PlasmaCAM's Computer-Driven Cutting Table

Description

This new easy-to-use computer-controlled plasma cutting system is both powerful and economical. The cutting table holds a hand-held plasma torch and runs off your personal computer.

The machine comes with impressive software for importing and reproducing almost any shape from scanned images, computer fonts, or common drawing programs.

Operation

The cutting table is a very simple and easy to maintain mechanism. DC servo motors drive rack and pinion gears at variable speeds to provide 2-axis motion. Your computer is the brain behind the machine, telling it where to move and how fast.

The machine is also equipped with a Z-axis drive (not shown in video) that lifts the torch up between cuts and keeps the torch in contact with non-flat sheets during cutting.

Cutting Table Specifications
