Plasma cutters are widely used in the metalworking industry due to their efficiency, speed, and wide cutting range. However, for a plasma cutter to operate smoothly and maintain high-quality cutting results, it requires more than just the equipment itself; a series of necessary conditions and supporting facilities are also required. Whether you are setting up a plasma cutter for a small workshop, a large manufacturing facility, or a CNC cutting system, understanding all the necessary components and conditions is crucial. Understanding these factors not only helps operators better use the machine, but also extends equipment life and reduces costs.
With growing production demands, more and more users are purchasing CNC machines to improve their productivity and meet their high-precision machining needs. However, operating CNC (computer numerical control) machines requires precision, concentration, and strict adherence to safety procedures. Most CNC operators understand the importance of best practices, but it's equally important to understand what not to do. Avoiding common mistakes not only extends machine life, but also prevents costly downtime and ensures operator safety. Below, UTECH will detail key mistakes to avoid when using CNC machines.
