Plasma Chillers
A plasma cutter can be hand held or be used by an industrial robotic arm. It should be cooled with a chiller. The heat created during the use of the cutting process can be collected, recycled, and transferred to be reused. The water temperature can be adjusted and remains stable for the duration of the procedure. The stability that a chiller or cooling tower provides is important to the process to control internal temperatures of the machine. The plasma cutting process is quick and a cutter must remain at the proper temperature at all times to insure the same results.
Plasma has many beneficial advantages over other types of cutting. Plasma cutting can be used on a wider range of materials such as stainless steel and aluminum. This is different than water jet cutting which can only be used on softer materials like alloys, paper, or wood. Plasma cutting also has a high-quality cut edge. This means products won’t have jagged or shipped edges which can occur in laser cutting, or oxy fuel cutting. Plasma is also easy to use. This is different in other operational mechanisms like welding, or lamination. Plasma cutting is also quicker and more economical than other sources of cutting. Oxy fuel cutting steel will move slower compared to plasma. Oxy fuel is also more expensive and nearly doubles in price compared to plasma cutting.
