Latest plasma cutting machine

Craig Walsh, sales director, says: "The void between entry level machines and our entry level (RUR) high definition plasma cutting machines has until now, been filled partly by our own second hand machines that we have refurbished and sold on. However, we are conscious of the needs of manufacturers – especially in smaller businesses – who are looking for a cost effective solution that is based either on the available budget or the workload planned for the machine.

"With the new Plasmaster, the target applications range from those wanting to cut thin materials such as ductwork, right the way through to heavier duty fabricators needing to cut thicker materials."

The bed of the Plasmaster machine consists of a heavy duty plate support system that contains individual dross bins that can be easily accessed to remove waste material. It is capable of supporting a plate size of 3m by 1.5m and up to 25mm thick. Engineers at Kerf designed the base to be free-standing and not connected to the machine frame. This eliminates any potential shock loading issues and enhances the process reliability of the Plasmaster 3015. 

Walsh continues: "When we developed the latest Plasmaster machine, our target was to utilise products from leading global suppliers. These included the Burny control and drive system with Smart HC intelligent height control and complement this with a proven dependable machine frame. We have used linear bearings for the X, Y and Z axis. The benefit for users is a very smooth cutting motion providing excellent positional accuracy, good cut quality and excellent repeatability."
