What is a Tube Plasma?
Tube plasma cutting is a high-precision process that uses a focused stream of ionized gas to cut through electrically conductive metals. It excels at shaping round, square, and rectangular tubes, allowing for notches, miters, holes, and other complex geometries with clean, consistent edges. This technology is faster and more versatile than traditional saw or manual cutting methods, reducing manual layout and fitting time. With CNC control, tube plasma ensures repeatable accuracy, making it ideal for both high-volume production and custom fabrication projects.
How it works:
A tube plasma cutter works by creating a high‑velocity stream of ionized gas, called plasma, that melts and blows away metal along a programmed path. The tube is secured in place while a CNC-controlled torch moves precisely, cutting notches, miters, holes, or other shapes around the tube’s circumference. Integrated CAD/CAM software translates your designs into exact cutting paths, ensuring repeatable accuracy and minimal material waste. Some systems also include automated marking to indicate bend points or fit-up guides, streamlining the fabrication process and reducing manual layout.
Why are they ideal for metal cutting?
Tube plasma systems are ideal because they combine speed, precision, and versatility in one automated process. They produce clean, accurate cuts with minimal material waste, reducing the need for secondary finishing or manual adjustments. CNC control ensures consistent results across multiple parts, while automated marking and cutting features streamline workflow and save time. This makes them perfect for both high-volume production and custom projects, delivering reliable, repeatable performance that traditional cutting methods simply cannot match.
