Slag as a by-product of plasma cutting
It very often happens that an inadequate plasma cutting technique causes some side effects. One of them may be slag, the removal of which takes additional time, and often causes unplanned financial expenses. How to deal with this problem? Slag is molten metal that has not...
How to store plasma cutting gas?
Plasma is very often used to process various types of metals. It is the so-called fourth state of aggregate that resembles gas in structure. Its characteristic features are the conductivity of electric current, as well as a decrease in resistance with increasing temperature. The entire...
Plasma cutting methods and types
Depending on the needs, different types of cuts can be made with the plasma torch. We distinguish primarily manual and mechanical processing, which, thanks to the use of modern machines, is a much safer and more accurate method of burning metal. Plasma cutting can be...
What to remember when plasma cutting – what parameters are the key?
Plasma cutting is one of the most effective methods of machining aluminum, stainless steel and other electrically conductive materials. The process is characterized by both high efficiency and an extremely precise cutting edge, it also allows the separation of materials of much greater thickness than...
Advantages and disadvantages of plasma cutting
Although many people confuse these terms, it is important to remember at the outset that laser processing and plasma cutting are two different techniques, using different means to achieve similar results. In this article, we will focus on presenting the advantages and disadvantages of only...
Why is laser power so important?
This question, although it may seem naive and obvious, hides a number of aspects that professionals themselves are sometimes not aware of. That is why we decided to delve into this topic and not only present all the "obviousness", but also the secrets hidden by...
Metal laser cutting – is it worth it?
In our Knowledge Base, we have repeatedly raised issues related to various technologies for the processing of metal sheets - we compared their advantages and disadvantages, analyzed financial aspects, and explained the principle of operation of complex mechanisms. It's time, however, to take a closer...

Zdecydowanie najwięcej czasu zajmuje zastanawianie się, jak wybrać właściwą maszynę do cięcia laserem. Właśnie na to pytanie odpowiemy w tym artykule, zwracając...
Which laser cutters are worth using for sheet metal processing?
The times when sheet metal cutting was done with mechanical tools are long over. Currently, advanced, automated machines are used, which not only facilitate the entire process, but also increase its accuracy. At the same time, they translate into lower costs, so a properly selected...
What is the difference between a Fiber laser and CO2 cutting?
Niezależnie czy prowadzony jest niewielki warsztat czy duży zakład przemysłowy, niezbędne jest podjęcie decyzji które technologie zwiększą wydajność firmy, jednocześnie nie generując nieopłacalnych kosztów. Ten wybór staje się kluczowy również podczas pozornie małoistotnego cięcia rur. Na rynku najczęściej korzysta się z CO2 bądź laseru światłowodowego...
