Plasma Cutting Systems
Technology Overview
Plasma cutting utilizes a high-velocity jet of ionized gas to cut through electrically conductive materials.
The process creates a constricted electric arc between the electrode and the workpiece, generating high-temperature
plasma that melts the material and removes it through the high-velocity gas flow.
