This is a test of the Hobart plasma cutter on our new Torchmate 2×2 CNC Prototyping Machine. CNC Plasma Cutting is just one of this machines uses. We will be debuting the machine on piratetv, which you can find at www.pirate4×4.com on the evening of Tuesday, January 12th. Even if you miss this episode, you can go to pirate4×4.com and watch the recorded episode.

Techno CNC Offers Sign Makers $1,000 Holiday Discount on CNC Routers If you’re a sign maker and you?re tired of cutting products with hand tools, Techno CNC wants to give you a $1,000 incentive to automate your cutting process for the holidays. The company, a leading supplier of CNC routers for sign makers and other fabricators, is offering a $1,000 discount on any router machine system purchased by December 31st, 2009. ?Sign makers have seen their businesses change dramatically with our machines,? says Roy Valentine, Techno CNC sales manager. ?We know wood, signage, plastic, and other fabricators need to automate their cutting process. With aggressive US government incentives to purchase capital equipment we felt we should chime in as well. This extended discount is to encourage and motivate companies to automate and streamline there production. We hope this added contribution will prove that Techno equipment is a small investment with a big return.? To learn more about the $1,000 Techno CNC discount and see a video of the Techno CNC router in action, please visit: http://www.Sign-CNC-Router.com For more than 23 years, the experts at Techno have led the industry in the design and manufacture of CNC routers for sign manufacturing and other industries; routers known for their performance, durability, and ease-of-use. Techno CNC routers allow customers to cut signs with greater accuracy, faster production speed, and expand their business into new markets by cutting parts they could not cut by hand. ?The accuracy on these machines is incredible,? said Techno CNC customer Tom Farmer, owner of Hilton, N.Y.-based Upstate CNC Service Inc. ?If you want to do something the old way with a Jigsaw you can hope you get a straight line or an accurate curve. But Techno CNC machines are reliable 100% of the time. I can make 1,000 parts exactly the same. You can not do that with a hand tool.? The Pro-series CNC Router is designed to meet the demanding production needs of panel processing shops. This machine model is engineered for optimal performance and product throughput in sheet goods such as plastic, wood, and similar materials. The LC Series, Techno?s most popular model, is ideal for small to mid-size production shops. It’s an excellent entry-level machine that allows the user to start with a CNC Router featuring many advancements typically found in more expensive machines. In addition the LC Series has two Table top models available for small part processing. The Patriot CNC is ideal for prototyping, model making, jewelry manufacturing, or schools for teaching CAD/CAM technology to students. The Patriot is fully enclosed and can be equipped with many accessories such as a reverse engineering digitizer an automatic tool changer, and 4-axis for intricate carvings. Whether you?re working with signs, woodworking products, or any other routable materials, Techno has a CNC router for you.

Plasma cutters can cut steel and other metals of different thicknesses using a plasma torch. Plasma can also be used for plasma arc welding and other applications.

Plasma cutters are available in various shapes and sizes. All plasma cutters function on the same principle and are constructed around roughly the same design. Plasma cutters send pressurized gas, such as nitrogen, argon, or oxygen through a small channel. In the center of this channel, you?ll find a negatively charged electrode.

Plasma cutters can cut different shapes in metals properly. It is a very simple and economic technique. With the help of these cutters, the cutting work can be done accurately, in full speed and cut any type of metal in any shape. Due to low level skill, plasma cutters are threat to conventional metalworking tools. Plasma causes the energy to break apart the gas molecules and the atoms begin to split. Generally atoms have protons and neutrons in the nucleus, surrounded with electrons. But in case of plasma cutters, electrons separate from the nucleus. Once the energy of heat releases the electrons from the atom, the electrons begin to move around quickly. If you notice most of the electrons are negatively charged and leave behind positively charged nuclei, known as ions. Electrons crash with other electrons and ions, which releases vast amount of energy, creating plasma and unbelievable cutting power.

Plasma cutters are widely used in auto shops as well as by car manufacturers to customize and create chassis and frames. Even construction companies use plasma cutters in large-scale projects to cut and fabricate huge beams or metal-sheet goods. Locksmiths use plasma cutters to bore into safes and vaults when customers have been locked out.

One major benefit of plasma cutter is that the surface of the metal outside of the cutting area remains relatively cool; this prevents the warping and paint damage that can occur with other flame cutters. A thin heat affected zone also allows the use of templates for precise curved line cutting. Plasma cutters do well as gougers and can pierce metal quickly and accurately.

Plasma cutters are also used in CNC (computer numerically controlled) machinery. The idea behind CNC tables is to allow a computer to control the torch head making clean sharp cuts. Nowadays, CNC plasma equipment can cut thick material, which provides opportunity for complex welding seams on CNC welding equipment that is not possible otherwise. For cutting thinner material, plasma cutter is replaced by laser cutting, due to superior hole-cutting abilities. CNC plasma cutters are also used in HVAC industry. In the present scenario, there is more development in CNC plasma cutting Machinery. In the past, cutting machine was horizontal in shape, but due to improvement in technology, vertical CNC plasma cutting machines are available.
