Thermal arc plasma cutting 0.5mm aluminium sheet
Thermal arc plasma cutting 0.5mm aluminium sheet
(OP)
We manufacture mechanised plasma cutting systems and have been approached with a request to cut HVAC parts from the above.
Thermal expansion properties of aluminium combined with the high temperatures involved with the process indicate that system instability is likely to be a significant effect.
It certainly looks improbable as an undertaking, but before shutting the door, has anyone actually tried cutting nested parts continually?

RE: Thermal arc plasma cutting 0.5mm aluminium sheet
Are you cutting dry and what material thickness? If this is thin material, less than 12 gauge material warpage may be a problem. Laser cutting may be a better solution or simply nibbling with a punch.
Give me more information on you parts.
