Miller plasma cutters can cut through metal
The Plasma Cutting Machine of the invention includes a constant height plasma arc cutter, a rolling table and a plasma cutter carrying gantry driven from opposite sides. The rolling table is rolled from a loading position where metal sheets are positioned thereon to a cutting position beneath the plasma arc cutter. The plasma arc cutter is held at a constant height above the rolling table. Each metal sheet loaded onto the rolling table is supported on adjustable pins. The entire cutting area is enclosed and vented. The plasma cutter and the rolling table are supported by the cutting system support. A cutter housing supports a transparent curtain, and the transparent curtain encloses the plasma arc cutter. A gantry is supported by the cutter housing, and the gantry supports the plasma cutter. The rolling table includes a table frame, adjustable pins and table wheels. The adjustable pins and the table wheels are connected to the table frame. The adjustable pins extend above and below the pin engaging portion of the table frame. The cnc plasma cutter includes a plasma arc cutter member and a cutter positioner. The plasma arc cutter member includes a plasma cutting portion and a programmable cutter control. The cutter positioner includes a cutter support and a programmable cutter position controller. The cutter support includes a gantry and a rotatable pinion at each end of the gantry.
Miller plasma cutters use a combination of electricity and air pressure to create a stream of plasma that can cut through metal. There are two different categories of Miller plasma cutters: those with built-in air compressors and those without. A plasma cutter with a built-in air compressor has the added convenience of portability, but does not have the cutting capacity of the larger external air compressor models. Both types of plasma cutters use similar controls for amperage and airflow.Read the operating manual for the model of Miller plasma cutter you intend to use to become familiar with the plasma cutter's controls.
This invention relates to a plasma cutting system of improved efficiency and safety. The improvements of the invention each taken alone or in combination add to operator convenience and productivity and provide equipment portability.
