CNC Plasma/Oxy-Fuel Burning
Meet the newest addition to the AMS lineup. Capable of plasma cutting 1-1/4" thick and flame cutting 4" thick up to 48" x 96" plate our customers have quickly learned the value of in house plate processing. Plasma tolerances can be held to +/- 1/32 on profiles. Why pay for expensive waterjet or laser time when plasma can be used efficiently in nearly all customer applications?

How Does a Plasma Work?
Plasma cutters work by sending a pressurized gas, such as nitrogen, argon, or oxygen, through a small channel. In the center of this channel, you'll find a negatively charged electrode. When you apply power to the negative electrode, and you touch the tip of the nozzle to the metal, the connection creates a circuit. A powerful spark is generated between the electrode and the metal. As the inert gas passes through the channel, the spark heats the gas until it reaches the fourth state of matter. This reaction creates a stream of directed plasma, approximately 30,000 F (16,649 C) and moving at 20,000 feet per second (6,096 m/sec), that reduces metal to molten slag.
