Plasma Cutters are huge time savers. You can feel their value when they are down. Houston Machine Tool Services has the experience to quickly identify and resolve any issue you would have.
Plasma cutters and cutting machines use high voltage to create the arc they use to cut. Furthermore, if not properly grounded, this arc voltage can cause interference in other electrical components. This can cause your machine to behave in unexpected ways. We test machines for proper grounding to avoid these issues.
In addition to high voltage interference, plasma cutting machines also run into issues related to the dust created from the cutting process. This dust makes its way into every crack and crevice there is. This metal dust will get into your electrical components causing shorts on circuit boards. However, this isn’t the only problem this dust can cause. It will also work it’s way into mechanical parts such as linear guides and bearings. Furthermore, linear guides are especially susceptible to damage caused by this dust if they are not properly maintained. This problem is easily avoided through proper maintenance.
Houston Machine Tool Services offers Preventative Maintenance packages that can help identify and protect against these issues.
