows it out of the cutting area. This allows you to get a smooth cut line and use the plasma cutter for precise metal cutting work. The plasma itself is formed from atmospheric air or special gases such as oxygen, argon, or nitrogen. The capabilities of each individual plasma cutter depend on the maximum power consumption.

How to use Paton plasma cutters

Plasma cutters by Paton are widely used in professional and semi-professional metal cutting work. They are suitable for processing cast parts, shaped cutting of metal sheets, and other metal cutting procedures.

You can buy a plasma cutter to perform complex metal cutting on construction sites, in the production of metal parts, and for industrial purposes. If necessary, the device can also be used at home, but it will require a compressed air supply and a three-phase connection.

How the plasma cutter works

The main condition for operation is the creation of an electric arc between the plasma cutter nozzle and the workpiece using the mains voltage. To do this, the negative pole of the electric current is connected to the plasma cutter rod, and the positive pole to the workpiece. After that, compressed gas is supplied to the torch. The high air pressure in the nozzle contributes to the formation of plasma, the temperature of which can reach tens of thousands of degrees. The key feature of plasma is its ability to conduct welding current as well as metal.

One of the advantages of air-plasma metal cutting is the local heating of the metal part and the absence of deformation. The small scale that occurs during this process is immediately blown away by a powerful stream of air.

Advantages of Paton plasma cutting machines

The inverter-type plasma cutter is characterized by several features:

• high cutting speed of metal even of large thickness;

• high efficiency indicators;

• economical power consumption compared to other types of equipment;

• high initial cut quality that requires minimal post-processing.

Paton inverter plasma cutters have several additional advantages:

• ordinary air from the environment is used to create plasma - the device does not require the supply of other gases: argon, nitrogen, oxygen;

• when creating Paton plasma cutter models, a compromise was made between the size and power of the models - the models are perfect for most jobs, having a small size;

• the weight of the devices is reduced due to the use of a converter with a high frequency, which distinguishes them from models with a classic design;

• soft ignition of the plasma flow is provided by a pneumatic system equipped with two valves at once - this ensures low metal spatter;

• Thanks to the optimal start of the system during ignition, the device's consumable resources are saved.
