What's the difference between flame cutting machine and plasma cutting machine?

First, the working principle is different.

1. flame cutting machine: it is a cutting device that uses oxygen-containing gas or oxygen-containing gasoline to cut metal materials.

2. Plasma cutting machine: Plasma cutting is a processing method that uses the heat of high-temperature plasma arc to melt (and evaporate) the metal part at the workpiece incision, and uses the momentum of high-speed plasma to remove the molten metal to form the incision.

Second, the application is different.

1, flame cutting machine: flame cutting machine has small production investment and large processing thickness, and is suitable for rough machining industry with low precision requirements.

2. Plasma cutting machine: Plasma cutting machine is widely used in automobile, locomotive, pressure vessel, chemical machinery, nuclear industry, general machinery, construction machinery, steel structure and other industries.

Third, the characteristics are different.

1, flame cutting machine: it can cut large-thickness plates (China has mastered the flame cutting technology for cutting 2000mm thickness), the cutting equipment and cutting cost are relatively low, and the pollution is less than that of plasma cutting machine.

2. Plasma cutting machine: full-automatic and semi-automatic cutting mode selection; Digital precise control of cutting length; Simple operation.
