The Highest Performance CNC Plasma Cutting Machines

Higher Cutting Speed, Higher Accuracy, Cleaner Cuts

In order to develop the best possible CNC plasma cutting machine, PlasmaCAM has engineered the entire system from the ground up. Our cutting table, electronics, and software have all been designed by us - specifically to make plasma cutting easier and higher quality, achieved by the design choices made on the system.
 
Every part of the plasma cutting machine is designed to work together to give you the best possible results. Instead of using the softer and low grade aluminum extrusions, we designed the whole frame with quality, cold-rolled steel and instead of using the cheaper and less accurate stepper motors, we use high performance servo motors that provide you with unsurpassed accuracy, acceleration and speed.
 
This CNC Plasma Cutting System will last for years and will enable you not only to teach students with the best technology available but also allow you to use it for fund raising projects in your local community.

Digital Height Control™ Raises and Lowers Torch and Allows Cutting of Non-Flat Material

All Industrial PlasmaCAM CNC plasma cutting systems comes with the basic Digital Height Control™ and the Z-axis motor already installed to give you optimum cutting performance. This allow you to continuously cut products without having to use the control box and provides you with an automated cutting process.
 
The CNC cutting machine automatically raises and lowers the torch between cuts and hovers a precise distance over the material during cutting (using arc voltage feedback). It also synchronizes cutting motion with actual torch firing.
 
The Advanced Digital Height Control automatically senses the location of the material before each cut, auto-calibrates itself and it even detects collisions. It can be fine-tuned so aggressively that it can cut corrugated (see video) material or diamond plate. Once you set all the parameters, the machine can finish almost all jobs even if you walk away for hours.

Higher Cutting Speed and Faster Acceleration Enables High Precision Cut Quality

PlasmaCAM CNC cutting tables are designed with high performance servo motors to ensure speed and accuracy. And the issue is not so much speed as acceleration. In order for plasma cutting to be top quality, you have to keep the torch moving at a very constant speed, even when you go around sharp corners. If you don't, cuts get ugly and fine details can melt off your pieces.
 
The cutting speed on our CNC tables can range from 0.1 to 1000 inches per minute which means that PlasmaCAM cutting tables are faster than any of our competitors in cutting speeds and the fact that the torch is being repositioned in between cuts at 1000 inches per minutes reduces production times drastically. The high cutting speed also allows you to cut very small products. In some of our plasma cuts we go down to 1/6 inch in width on the material for the products.

Pre-Assembled Installed and Ready for Use in a Matter of Hours

The PlasmaCAM CNC machines are pre-assembled so they don't require you to build, weld, grind-to-fit, paint, or assemble drive components. Whether you decide to purchase the DHC2 or the DHC10, the set-up of the machine is easy and supported by instructions through the Video Manual.
 
The average time of assembling the DHC2 cutting table and setting it up for production is 2-4 hours and the DHC10 averages 4-7 hours.

Technical Specifications

DHC2 4'x4' CNC Plasma Cutting Table DHC10 5'x10' CNC Plasma Cutting Table

The revolutionary PlasmaCAM™ plasma cutting machines are available in two sizes:

1. DHC2 with a 4' x 4' cutting area will cut larger shapes up to 20 feet long through indexing (with Advanced Machine Control). The DHC2 CNC machine as an entry level CNC plasma cutting system is available with all the software upgrades optional allowing you to buy the CNC system and then upgrade later.
2. DHC10 with a 5' x 10' cutting area is designed for large fabrication and mass production and provides the best framework for automated metalwork production. With all options selected this CNC machine will handle automated nesting, cutting in already-cut areas, and basically allow you to produce large amounts of products at a speed unchallenged in the industry.
