Third, the characteristics
Compared with mechanical cutting machines (saw, milling, car, planing), hot cutting machines have the following characteristics:
1, flexible and convenient operation
It can cut out the shape of straight line, curve or space surface according to the predetermined trajectory, which is one of the most economical means of forming the material.
2, not subject to the size and weight of the workpiece
Also not subject to venue restrictions. It is especially suitable for the cutting of workpieces and the disintegration of waste materials on the construction site. Gas cutting, arc and plasma arc cutting can also achieve underwater cutting, and become an important means of marine rescue, marine engineering and underwater treatment of nuclear pollutants.
3, a wide range of materials that can be cut
Many hard materials that cannot be mechanically cut, such as cemented carbide and ceramic materials, can be hot cut.
4, precision gas cutting and plasma arc cutting
In particular, the quality of the laser-cut cut can be approximated to mechanical cutting without the need for machining.
