CNC Plasma floating head – Z axis 26th February 2024 by Anze In this blog post we are presenting you the plasma floating head for more precise cutting and how it can benefit your CNC plasma cutter with torch heigh control. What is CNC Plasma floating head With plasma cutters, big sheets of metals are usually cut. These sheets usually don’t sit very flat on the plasma table and because of that, distance between the torch and the sheet can be different from one area to another. That leads to imprecise cuts and poor cut quality. Plasma floating head solves that problem....

What is CNC plasma cutting? What are CNC plasma cutters used for? CNC plasma cutting is the manufacturing process of cutting the material with plasma. The CNC plasma cutting process is a very well-known manufacturing process, which was used during 1980. Plasma cutting grew out of plasma welding in the 1960s and emerged as a very productive way to cut sheet metal and plate. It had advantages over traditional cutting with producing no metal chips, giving accurate cuts, and producing a cleaner edge. CNC plasma cutters are used for cutting sheet metals, metal signs, metal arts, metal tubes and pipes,...

The Arduino Uno R3 is a microcontroller board based on the ATmega328P. It has 6 digital input/output pins and 6 analog inputs/output pins, USB connection, a power jack, an ICSP header, and a reset button. It contains everything needed to support the microcontroller; simply connect it to a computer with a USB cable or power it with a AC-to-DC adapter or battery to get started. The Arduino Uno R3 controller boards requires the CNC shield to control a CNC machine. These two boards together with the stepper drivers forms the controller of the CNC machine and all the motors, sensors and...
