Plasma Cutting Systems provide tighter tolerances, minimize machining on finished parts, and provide greater part accuracy than standard flame cutting. Plasma has a smaller heat-affected zone and reduced edge cracking when forming. PC-based control technology increases control in shape cutting.
Advantages include:
- High-quality edge cuts
- Minimal clean-up
- Small heat-affected zone
- Etching and beveling capabilities
- Forming a potential secondary process Loftis offers flame cut pieces (rectangles, ID, OD, and per print items) to customer specifications. Our CNC machines allow us to flame-cut carbon plates up to 6″ thick.
Advantages of flame cutting include:
- Thick material capability
- Good edge quality
- In-house stress-relieving, normalizing, and annealing
