The Fast Cutting Speeds Achieved with ABB Plasma Cutting Robots

If you are look­ing for a low­er-cost alter­na­tive to laser or oxy-fuel cut­ting, you may want to con­sid­er plas­ma cut­ting robots. ABB Robot­ics makes a vari­ety of plas­ma cut­ting robots, and there are many used mod­els on the mar­ket as well, to cut costs even fur­ther. How­ev­er, the cost is not the only advan­tage of buy­ing a plas­ma cut­ting robot from ABB. The speed of the robot­ic sys­tem far out­per­forms any man­u­al sys­tem already in place.

Hands down, plas­ma arc cut­ting robots are some of the fastest auto­mat­ed cut­ting sys­tems on the mar­ket today, espe­cial­ly when deal­ing with thick­er met­als. An ABB plas­ma cut­ter can cut steel, up to 50mm thick, faster than an oxy-fuel cut­ter. It can also cut at greater speeds than a laser cut­ter in 3mm steel, accord­ing to INOX Ser­vice. With these increas­es in speed, an ABB robot­ic plas­ma cut­ter can pay for itself in as lit­tle as six months.

This increase in pro­duc­tiv­i­ty does not come at the sac­ri­fice of accu­ra­cy or qual­i­ty when it comes to the parts being cut. Parts are cut at a high­er rate of accu­ra­cy than could ever be achieved by a man­u­al cut­ting sys­tem. By using these robots, man­u­fac­tur­ers can decrease cut­ting errors and the amount of waste pro­duced dur­ing pro­duc­tion. This means that the man­u­fac­tur­er will not only save on labor costs, but mate­r­i­al as well, which only increas­es the return on investment.
