Plasma Cutter A plasma cutter is a handheld or mechanized tool used to cut through electrically conductive materials using a high-temperature plasma arc. It operates by generating an electric arc between the cutter's electrode and the workpiece, ionizing the gas passing through the arc to create a plasma jet. The plasma jet heats and melts the material, while high-velocity gas expels the molten metal, resulting in clean and precise cuts.
Plasma cutters are available in various sizes and configurations, ranging from small, portable units for light-duty applications to large, industrial-grade machines for heavy-duty cutting tasks. They are widely used in metal fabrication, construction, and automotive industries for cutting steel, aluminum, stainless steel, and other metals with speed and accuracy. |
