Plasma Bevel Cutting - Getting The Most From Your Beveling Head

Plasma beveling enables you to cut your parts to size and bevel the edges in one machining step. This cuts your manufacturing costs by eliminating or reducing downstream processing. Nearly any shapes can be beveled: rectangles, circles, any parts created with CAD programs.

Precise spatial positioning allows the plasma beveling head to compensate for kerf angle, resulting in higher quality cuts. Straight cuts, bevel cuts and holes all can be dramatically improved.

When looking at a plasma beveling head, ask the following questions:

• Is it designed to handle high-speed precision motion?
• Is the plasma beveling head built to machine tool standards?
• Does the design result in a compact, lightweight unit?
• Is it versatile? Able to cut Ovals, V-Cuts, A-Cuts, K-Cuts?
• Is the plasma head designed to eliminate torch lead wind-up?
• Does it allow for smooth and accurate motion allowing beveling of small holes to minimize angularity?
• Does it feature automatic calibration and set-up?
• Can the beveling head produce virtually dross-free parts?
• What safety features protect equipment against accidents or collisions?
• Are critical components kept away from the torch, minimizing the risk associated with plasma cutting?
• Do you want the latest technology bevel head technology available today?

Plasma beveling heads are offered by a number of manufacturers. Choose the one that best fits your needs and your plasma cutter. Shopping with a critical eye for detail & quality will help you to buy it once. Machine tool quality units may not be the least expensive, but over the life of the machine, provide the best value. Their durability and accuracy provide true value. Insist on it.
