CNC Plasma Cutting

What is CNC Plasma Cutting?

CNC (Computer Numerical Control) plasma cutting is a technology that uses a plasma torch to cut through electrically conductive materials. It involves creating an arc between an electrode and the workpiece, ionizing the gas to produce plasma that can reach extremely high temperatures, allowing it to cut through metals like steel, aluminum, brass, and copper with precision and speed.
